Description : Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present this breathtaking 1955 Ford Thunderbird (Shay Replica). Don't let the Replica fact of this Bird fool you. Because the bird is definitely the word when it comes to this one. This Thunderbird sends a strong statement with its classy design but packs a mean punch when you hit that gas pedal. If you want that classic look that will break necks when you drive by, to that hot rod power that will put you in your seat, this Bird is for you!! From the pictures you can see this T-Bird is dressed to express in its Red exterior paint, and polished wheels. Nothing is more aggressive but yet classy than the Red & Black color combo on this Bird. Lets get to talking more about the punch this Ford has to offer, the drivetrain. Open up that hood and you'll be staring in the eyes of this 351 Windsor V8. This stout power plant is paired up to a Tremec 5 speed transmission and a 9 Inch rear end to control that power. So, not only the excitement of a manual. But the drivability of all 5 gears, makes this Bird a true cruiser for the streets. The fiberglass body is significantly lighter than a real bird, and that engine is significantly more powerful making for a real fun car to drive. Some of the options also on this Bird consist of Removable Hard Top, and Power Rack & Pinion Steering. Call us today to talk more about this sweet ride.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
