Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This Golden Rod Yellow Thunderbird is a unique resto-mod. It has the best of the new and the old. Classic styling and flair - check. Modern power, reliability, and comfort - check. First, we'll talk about the obvious. This 1955 Thunderbird was fully restored from the frame up in 2017. Every worn part was removed and refurbished or replaced out right - including extensive bodywork. The car now appears 'as new' and would make any purist proud. However, the 292ci V8 Y block was tossed in favor of a fuel injected, computer managed, aluminum 6.2L LS3 V8! A 4L60 automatic handles shifting duties with a Dana 44 rear end putting the power to the ground. When you slide behind the wheel, you're greeted with factory power seats, electric power steering and power brakes. Enhancing the modern experience are disk brakes up front and electric fans to keep things cool under the hood. The car comes with a binder full of receipts and documents covering the restoration. It runs great, looks great and drives great. A Yellow, head turning, 50s roadster that will make anyone proud.

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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
