GarageScout Take

Purchased by the seller’s parents from its original owner in Ohio in 1961, this 1955 Ford Thunderbird remained in the family and was relocated to Nevada in 1972. The 2005, 2009 refurbishment included replacement sheet metal in the lower doors and rocker panels, a rebuilt 302ci V8, 12-volt conversion, suspension work, and interior reupholstery. It also received power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, under-dash air conditioning, a modern stereo, and 15-inch alloy wheels.

  • Documented refurbishment
