1959 Ford Thunderbird 352 FE and cruise-o-matic auto with B&M shifter
the car has a brand new custom blue over silver paint job with all rust professionally cut out. paint job alone cost $20,000.
while the thunderbird was being painted the motor was removed and rebuilt, the 352fe is now 40 thou oversize, new timing chain and gears, it has a 272 crane cam and valve springs, the were heads rebuilt with new valves and seats to suit unleaded.
it also has a new 1411 edelbrock 750 carbie.
the cooling system was redone at the same time with all new hoses and the radiator and water pump were reconditioned
most if not all of the car has been rewired using a fuse holder, back in 59 they didn't fuse anything.
it still runs drum brakes so it doesn't stop the best but it looks cool doing it
the tyres are really good and the 20in 100 spoke wheels really give it a great look.
the only part of the car that lets it down is the interior, the seats are dirty and the foam isn't the best, and the door trims are in need of a recover as the vinyl is peeling off on the bottom. the dash is also cracked but it has a cover so it cant be seen. all of this can be seen in the pictures.
this car has had all the hard work done so you can just get in and drive, it turns heads everywhere it goes
located in Victoria Australia
looking for $35,000 Ono I'll be sad to see the girl go, but it is a house deposit just sitting there
