1955 Ford Thunderbird
Description
This modified Ford Thunderbird roadster replica features a replacement fiberglass body mounted over an Art Morrison frame and is powered by a 406ci V8 linked to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in black and is equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and mufflers, tubular exhaust headers, a revised camshaft and lifters, Keith Black pistons, billet pulleys, four-wheel disc brakes, and Dutchman axles. The cabin is fitted with contoured bucket seats trimmed in black leather along with an Alpine stereo system and power windows. Five-spoke black-finished 16″ wheels are mounted with 225/50 front and 245/50 rear Goodyear Eagle tires. The car rides on an Art Morrison chassis and coilover suspension, and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is installed. Stopping power is supplied by disc brakes at each corner. The modified interior features contoured bucket seats trimmed in black leather that extends to the center console and doors. Equipment includes a floor-mounted shifter, power windows, and an Alpine audio system. The 406ci V8 is fitted with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, ceramic-coated exhaust headers, and a finned air cleaner and valve covers. Additional equipment reportedly includes a Cloyes roller timing gear, Crane roller rockers, Keith Black pistons, a revised camshaft, Summit Racing lifters, ARP fasteners, billet pulleys, and an LT1-style oil pump.
