1956 Ford Thunderbird, 312 V8, 3 Speed Manual transmission with Overdrive, Power Steering, Power Seat.
This T Bird came out of California after a 25+ year hibernation, it was painted a Metal Flake Green back in the 60s and got a few minor custom touches like the Crown Vic Headlight rings and custom interior touches. I went through and made the car a driver, replacing the Brake hydraulics, Fuel system components and miscellaneous worn or bad components. The car runs and drives good, the Overdrive works excellent, the car rides a bit rough due to its Lowered Stance, and the motor smokes on start up, it needs a set of new Valve guides or seals to fix that.
The T bird has an extremely rare set of Magnesium American Racing wheels, I will give the high bidder the opportunity to take $2500 off the final purchase price if I keep the wheels and tires. I have a set of steel painted wheels that match the car that could be put on for transit, but do need new tires before use.
The body is very solid with just one spot of rust in the right rear quarter, it was however hit in the nose at some time in its life and there is bondo in the nose of the car. It is a very solid body but has its share of bumps and bruises.
The interior is clean and useable with new carpet in the factory color, the seat is a power seat but is not hooked u at this time and I do not know if it works or not.
For the most part everything works on the car, the only non functioning items I can think of are the Fuel gauge and the radio.
The last time I took the car out a few weeks ago , the radiator developed a small pin hole that needs to be fixed.
This car gets more looks everywhere it goes than anything else, it is a real head turner. you don't see T Birds like this out there, they are either restored stock or basket cases, this is a car you can get in and drive and have fun with and get tons of attention. It could use a bit of TLC but is a great Period Correct mild custom and has not really been changed.
Please call Chip @ 503-320-7391 with further questions and I can email interested parties a lot more detail pictures I have of the car upon request.
Thanks for looking!

2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395
Mon, 28 Jul 2014The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.
Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
