3. NO RUST EVER CAR FROM CALIFORNIA AUCTION CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MEXICO (1991) WHEN THE BUYER WENT TO JAIL FOR DRUGS???????????????? THATS THE STORY I GOT. I'M A TRUE FORD MAN AND I DO KNOW BIRDS MY FIRST BIRD WAS A 1955 BACK IN 1957. THIS CAR WAS SO CLEAN THAT I REFUSED TO TAKE IT OFF THE FRAME. THE BUMPERS- GRILL- HUBCAPS WINDSHIELD CHROME ARE ALL ORIGINAL NO RE CHROME. CAR WAS STRIPPED BY MYSELF AND SENT OUT TO BE MEDIA BLASTED (THIS PROCESS TALKS OFF PAINT WITH ANY SAND MARKS) (VERY EXPENSIVE)
4.MILEAGE : SPEEDO SHOWS 26,633 MILES I THOUGH AT THE TIME THAT IT HAS 126,633 MILES BUT AFTER GETTING IT BACK TO OHIO AND SEEING THE QUALITY OF THE BODY (NO RUST) I DETERMINED THE SPEEDO TO BE CORRECT. THATS MY CALL AND I BELIEVE IT.
5. ENGINE: I PULLED THE ENGINE PRIOR TO CAR BEING PAINTED. DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR AND AND WITH THE NEW TYPES OF FUEL AVAILABLE (UN LEADED) I PULLED OFF THE HEADS TO HAVE THEM SERVICED AND UP-GRADED FOR THE NEW TYPE FUEL. WHAT WE FOUND IN SIDE THE CYLINDER WALL WERE THE ORIGINAL SWIRL MARKS FROM THE FACTORY ENGINE HONING MARKS . I(INDICATES LOW MILEAGE) 6. AFTER MARKET GAUGES: WHEN YOU HAVE A CAR OF THIS QUALITY YOU WOULD WANT TO INSURE THAT SOME UP-GRADED EQUIPMENT IS ON BOARD TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH REGARDING ENGINE OPERATION (OIL PRESSURE NOT AN IDIOT LIGHT SAME GOES FOR THE TEMP GAUGE (DON'T TRUST AN IDIOT LIGHT) ORIGINAL GAUGES ARE ACTIVE IN THE ORIGINAL DASH BOARD AFTER MARKET GAUGES CAN BE REMOVED. CAR ALSO HAS A ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. (KNOW YOUR CARS ) GAS EVAPORATES WITH AN ELECTRIC PUMP IT GETS GAS TO THE 4 BARREL CARB INSTANTLY WITH OUT RUNNING THE STARTED FOR 30 OR 40 SECONDS TO GET FRESH FUEL FROM THE GAS TANK. I START THE CAR AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND AND ONLY DRIVE IT TO CAR SHOWS. AGAIN I KNOW OLD CARS I'M A OLD GUY (78).
7. 1955 FORDS AND TBIRDS WERE 6 VOLT (POSITIVE GROUND) STARTING IN 1957 FORD WENT TO 12 VOLTS (NEGATIVE GROUND).
8. BRAKES ARE NEW .
9. COMPLETE FACTORY STAINLESS DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM. LAST YEAR I INSTALL A PAIR OF HOLLY-WOOD STYLE MUFFLERS TO GET THE 50'S SOUND. THE STAINLESS MUFFLERS GO WITH CAR YOUR CHOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. NEW WIDE WHITE WALL TIRES (((((( RADIALS)))))) COAKER TIRES FROM CASCO IN OHIO
11. TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETE REBUILD IN 1992 GOOD FRIEND OLD FORD MECHANICFROM THE 50'S (THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE)
12. HEADLAMP COVERS ARE ORIGINAL 1955 FORD CROWN VICTORIA THEY LOOK GREAT WITH THE CHROME LIP THIS WAS A STANDARD CHANGE FOR ANY BIRD OWNER IN THE 50'S ADDS CLASS TO THE FRONT END THE FORD DESIGNERS DIDNT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
