55 Thunderbird , 2-door Coupe, Hardtop Only, Restoration, Project Car, on 2040-cars
New Tazewell, Tennessee, United States
This baby bird(1955), is the first year for the thunderbird and this car has never been restored. It is mostly complete and original. It does run and lot drives. The brakes are down on it from years of sitting. The car needs the restoration that has been started---finished! Most all the outside body work has been completed and the body is strait. The interior is original and only missing the door panels. The only other thing missing that I am aware of is the wiper assemblies. The interior deffinately needs restored. The tires on the car are older and Bias-Ply. they do hold air and are wide whites.The engine sound good and does not seem to smoke. There are no leaks that I can see in the cooling system. The front floor boards have had fiberglass cloth put over them and can be finished as is or have new pans installed. They are readily available and cheap. The windshield is new along with the rubber. Both the door glasses are also new. I have a good Tn. Title in my name for the car.
This car is believed to be a three owner car(including myself). It belonged to a lady school teacher for more than 30 to 40 years. She passed away in 2011. The car was bought from her estate. This car is sold where is, as is. There is absolutely "NO" warranty-expressed or implied, of any kind. All sales are final , no returns and no refunds. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements. I will assist in any reasonable way that I can. You are encouraged to personally inspect the car prior to making a bid on the car or have a representative inspect it for you(at you own expense)! Ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid on the car. If you bid, you bid to own "NOT COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT". These ebay auctions are expensive and not to be taken as a lightly. If you have less than 5 ebay feedback ratting, please contact me prior to bidding or "I WILL DELETE YOUR BID"! You can call (765)413-4411 for further information. This vehicle is listed in other mediums and may be sold and removed from ebay at anytime. This car is being sold with a low and reasonable reserve and should be affordable to anyone wanting to get into a first generation thunderbird. |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
