FRAME-OFF Restoration circa 2005. Daddy says I am a very special and unique TBird. restorers know you cannot restore my level today for $125,000. Much more than just nip and tuck.
My odometer shows 9,000 pleasure miles since my restoration. I believe I am in better condition than the day I was born April 1955. What doctors can do these days. Daddy drove 6,000 of those trouble-free pleasure miles escorting his Maltese and Shih Poo to the Punta Gorda Nature Park. We pleasure drive to the Punta Gorda Nature Park twice, or even thrice, on nearly every dry day.
I boast a strong Y-block 312 cubic inches (5.1 liters) motor, 3-speed Ford-O-Matic, front disc brakes (2021), power steering, power windows, 1957-style space saver trunk, 1957-style interior, and 1957-style dash with Dakota DIGITAL instrument cluster. FOUR tail lights, COLD Air Conditioning, NEW TIRES January 2025, BLUETOOTH Radio and speaker installed August 2025, rare buckskin tan paint with like-new matching canvas top (looks as if it were installed yesterday), and so, so much more. That is a lot for a girl to remember at 70 years old. That makes me a septuagenarian.
Why is Daddy selling me? Daddy is a retired hospice RN, and he says, "No one is getting out alive". Daddy is months away from becoming an octogenarian. He is totally blind (thank you, "vaccine") in one eye, and deals with many of the medical issues every pre-octogenarian would have. Daddy's clock has a short fuse, and it is ticking.
Similar examples have crossed the block at B-J and Mecum for well over $200,000 up to $450,000 (+$45,0000 commission+$34,000 sales tax). Daddy says he is too old, sick, and lazy to get off the couch and take me to one of the big auctions. YOU and Daddy EACH SAVE because neither of you needs to pay 10% to the auctioneer. They were a bit better than me, but certainly not $400,000. Again, I am not your typical 1955 $30,000 spray-and-go. No shame in driving a $25,000 Tbird if that is all you think you can afford. I am INVESTMENT quality. I have not seen a mechanic in well over 3 years. I am quality. Text three eight six. eight four seven. two five two six.
PLAN B: Buy one of those $25,000 Tbirds, invest $ 125,000 or more, spend three years restoring it, and you can recreate ME.
I am a 3X GOLD AWARD WINNER (bling bling), AND I COULD BE YOURS. I am a chick magnet. FUN, FUN, FUN until your daddy... You worked hard for your money. Invest in FUN and release some endorphins.
