trimacar Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Early Birds are a commodity, one searches for the one with colors and options wanted. Agreed that pictures are needed. Plus, a non running T-bird, even with both tops, has a hard time breaking the 20k mark. Get it running, clean it up, pictures… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Pretty sure that's a 292 v8 instead of 291. If I remember correctly, that engine was approaching 200 hp in '55. Pretty respectable for a car of that size in that era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The little birds were fine on power, but don’t confuse an early Tbird with a sports car. Handling was adequate, but dive into a curve too fast and one knew the suspension was wanting. I’ve owned a dozen of them, all three years, and that’s my experience. Lovely cars, though. The 56 cowl vents helped keep your legs from baking with transmission heat, and moving the spare out of the trunk that same year at least gave you room for a Dopp kit in the trunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopp kit? Is that like a Dope kit? Just joking, I learned a lot from your comments. The original seller-helper has listed a couple of quickie member sign ons. There will not be a sale from this viewing. Most nice people are passing on critical comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
