A quick check of the pictures would indicate that this once great car has been road hard and is a bit tired -

There is enough for a fun drive on a Sunday afternoon -

I agree wholeheartedly! Moreover, it seems the seller is unrealistic. With all the work this car will need to make it crisp and stand tall, the reserve seems high.

That 55 is as close to perfect as one can get - Great Bird

I'm no early Bird expert, but that looks about as close to a new one as I've ever seen. Not inexpensive though. What a beauty.

Thanks for dangling the carrot in front of the horse, Jim! Good grief! I want that Bird! But my needs are bigger than my wants.

I'll take the trailer for the same price as the '56. Odd the '56 says 0 miles. Wonder how many miles it really has on it - or did I miss something

Re: '56 T-Bird on Ebay....

Don't think I will be buying a $69K T bird but it's probably worth that much or close to it. You can't do that calibre restoration with out a pristine car to start with. I seriously doubt that there is a huge profit in this car. Yes if I won a Lotto I'd buy it

Re: '56 T-Bird on Ebay....

I think my classic car days are over. After having broken my hip last December, while I'm doing better, I really have no desire to crawl around and under an old car anymore to keep it roadworthy. I prefer something like my 2 current T-Birds where I can just get in, drive, and enjoy.

Re: '56 T-Bird on Ebay....

Got to say, Greg, that this makes perfect sense to me. And while I don't have a broken hip in my history (glad you're doing better, by the way!), I no longer find the enjoyment of tackling these kind of projects. If I could afford the Minter '55 Bird, I also want the disposable income that comes with just keeping it on the road without me being on my back!

I'm seventy-two and can still get down on a creeper and crawl around
and under my cars like I did fifty years ago. It's the getting up part that I
haven't been able to figure out,oh my aching back.
