Hello bidders- many of you have been asking about the hardtop. It was painted as the same time as the rest of the car and is in excellent condition. It does have the pothole, the hardtop was rarely used and it’s cover and kept in garage, sorry I do not have any pictures

@selldadcar, I’m interested in your 1956 Ford Thunderbird as the other bidders listed on selldadcar.com, but after a very bad experience buying a 1962 Corvette on the same site (multiple undisclosed issues due to seller's lack of transparency), I need full clarity before proceeding. Please provide the following: Clear photos of the hardtop (exterior, interior, and any damage). Current condition report: paint, chrome, interior, glass, etc. Detailed engine history – any rebuilds, modifications, or recent work? Carburetor status: original, rebuilt, or replaced? (These ’56 carbs are notorious for leaking and being difficult to tune.) Any other mechanical or cosmetic issues I should know about? I am near JFK this morning, and would prefer to inspect the car in person before any deposit or further discussion. Are you available for a viewing in the next couple of hours? Thank you - Hoglover 305-203-2467
