1956 FORD SUNLINER CONVERTIBLE for sale. Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this 1956 Ford Sunliner convertible featured in the striking two-tone combination of Diamond Blue over Peacock Blue with a two-tone blue vinyl interior and dark blue convertible top. At first glance this looks like a beautiful, factory stock restoration, but look closer and notice the 4.6 High Performance badges on the front fenders and check out what you see under the hood. This superb Sunliner is actually a meticulously engineered and executed resto-mod featuring a modern high performance powertrain and all the comfort and convenience features you want in a reliable and user-friendly 50s convertible.
The powertrain in this Ford is from a 1997 Mark 8 Lincoln. It features the 4.6L double overhead cam fuel-injected V8 with the computer-controlled automatic overdrive transmission. The intake manifold was upgraded to a 1997 Mustang Cobra unit, and the 5 qt oil pan was replaced with a 6 qt pan. The original Mark 8 radiator, condenser, and AC compressor were used, and the complete wiring harness for the engine, transmission, dash cluster and ECU were installed so that everything is compatible and OBD diagnostics can be done using the VIN from the powertrain donor car. The front sub-frame is from Fatman Fabrications and includes an upgrade to disc brakes. There are new front coil springs with TRW Moog 8556 rebuilt rear leaf springs and bushings. The original rear end retains 3.10 gears with new rear shocks and drum brakes. A new driveshaft mates the upgrades powertrain to the rear end and there is a new brake booster and master cylinder with a combination valve. A new 56 ford fuel tank was modified to fit an electric fuel pump and the trunk floor modified for easy access to the pump.
Notice the beautifully integrated Mark 8 instrument cluster. The interior also features power seats, Nu-Relics power windows all around, Classic Air AC and AM/FM stereo sound system. The workmanship is all first-class and this car drives like no other 1956 Ford! This Sunliner is fully sorted and is ready to cruise.
