Description:

1957 Ford Thunderbird

This unique car is for the guy who likes to feel his car & drives it with passion. No fufu stuff here, pure power. For the true sport driver that loves to shift, to negotiate winding roads, go on rallies, even compete in vintage car races and gets off on hearing the thunder matched to a real gearbox. AND, to top it off this triple red bird is one of less than 1% of the 1957 production run C code. Numbers matching powerful 292 OHV world famous ”Y" Block THUNDERBIRD V8 with correct 259 transmission and 9" rear end, giving you the very rare 3 speed manual shift.
Beautiful, new leather interior seating with new visors, carpet, kick & door panels, headliner & dash. Even the drop curtain and boot are new. The car runs & drives, stops & looks very good with older restoration. She is what some call the export model (when Europeans liked basics: no power stealing equipment) real sports cars. This is a blast on country roads. Original steering wheel & fender skirts included. Odometer reads 36,000. I believe it to be correct, yet can not verify this. Both hard & soft tops are included, hard with ports, new headliner & visors. The canvas top has never been up out of the garage, so, even though its 5-6 years old its like brand new.
I do drive this car and so there are miner scratches & road chips you may only see upon close visual. She turns heads alright, and is a show stopper at local events, however, will not win against trailer queens. She loves the road too much.
I invite personal inspections & bonded test-drives.
