1957 Ford Thunderbird - CONCOURS RESTORATION. See VIDEO. Gorgeous!






1957 Ford Thunderbird - Concours Restoration.

Built on April 22, 1957, this was a California car for most of its life.

Factory optioned with 312 cubic inch 245 horsepower Thunderbird V-8 with Fordomatic transmission and 3.10:1 rear end. This car MOVES! Engine was completely rebuilt and now has less than 250 miles on it since restoration.

Full professional concours-quality, no-expense-spared restoration with meticulous attention to detail. The paint and finish is spectacular. All chrome has been replated to show quality. The only changes from original was the use of Colonial White leather for the interior (replacing the original vinyl) and the addition of a vintage air conditioning system which fits nicely. AM/FM radio. White soft top is brand new and has never been raised. Also includes beautifully restored porthole hardtop with rolling storage stand. The undercarriage is fully restored and as clean as the top of the car. Please see photos and video. This is a stunning car and looks even better in-person.  

This car was last publicly sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction in 2005 (Lot #759). Sale price then was $83,160.00.

Reserve price of this auction is WELL BELOW the previous sale price! Please bid accordingly.

If you are looking for one of the finest 1957 Thunderbirds available, this is it. Ready to show or go.

WE WILL HAPPILY SELL TO BIDDERS, WORLDWIDE.
