1957 Ford Thunderbird for sale
Current customer rating: (173 votes ) based onI have had the car for three years - I was born in '57 too and bought it to celebrate my birthday and the T-Bird's birthday when we both turned 57 years young. I have kept it indoors. in an air-conditioned garage. under cover. I try to drive it about every week or so. but it only goes out on really beautiful. dry days. and typically only a couple of miles to my golf course or about 8 miles to my office. I have rarely had it above 35 mph. although it is well capable of much more with its Ford-O-Matic transmission and 245 HP 312 V8 engine and Holly carburetor. About 200 miles ago I had disc brakes and seat belts put in (the original brake parts were retained and are still available with the car). I also had the battery moved behind the driver's seat. and a battery disconnect switch and much heavier cables installed. I run the car on 100-Octane. ethanol-free aviation gasoline (available at most small airports) and it really likes it much better than the ethanol-gas we put into our everyday cars.
Showing 14. 57 miles on the odometer. it has been wonderfully restored and comes well-equiped with a white "port hole" style hard top. a white soft top. a blue tonneau cover. wire wheels. power windows and more.
It is a really beautiful car. but I have just purchased a big boat for my 60th birthday (a True North 38) and so I am focused on that now and the car is available to a good home where it will be appreciated and driven. Check out the photos below:
Bypassed heater core (new one is about $220) and outside air vent
Odometer shows 14. 57 miles. but it might be 114. 57 miles. or might be miles since the restoration.
