This stunning custom 1957 Ford Thunderbird once belonged to a
fighter pilot who was shot down during combat. His wife kept the
car for 20 years in Clearwater Florida awaiting his return.
Eventually the car was sold to his best friend before making its
way to its current owner. Recently, the Thunderbird has undergone a
three year complete restoration and transformation. Zero expense
has been spared during the rebuild and no bolt left unturned.
Under the hood you will find an Indy Race built 302 CI V-8 with an
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition and Hedman Hedders, and
a Monster Transmission 4-speed automatic with overdrive and
Traction-Lok limited-slip rear axle with 3.31 gears. The cobra
finned valve covers and polished serpentine belt drive system are
show ready while A Be Cool aluminum radiator maintains ideal
temperature. Power rack-and-pinion steering and power disc brakes
are paired with stunning wire-spoke wheels with spinners and wide
whitewall tires for a comfortable driving experience.
The car is presented in a striking three stage Coral Sand paint.
Beneath the Haartz cloth convertible top you will find a gorgeous
Nappa leather interior with deep-cushion bucket seats and SpeedHut
gauges in distinguished mother of pearl inlay. Additional equipment
includes, Vintage Air climate control, a Kicker stereo with
OEM-look radio controls, a leather-wrapped billet steering wheel on
a tilt column, custom pedals and a floor shifter with polished
aluminum knob.
