For Sale: 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Vehicle Description

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.
