Vehicle Description
Stunning 1957 Ford E-Thunderbird finished in Flame Red with Red
Interior. Highest quality frame off and fully restored example with
only 5 miles since restoration. This beautiful example is powered
by it's original 'born-with' 312ci V8 engine that's been
professionally rebuilt, with dual 4bbl Holley carburetors. A smooth
shifting Ford-O-Matic Transmission delivers power to pavement. The
E-Code example is a sought-after variant that featured the optional
312ci V8 Engine, which produced an impressive 270hp/336lb-ft of
torque. This engine had a longer bore, longer stroke, higher
compression ratio, and an automatic choke compared to the other
engine options available for the Thunderbird. It is one of the most
desired versions of the 1957 Thunderbird, as there were only 1,449
produced. This fabulous Thunderbird is an all numbers matching
example and has factory options that include; power steering, power
brakes, a Town & Country radio, and the trademark Porthole hardtop.
It has a new set of Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels and comes with its
original invoice to authenticate the car. A sensational and all
numbers matching E-Thunderbird that is one of the best of the best
and shouldn't be missed. It is a multiple show-winning car that was
awarded the Senior Class Gold Award in its inaugural showing, at
the 2015 New Mexico Classic Thunderbird Club International Show
(Concours 1 - Most Authentic Class).The Ford Thunderbird was the
answer to GM and the 1953 Chevrolet Corvette they built. In 1955,
Ford decided it was their turn and gave full reigns to their team
to design a two-seater that was for the everyday person but held
their own against the competition Chevy was putting out there.
Though the first installment wasn't as fast as those from Chevy,
they eventually solidified the Thunderbird as a classy two-seater
with power. 1957 would end up being the last version of the
Thunderbird that was known for its sporty demeanor and allowed only
two people in the cabin (until 2002), as they would redesign and
enlarge the model moving forward.For more information on this
