Vehicle Description
1957 Ford Thunderbird located in Newport Beach, California. This
car has been completely restored and meticulously maintained. The
passenger compartment, engine bay, and undercarriage are
immaculate. Highly detailed engine bay with inspection markings.
Built on November 20th, 1957, this Thunderbird carries the factory
correct paint color of "Sun Gold" which was actually a 1958 color
the factory applied on late 1957 cars. Colonial white pleated vinyl
interior. Previously owned by a United States Navy flight commander
of an aircraft carrier, the windshield still bears the parking pass
from Miramar Air Station near North San Diego County, California
from 1991. It also has "year of manufacture" 1956/1957 yellow
California license plates which will only stay with the car if sold
in California. Engine: D-Code 312, 4 Valve, V8 with 245 horsepower.
Includes chrome air cleaner, Thunderbird finned valve covers,
aluminum air conditioning compressor, under-dash air conditioning
unit which blows ice cold air. Manual 3-speed transmission with
overdrive. Axle ratio: 3:70 to 1. No power steering, no power
windows, and no power seats which means less things to go wrong!!!
Includes a white vinyl manual operated convertible top. Also
includes a removable hardtop with portholes painted in Sun Gold
which matches the body. Older aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette radio with
large Pioneer TS-X30 speakers behind seat. Radio works very well.
Manual telescopic steering column. Includes Seat Belts. The
whitewall tires have good tread, but they probably need replacement
soon. The odometer reads 41,000 miles, but I do not believe this is
accurate because there is very little road grime and hardly any
dirt under the car, but I cannot prove the correct mileage since
the restoration. I did not restore this car. Comes with the
original factory invoice from Dearborn, Michigan stamped and dated
November 21st, 1957. Drives great!! Everything works!! This is
really a beautiful car. Owner seeks 35K. Inspections encouraged and
welcomed by appointment only. Financing and shipping assistance
available. ******************DISCLAIMER: PLEASE READ
