Now priced to sell. Must make room in garage for another classic car I recently purchased.
Very nice numbers matching 1957 Thunderbird with 312 V8 and the rare factory three speed on the floor with electro-mechanical overdrive. Includes both tops: the white hardtop with porthole and tan soft top. New foam and upholstery in 10/15.
This Thunderbird was originally purchased in Fort Worth , Texas and has remained in the Dallas/Fort Worth area all of its life. There is no rust per recent independent inspection. Out of 21,380 T Birds produced in 1957, only 757 came with the three speed manual transmission with the overdrive, and this one has it. Most all of the interior has been replaced. An after-market AC was added and it works well. An AM/FM Thunderbird radio was also added. The 312 V8 is numbers matching and has been rebuilt. The car tracks perfectly straight at 70 mph. This T-Bird is a great everyday driver.
The tires are steel-belted radials with the classic look of 2-1/4 whitewalls. The hubcaps are the original T Bird hubcaps. The paint is in "fair" condition and is priced accordingly. Up close you can see some bubbling in the paint on the hood and trunk. From 10 feet away or more the car looks great in the shinny factory color of Flame Red. The car starts easily, idles smoothly, runs well and drives beautifully. This car looks good and turns heads wherever you take it. It is now priced where you could get it painted and still have a real value for the money.
