For Sale: 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

Right out of California. Loaded with options including both top, power steering, brakes and much more! Recent $35,000 restoration.

EXTERIOR: Very fresh restoration. The body is very clean and straight. There's no rust or damage. The paint is buffed to a very smooth glossy finish. It appears that just about every piece of exterior chrome and trim has been replaced. The bumpers, hood scoop, door handles, emblems have been replaced. The grill and stainless trim looks new. Taillights are new. The moldings around the windshield have been polished. Has tinted glass. There are some minor wiper marks in the upper corner of the windshield. Has correct antenna. The porthole removable hardtop has been restored at the same time. It's painted like the car, new headliner and weatherstrip gaskets. The black convertible top is new. It is a factory framework, not the cheap reproduction. It has a new black convertible and new weather strips. Brand new chrome wire wheels with spinners sparkle like diamonds. New radial whitewall tires too. Weather strips around the doors and fuzzy window seals have been replaced.

INTERIOR: Also freshly restored. New cushions in the seat, new correct upholstery with the Thunderbird logo embossed in the middle. It all fits real nice and tight. The vinyl divider behind the seat is new. New carpet, sill plates and reproduction floor mats. New dash pad and it's installed properly. New visors. All new door panels. Reproduction steering wheel, slightly smaller for easier in and out. The instrument area is very nice, the knobs, bezels, gauges are clean. Has a retro stereo fit right into the factory hole.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is restored. It features factory power steering, power brakes and the engine dress up kit which includes a chrome air cleaner, oil breather and finned aluminum valve covers. Detailed with Ford hoses, clamps and windshield washer bag. Correct glass fuel filter, upgraded with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. The 312 motor was recently rebuilt according to the previous and our inspection supports that. It runs smooth.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Rock solid original metal painted white and it has a complete gray and white liner kit. There is an accessory carpet mat over that with sewn edges. Also has a radial whitewall for a spare and includes the jack. Weatherstrip has been replaced.

UNDERSIDE: The front end looks like it has been gone through. I see new bushings, shocks, power steering hoses. Bottom of the motor is fresh. Has clean paint, clean freeze plugs, starter looks new. Automatic trans looks fresh. Dual exhaust goes through the rear bumper. Rear shocks and springs look new. The metal does look solid. Frame isn't pitted.

This bird if full of desirable accessories and has recently been restored. It's a sharp looker!

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
