***** LOCATED IN CONNECTICUT ****** Eric's Muscle Cars is proud to
offer this 57 Baby Bird !! Always Garage kept this 57 comes with
the original drivetrain front to back and includes power windows !!
A headturner at any cruise or show this is a must have for any
Thunderbird lover ! This Baby Bird was bought on July 18,2011 from
a private owner in Trumbull Connecticut. I do have the original
sales receipt when the original owner purchased the car in 1957,
who lived in Los Angeles California. Body and Accessories: The car
was ordered with the following options, Hard top, E color, Pos
Action Wipers, Fordomatic Drive, Electric Windows, Dialamatic
Electric Seat, which is a rare option, Signal Seek Radio,
Heater/Defroster, Back up Lights, and Full Wheel Covers. Just a
note, to my knowledge this car was always a non-Smoking Car. I had
the convertible top replaced when I first bought the car at an
upholstery shop in Trumbull ct. and had the body repainted soon
after, not that it really needed to be repainted, it had some minor
scratches and paint fade, and wanted to remove the snaps that
fasten the Tonneau Cover at the doors, just something I did not
want to have on the doors. New England Collision at 465 Derby
Avenue West Haven Ct. painted the car. Hardtop: The Original
Hardtop is in great condition although never repainted, the paint
very acceptable. The previous owner had a new headliner installed
and is in excellent condition. I never did put the hardtop on the
car since I only drive the car in the summer months and enjoy the
car with the convertible top down. The hardtop is stored on the
aftermarket T-bird hand truck, and the top and hand truck goes
along with the car. Drive train: The car is a D code by the numbers
and has the original 312 Cubic inch engine, with 4- Barrel
Carburetor. It became obvious after looking at the car closely and
driving the car that the motor was rebuilt by a previous owner,
although none of those records were passed along when I bought the
car. I had the Carburetor rebuilt, and the exhaust replaced. I have
been driving the car for the past 10 years and put approximately
13,000 miles on it. The car runs excellent and does not burn any
oil between oil changes. It was also obvious that the transmission
was overhauled by a previous owner, but again those records were
not passed along. The transmission shifts well, and the car runs
excellent. Brakes: I had the brake system all checked out, new
brakes installed, and the master cylinder rebuilt, some of the
mechanical work was done at Mild to wild Automotive a shop at 217
derby Avenue Orange Ct. and other local shops in my area. Interior:
The interior is in great condition and is very comfortable. I have
the accessory Tonneau Cover, and many optional covers that go along
with the car
