A very rare bird.
Tuxedo Black 1957 E-Bird, frame off restored, painted in correct, code-AA, Raven Black
with very nice matching, black and white interior,

trim code-AX, and rare black 1957 porthole delete hard top.
One of
only 1,443 E-birds built, and one of
only 280
with over drive and a rare T-85 three-speed
manual transmission. This rare E-Code Thunderbird
received a
frame-off
restoration 9 years ago and has been driven less than 500 miles since then. The
original 312/270hp E-Code engine was rebuilt by a
Ronnie Groff, a professional Thunderbird
engine
builder in San
Antonio, Texas. The engine is
topped
off
with correct dual quad Holley
carburetors and is nicely optioned with Ford "Sure Swift" power brakes. Even the Ford factory clock and Ford Town amp; Country radio was rebuilt and upgraded with blue tooth
technology.
The car comes with a rare 1957 port hole delete hard top and a full tonneau cockpit cover with no cumbersome
soft top to drag out behind the seats and
scratch the car. This
beautiful E Bird is rolling on correct Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and Firestone
wide whites for that factory
correct look.
