Vehicle Description
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
& 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. EXTERIOR: True Tuxedo Black car Code AA Frame-off
