A remarkable 1957 Ford Thunderbird. In addition to those desirable
attributes, how many 67-year-old Ford Classics have only had two
owners?! Delivered new in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the car was bought
there two years later by the second owner who later moved with it
to Portland, OR. The car was very well cared for (we have a large
file of service records) and was given a bare-metal repaint in its
original 'Gunmetal Gray' color several years ago.
At the same time the interior was completely redone in the original
color plus a new white convertible top was installed. The car
sports a great set of chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels and an
original-looking radio with modern bluetooth internals that was
recently installed. It has the popular 4-barrel 312 engine fitted
with the dress-up kit that included aluminum valve covers and five
new period-correct Coker tires were added last year.
The car is amazingly original and shows no sign of any past
accident damage or rust and is the nicest early 'Bird we've seen in
years. Our shop did a compression test (very good) and full tune up
last year, so the car runs great and has no remaining issues.
The market for these has softened, so while this would have been an
$80,000 car a few years ago, today it's a very attractive
opportunity at $49,500.
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on
our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect
first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We
practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that
nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself.
Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car,
and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic
happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a
knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales
are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our
cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We
follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future
clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
