1957 Ford Thunderbird "E-Bird" with Exceptionally Rare E-Code Option
1957 Ford Thunderbird is one of 977 E-Code thunderbirds ever produced. The “E-Code” option, regarded by many as the most desirable option available in the Thunderbird, features the 312-cubic inch V-8, which is topped with a pair of Holley four-barrel carburetors and was graced with a larger bore, longer stroke, higher compression ratio, and an automatic choke. This engine offered more horsepower than any other small block V-8, beating Chevrolet’s fuel-injected 283 by only two horsepower. As one of four engine options available for 1957, very few were equipped as such, making the aptly nicknamed “E-Bird” rare and the car of choice for those who were looking for the comfort that the Thunderbird provided but with some extra punch.
This particular example is a California car just out of long term storage that's been patiently awaiting straightforward restoration. White with white and black interior. Factory hardtop with porthole. The car comes complete with its bumpers. Not currently running. An exciting opportunity for any collector or enthusiast alike. This is one rare bird!
