This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is one of 1,499 E-code examples
featuring a 312ci V8 equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors and
has benefitted from a complete rotisserie restoration. The car is
finished in one of our most favorite colors of Coral Sand with a
Colonial white vinyl interior. This Thunderbird is very well
optioned including a three-speed automatic transmission, a white
convertible soft top, 14 wire wheels, rear fender skirts, a heater,
power windows, power seats and a push-button Town and Country AM
radio. The car underwent a complete rotisserie body-off
refurbishment completed by Mark Barker in 2009. This is a
Thunderbird that captures everyone's attention and would be
accepted into most any concours event. The livery is stunning in
Coral Sand (Paint Code ZZ) with a white convertible top and is
complemented by the wire wheels and wide white walled BF Goodrich
tires. The paint quality is absolutely concours ready. The paint is
beautifully polished with excellent shine and luster. Additional
exterior accessories include an as-new white vinyl convertible soft
top, drivers and passenger side mirrors, rear fender skirts with
stainless steel stone guards. The 14-inch chrome wire wheels wear
Thunderbird-logoed turbine-style covers. A full-size spare wheel
and jack are stored in the trunk. The exterior is in concours ready
condition. The interior features a bench seat upholstered in
pleated Colonial white vinyl (Trim Code XK) joined by matching
white door panels and dashboard, and black carpets. The interior is
in concours ready condition. Additional amenities include a heater,
power windows, power seats, and a push-button Town and Country AM
radio, lap belts for both occupants, engine-turned aluminum trim,
and a floor-mounted gear selector.The white factory three-spoke
steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a 140-mph
speedometer, 5k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges
indicating coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit
odometer shows 75,160 miles, which are presumed the total mileage
from new. All the instrumentation works well except the clock. The
engine compartment, suspension and chassis are all as new and in
detailed concours condition. The E-Code option 312ci V8 is equipped
with dual four-barrel Holly carburetors, an aluminum intake
manifold, a high-performance camshaft and was factory rated at 272
horsepower and 338 ft. lbs. of torque. Additional features include
the finned Thunderbird valve covers and a chromed air cleaner
housing.Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed
Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission equipped with overdrive. The
Thunderbird starts up easily when cold and drives beautifully. The
power steering makes it easy to steer. There is an auxiliary
electric fuel pump for vapor lock or priming purposes. This
Thunderbird comes with a detailed photos documenting the
comprehensive restoration. According to the JD Power NADA Value,
