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, the average sales value is over $100,000.  We have this priced to sell.
