This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is one of approximately 1,499 built for the model year that were ordered with an E-code 312ci V8 equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors. This example is equipped with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and additional features include a removable black hardtop, a tonneau cover, chrome trim, Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire wheels, rear fender skirts, and a Town and Country radio. The car was refurbished during prior ownership, which included repainting the exterior in black, retrimming the interior with black and white upholstery, and a rebuild of the drivetrain
The exterior was refinished in black during prior ownership. A removable black hardtop is included in the sale, and additional equipment includes rear fender skirts, an egg-crate grille, and chrome bumpers with integrated exhaust outlets. The seller notes visible paint bubbles on a portion of the hood, and the car is not equipped with a soft top.
Chrome-finished Kelsey Hayes wire wheels are fitted with three-eared spinners and Firestone whitewall tires.
The cabin was reportedly refurbished in 2014 and features replacement black and white upholstery on the bench seat and door panels, along with a black-padded dashboard and engine-turned metal trim. A black tonneau cover can be configured to cover one or both seats, and the car is equipped with a telescoping steering wheel and a Town and Country radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and sits ahead of factory instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles.
The E-code 312ci Y-block V8 is equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors and was reportedly rebuilt by Ronnie Graff of San Antonio, Texas. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission equipped with overdrive. The engine and transmission were reportedly rebuilt during prior ownership, and an oil change was recently performed.
