1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD - REMOVABLE HARDTOP - V8 - 3-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIN: C7FH293602 Year: 1957 Make: Ford Model: Thunderbird Engine: V8 Trans: 3-Speed Manual Drive: RWD Title: Clean title, free and clear of all liens and salvage brands, is present Keys: Ignition, door, and trunk keys are present Restoration: Body-off, all components removed, serviced, and replaced when needed on this beautiful 1957 Ford Thunderbird. This is NOT a stock restoration. A handpicked team of professionals went through this car from one end to the other. Engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, wheels, stance, body, interior, electrical, and hardware have all received extensive attention. Everywhere you look, something has been restored, upgraded, modified, or replaced. Every nut and bolt has been touched. They didn't build them like this at the factory. FACTORY DATA PLATE VIN: C7FH293602 Body: 40 Color: EE Trim: XA Date: 20E Trans: 1 Axle: 2 The data plate identifies this Thunderbird as originally equipped with a C-code 292 CID Y-block V8 with a 2V carburetor, Colonial White body, Colonial White hardtop, Raven Black and Colonial White interior, 3-speed manual transmission, and a 3.56 rear axle. Scheduled production date was May 20, 1957. This car has obviously come a LONG way since May of 1957. CURRENT CONDITION Today, the Thunderbird wears a beautiful red exterior and presents as an extensively restored and modified custom build rather than a factory-correct restoration. Looks like a 4-barrel intake to me... Look under the hood. Look underneath it. Look at the suspension, drivetrain, brakes, wheels, hardware, and fabrication. Then look again. The amount of time, labor, parts, and money represented in this car is substantial. This isn't an old Thunderbird somebody threw a set of wheels on. This asset was built... Imagine if Alexander the Great built a chariot for Philip II... yeah, exactly like that... The engine bay is detailed, the mechanicals are crisp, and the car is ready to turn heads. Bid with confidence on a truly unique piece of modified American history. INSPECTION In-person inspection is strongly encouraged prior to bidding. This asset has been stored indoors every day of its restored life. It is currently, and will continue to be, stored in our secured, indoor storage facility since we were tasked with the final disposition of this amazing example of American craftsmanship. Vehicle is sold AS-IS in its present condition. No warranties expressed or implied. SHIPPING Buyer is responsible for pickup and transportation costs.
