OVERVIEW
This restored 1957 Ford Thunderbird is powered by a reportedly numbers-matching, rebuilt 292ci V8 backed by a rebuilt three-speed manual transmission with a newer clutch. Features include a matching removable hardtop, a newer soft top, a rebuilt AM/FM radio with an internal amplifier, and several newer parts. Finished in Colonial White over a black and white vinyl interior, this first-generation Thunderbird is available now and comes with an affidavit of ownership from the original owner, an owner's manual, a service manual, a car cover, and a clear Ohio title.
EXTERIOR - FEATURES
Originally finished in Thunderbird Bronze (code Q) and equipped with a Colonial White hard top (code E), this car and its original hardtop were repainted Colonial White during the frame-on restoration completed in the early 1990s. Features include chrome bumpers, a hood scoop, side fresh air intakes, color-keyed rear wheel skirts with stone guards, and a fender-mounted antenna. The seller states that the soft top was replaced in 2020.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of 14-inch black steel wheels with full hub caps is wrapped in 205/75 BFGoodrich Silvertown radial whitewall tires.
INTERIOR - FEATURES
The seller states that the interior is original. Features include a black and white vinyl bench seat; a floor-mounted manual shifter; manual windows, steering, and brakes; a rebuilt radio converted to accept FM signal and equipped with an internal amplifier; and a black padded dashboard.
INTERIOR - GAUGES
A 140-mph speedometer, a 5K-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level and temperature are located ahead of the driver. A non-tachometer drive distributor has been installed and the factory tachometer is currently not working. According to the seller, all gauges have been cleaned and rebuilt. The odometer reads 34,092 miles, which the seller believes to be accurate.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Power is provided by a reportedly numbers-matching, rebuilt 292ci V8 and backed by a rebuilt three-speed manual transmission equipped with a clutch that was replaced in 2021. During the restoration, all underhood sheet metal was refinished in Colonial White. Features include polished cast aluminum valve covers, an upgraded non-original carburetor, a correct air cleaner housing with a chrome lid, and an Optima Redtop battery. An alternator has been installed and the steering box has been rebuilt. The seller states that this car received a complete service six months ago that included the replacement of light bulbs, seals, and transmission seals.
UNDERCARRIAGE
This Thunderbird was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by manual four-wheel drums. The suspension has been upgraded with adjustable-height rear shocks. The exhaust was replaced and new brake system hardware was installed in 2018.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
This Thunderbird was previously sold on AutoHunter, but it is being relisted after the buyer backed out of the transaction through no fault of the seller. The seller will include an affidavit of ownership from the original owner, an owner's manual, a service manual, and a car cover as part of the sale.

@vtltudor – What you are seeing is tar on the rear fender. They recently re-paved our street. The paint is in good condition. The hardtop matches the car in colonial white. It is stored professionally in Columbus Ohio. I’ll add pictures of the top in crate. The soft top is less than two years old and is a premium Haartz top. Off white with camel felt interior. ...
