OVERVIEW
This restored 1957 Ford Thunderbird has received several updates including Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, a rebuilt teapot carburetor, a new fuel tank, and a new exhaust system. It is powered by a rebuilt 292cid V8 backed by a rebuilt three-speed manual transmission. Features include rear wheel skirts, power steering, an AM/FM radio, and a dual-circuit master cylinder. Finished in Torch Red and equipped with a new white convertible top over a red and white vinyl interior, this Thunderbird comes from the selling dealer with a removable Colonial White hardtop and a clear title.

Originally finished in Willow Green (code J), the body was finished in Torch Red during the restoration process and is equipped with a new white convertible top. Features include chrome bumpers, a hood scoop, dual rearview mirrors, and rear wheel skirts. The selling dealer states the paint on the edge of the hood is chipped. A full walk-around video can be seen below.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels is wrapped in new Coker Classic whitewall radial tires.

A 140-mph speedometer, a 5,000-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 100,724 miles, which the dealer reports to be accurate.

@Ted79 – How is the electrical, lights, and gauges?? ...
Thanks for the question. All the lights and gauges are working. A new main headlamp switch installed last year as the dimmer was weak. High and low beams as well as parking lights all functional. The fuel and temperature gauges all work as does the tachometer. The clock is new, but intentionally disconnected to avoid running down the battery during storage. Oil and Generator “Idiot Lights” work as does the speedometer/odometer.

@Garypeebles – How old is the paint job? ...
Thanks for the question.. The car was painted about 10 years ago. Current owner has owned for 9 years and it was completed the year before he purchased .
@SpeedingBULLITT – Is there a reserve on this automobile and if so….what price? ...
It's an auction so yes there is a reserve. Disclosing that defeats the purpose of the auction so I can't disclose. Sorry.
