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 isnt 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.
