There are very, very few of these classic 'E code' Thunderbirds around for the serious Blue Oval loyalist and this car deserves your scrutiny. The T'Bird chassis is equipped with power steering and power drum brakes. One of the features of the car was the 'Engine Dress-up Kit' with chrome accents. The owner states that the Y-block has not required a rebuild and it sounds strong. This engine was factory rated at 270hp and is backed by Ford's time-honored 2-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission. Horsepower is provided by an 'E code' Thunderbird 312ci engine fitted with dual Holley 4000 'T-pot' 4-barrel carbs, each said to flow 330cfm for a total of 660cfm. There is also an AM radio, but it is currently inoperable. All '57 Thunderbirds are equipped with an adjustable telescopic steering column, but most seem to be somewhat hesitant to co-operate as they age. The interior has been reupholstered in white vinyl and includes the factory restyled '57 instrument cluster with round gauges. A white 'porthole' hardtop is in very good condition (no soft top). ![]() Classic accents include rear fender skirts and BFGoodrich wide-white radial tires mounted on color-matched 14” steel wheels w/factory 'Sunburst' wheel covers. It looks very distinguished in a careful respray of the White finish (1980) that is very good condition. This partially restored T'bird has been in the same family for over 50 years. It presented a new front fascia, new rear taillight/fin design and features from the previous year including a 12-volt electrical system, deep-dish 'safety' steering wheel and removable hardtop. The 1957 Thunderbird, in its third model year, set a sales record with over 21,000 cars sold. The Thunderbird was introduced as a sporty competitor to the Corvette and many say that the T'bird actually saved the 'Vette from extinction. This 1957 Thunderbird is a rare 'E code' (2x4 intake) example of the iconic Ford roadster. ![]()
