Description
This rare 1957 Thunderbird E-code features the highly desirable “E-bird” 312 cubic inch V8 engine, factory-equipped with dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, which set it apart as a performance-focused T-Bird. It’s rated at an impressive 270 horsepower, a rarity in ’57, making it a thrilling ride both then and now. The engine is paired with a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission, delivering a smooth yet responsive driving experience.
The car maintains its original 12-volt electrical system, and the chassis features independent front suspension with coil springs, as well as a rear leaf-spring suspension for stability and smooth handling. This T-Bird’s braking system includes factory drum brakes, which were standard in 1957, providing reliable stopping power. The radial tires are period-correct looking wide whitewalls that add authenticity to its classic style, while the wheels, though needing some detailing, are true to this model’s hi-end look.
The paint is true to its original two-tone scheme, capturing the sleek and iconic styling of the 2- seater Thunderbird’s final year in its first-generation design. This ’57 T-Bird is a high-value collectible, combining the powerful E-code performance with classic aesthetics, ready for restoration enthusiasts and collectors alike. This vehicle shows approximately 63,971 miles.
