It is being offered locally so I reserve the right to end the auction if I get the price from a local sale.. 1957 (reproduction) Thunderbird OUR HISTORY of Ownership: We purchased it in 2011 from a man and his daughter from Grand Prairie, Texas. It has a 100% legal clear clean Kansas Title, it runs, it drives, it brakes, it steers, the transmission works just fine, the main body, hood, trunk deck lid, fenders, doors, removable port window top are all made of fiberglass, the bumpers and grill are metal. It has many newer parts, it was originally manufactured in 1988 but, I honestly have no idea of the company that manufactured it. We are selling it because we too many other projects and are running out of space to keep it. First, I AM NOT a mechanic, and it is NOT a PERFECT show car (a perfect show car will easily cost you at least 10X what I am asking). Second, it impossible to mention everything (I may have missed some items) but here are SOME of the known issues that I am aware of: Needs a tune-up Needs a paint job or buffed out as it is dull/faded Has one small nick/chip on the rear driver’s side rear fin Has a chip on passenger side front turn signal lens Needs hood latch as it has none now Doors and trunk lid close and latch but may need slight adjustment to be perfect Needs new shock absorbers/struts or whatever (rides like a lumber wagon) The speedometer needs repair/replacement The muffler needs replacement because it is loud It needs a headliner because it has none now Rear post mounts needed to attach/secure & lock down the removable port window hardtop Needs window shield wipers and wind shield wiper motor repair Has an air conditioner that is not hooked up or working to my knowledge Front and rear bumpers as well as the front grill have surface rust and need to be re-chromed Needs rear window glass, side window glass (both driver and passenger sides) as it has none now Needs inside door opening handles, inside door locks and inside window crank handles it has none now A local mechanic here in Topeka (where the car is located) informed me: 67-68, 289 C-4 Auto (but another mechanic who claims to have worked for Ford told me it was a 302 I am not a mechanic so I don't know) also.............. 74-78 Mustang II Front end, and looks to be mustang drivetrain, Mustang II suspension But the good news is that during our ownership we have done the following................... March 16, 2012 Installed Carburetor Installed Fuel Filter Installed Fitting Installed Carb Gasket Installed Choke Cable March 12, 2014 Installed Starter Installed Battery Cables March 13, 2014 Installed Solenoid March 15, 2014 Installed Voltage Regulator March 15, 2014 Installed Alternator Installed Alternator Capacitor October 2015 Vent aligned the gas tank to fill to top capacity Has newer battery, and the tires are in good tread condition. With some elbow grease, some work and some MORE money it will be AWESOME!!!!
