Rare 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code, frame off restored and painted in Raven Black with matching black and white interior and black hard top.  One of only 1443 built and one of only 280 with over drive and a rare T-85 three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This rare E-Code Thunderbird received a frame-off restoration 8 years ago and has been driven less than 400 miles since. The original 312/270hp E-Code engine was rebuilt by a Ronnie Groff, a professional Thunderbird engine builder in San Antonio Texas and topped off with correct dual quad Holley carburetors and "Sure Swift" power brakes. Even the factory Town & Country radio was rebuilt and upgraded with blue tooth technology added and the clock has been rebuilt as well.  The car comes with a rare port hole delete hard top and a full tonneau cover. Sorry no cumbersome soft top to drag out behind the seats and scratch the car. This beautiful E Bird is rolling on correct Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and Firestone wide whites for that factory correct look.
