1957 Ford Thunderbird Replica

Description

We dare you to tell the difference. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird replica looks correct in all the right places, but then you also get a lighter body, air conditioning, easily upgradeable V8, and a better suspension... and all of these improvements come at a seriously deep discount.

You know this iconic shape, and so does everyone else. This is a great tribute to an American classic that carries all the right elements. The wide front chrome bumper and mesh grille are a dead-on match, and the continental kit in the rear is something every Thunderbird fan loves. The glossy red paint has great shine, and it give a great two-tone effect when the white porthole hard top is in place (a white folding roof also comes with the car.) But this big red T-Bird doesn't just impress with its main features. Its authentic feel really comes from all the little details, including the hood scoop, chrome trim on the rear fender skirts, accent grille on the side, and large whitewalls with bright Thunderbird wire wheel covers. So it will be up to you to tell others that this is a replica. In fact, you might brag about it. After all, the fiberglass exterior means zero concerns about body corrosion.

Inside a red tuck-and-roll interior is exactly what you'd expect on a 50s icon. Just like the original Thunderbirds, this one has a great two-tone appearance that utilizes the exterior's red and white to inspire the seats and door panels. There's even the correct Thunderbird-style machine-turned panel that flows across that dash and onto both doors. But as you slip behind the wheel, you begin to notice some nice upgrades. It starts with the sporty small-diameter steering wheel. Beyond that are a full set of VDO gauges. But it's not just the driver that will be happy with this roadster. You and your passenger will enjoy features like the AM/FM/CD stereo and ice-cold air conditioning running modern R-134a for easier servicing.

Under the hood might just be your favorite upgrade. This T-Bird tribute has Ford's trusty 302 cubic-inch V8 in the engine bay. It not only looks great with the large air cleaner and flame job on the valve covers, but it also has some nice performance features like a four-barrel carburetor. If you feel like even more power, the 302 has one of the largest and most affordable performance parts catalogs out there. But really, a Thunderbird is about comfortable cruising. That's why this already has great long distance driving features like power steering, cruise control, three-speed automatic transmission, and front disc brakes. This one even rides down the road better than an original T-Bird thanks to an independent front suspension, a coilover rear, and a full service to all of this within the last couple of years.

This is the classic T-Bird design you love in an easier to maintain package that also comes with so many more modern conveniences. For those who love to drive their classics, this is the fearless vintage appearance that comes at a deep discount. Call today!!!
