1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code (“E-Bird”)
Here is a genuine performance icon that seasoned collectors chase for years. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird wears the coveted E-code designation, powered by the legendary “E-Bird” 312 cubic-inch V8 fitted from the factory with dual Holley four-barrel carburetors and rated at an impressive 270 horsepower — a rare and thrilling specification in 1957. It still presents in its original two-tone paint scheme, capturing the sleek, unmistakable styling of the two-seater Thunderbird’s final year in first-generation form. Best of all, this is a documented, legitimate E-Bird: the original window sticker accompanies the car, confirming its authenticity and original colors. Solid, remarkably original, and rust-free, it runs, drives, and shows beautifully as-is, yet holds tremendous upside for the collector ready to bring it to its full potential.

From Grogan Classics: We have the original window sticker on this car and it is a legit E-Bird in its original colors.
Though it is running, driving & show-a-ble and nice as is, this car needs restoration to be brought to its full potential.
This Thunderbird has a removable hardtop and does not have a convertible soft top, but it can be added. It is a very original, solid & rust free real E-Bird!
