1LtCAP 4,264 Posted January 5, 2018 'cause she's a beauty! i've always liked the looks of the 57 fords.......they just have a kinda badass look to them. and in most cases they could back up those looks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-Ford-Sedan-Delivery/253342368937?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49454%26meid%3Dbc3a1dc40f414f85a1060b02b0cb71dc%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D253338828692&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A4c43cd38-f1d1-11e7-b5e7-74dbd18080da%7Cparentrq%3Ac4968c021600abc1f8aaa02cffe83ac3%7Ciid%3A1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67gtonut 847 Posted January 5, 2018 Not bad..... I question the quality of the bodywork/paint ..... couple of scary signs it was a quick scuff and paint.... Wheels and tires are awful ...... All in all...... solid cruise night car to have fun with the family with for a pretty reasonable cost, considering it is a 390 V8 car.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capt14k 2,052 Posted January 6, 2018 If you want to spend a lot more my father is about to sell his fully restored with soft top '57 Ford T-Bird. He also has the original hardtop that wasn't restored but didn't need it. He is the third owner. He has the original sales receipt and window sticker. The original buyer ordered it with both the soft top and hard top.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,264 Posted January 6, 2018 t-birds were never really my thing.........what i've really been trying to find is a 71 ford wagon. i learned to drive on a 67 stang and a 71 ranch wagon. the wagon was faster. i won many races with it that my grand parents never knew about. i just go and scan flebay every so often to see if i can find one. closest so far is a 73 ltd wagon in tenn.
