Titled 1963. Always garaged since acquired by second owner in 1971. Rust free frame, but rusted inner fender walls in engine compartment. Path panels applied to body which will need to be welded in. Floor panels already welded in. "C" model '57 T-Birds were sold primarily to Ford dealers as demo cars, always equipped in 3 speed only with a 292 C.I. engine and 2 BBL carburetor. Car will need a complete brake job. Engine runs out good. Interior is nice but used. Dash pad is solid gauges are there. Radiator date is September 1956 which 5 October 1956 build date. In my 50 years involved with 1957 Thunderbirds this is only the second factory Starmist Blue "C" T-Bird I am aware of as most were Colonial White with Black and White interior. It is also the earliest "C" model I've seen in my 50 years of Thunderbirding, by vin number as it was the 15 thousandth Ford product off the line. When it started up 1957 model cars, trucks, T-Birds in mid September 1956. The transmission "H" pattern is that of a "3 on the tree" Ford car or truck where 1st treasure are now top left and bottom left instead of the opposite. For T-Bird carburetor and manifold are one barrel instead of 2 barrel. This is an estate project car that is an excellent winter restoration project in a rare model and factory color.
