This T-Bird has a fantastic story to tell: the seller's neighbor bought it back in 1963, and after admiring it for 50+ years the seller was finally able to acquire it from him in 2018. In addition to the remarkably long ownership history, this car is presented with a file of service and maintenance records dating back to 1976! 1957 was the final model-year for the first-generation Thunderbird, and is easily recognizable, particularly with the included factory "porthole" hard top. The winner of this auction is sure to stand out from the crowd at their local cars and coffee!

Included documentation shows the transmission was rebuilt in 1977, and the seller reports the drivetrain is likely numbers-matching though not confirmed.
