California Car - Thunderbird 312 V8

This Cool Classic Ford Fairlane has SOLD

1957 Fairlane Sunliner 500 Convertible for sale

Restored in 1990 with only 1700 miles put on it since. Features the rare Lifeguard Package with padded dash and visors. Also has power steering and power brakes.

The body is rust free along with the rockers and trunk. It has a little floor rust in the rear foot well areas that looks to be easily repairable. (see slide-show area for close-ups). The paint appears to be a lacquer repaint of the original black. We believe that the Thunderbird 312 V8 drive train was rebuilt.

It runs extremely well, starts easily and has plenty of power. The transmission shifts at all the prescribed shift points. The power brakes stop the car with ease. The power steering works as it should. The odometer, speedometer, horn are all in working order. The clock does not work and the gas gauge is inaccurate. (Needs a new sending unit).

The convertible top works perfectly (see video section to see it operate). The interior is quite nice and includes period front seat belts. After 17 years, this car still looks fabulous and drives beautifully due to its low, low miles.

This is a great opportunity to own a beautiful, rare Sunliner in the best possible color combination. It comes with a clear California title and is ready to enjoy now!
