    It just needs a paint job and take off that ground effects and you have a nice ride. I was impressed with that little 289, it had some pep to it's step! Cool ride!

    Nice car, 5 speed, working air, someone spent a bunch of money getting this car to this level. Nice to see a driver, rather than a trailer queen.Price is right!!!

    Looks like a nice 57 that has some easy removable mods if wanted to do so but how nice she would look with the rear skirts put back on her .

    Take the cragers and the side pipes and ground affects off and the fender skirts back on it would be nice.

    The 'chalk' is oxidation, the right cleaner, wax, buffage, it would sparkle again.

      100%agree .Plus it’s white which is easiest . Do by hand as do it yourselfers might damage it by machine compounding especially on edges and curves

  • @nickking1510
    @nickking1510 3 года назад

    The paint might be restorable with elbow grease and some polishing compound and then cleaner wax . I have restored many when I was a teen at small town gm dealership in the late1960ies. The chips and other paint issues I could easily repair and match . My only minor concern is what’s under the lower plastic . But my major concern would be a complete inspection of the frame and at $ 27000 it’s a must

    Nice T Bird, in spite of the paint flaws etc.and the price is right for a ‘57 T Bird.I prefer a stock look, but it would be easy to return it to that condition. Or, just drive it the way it is and enjoy it.When I was a kid, in the ‘60s, my neighbor’s grandma drive one in salmon pink. I thought it was pretty cool.
