Had to get Teri a personalized plate of course.."REDL8DY" was the closest available...
Story is same family from new till last year, stored for years. current owner bought it on "non op" status from them, and repaired as needed but never registered it. Doing some research on the numbers has it as a late model 57 hence the color combination. 35K was my max and I got it for under that, seems like a real score....I can't even afford that right now, but I'm an idiot, what else can I say....

Slater, you'll love this..the tires were new in 1981....

You don't usually see these on Ebay at "No Reserve" as this one was, and the higher dollar cars are usually due to the type of restoration involved and equipment (dual quads, electric windows, air etc). This one had a repaint and some other restoration stuff done but not a whole bunch, I am told it is mostly original, so I assume not a whole bunch of money was spent on it....
Haven't seen the car yet, and you know how pic's can hide flaws, sure hope I'm not disappointed...He said the pic's were taken last week....
Here is the story from the owner in Ebay....

Here is a magnificent and stunning 1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible with only 46,501 original miles offered at NO RESERVE.It is a one family owned car since 1957.The car was bought new in Riverside,California.The car was driven regularly until 1981 and stored inside from there after.The car was driven once a week to make sure it was kept up mechanically,so it does not have any typical problems cars get when they sit to long when not driven.The car was taken out of long storage about 3 years ago and had some cosmetic upgrades done to put it back to beautiful original condition.The paint was redone professionally over the original paint.This is a factory original Red/Red car .The car is Flame Red with Red hardtop("VV"code).The car has no rust.The original damage-free body with factory un-hit front end that still has all the original pinch welds everywhere.The body is one of the finest original untouched and unmolested cars you will find amongst the vintage Thunderbirds.The car fits together perfectly.The Red paint was done to factory specification and is just breathtaking.The car has virtually no dings,sctaches,or blemishes.You will get compliments anywhere you go!Most of the chrome is still all original and in excellent garaged-kept condition.The beautiful original front and rear bumpers fit together perfectly.They don't have any typical tilting or misaligned fitting.The engine compartment is full detailed and is just stunning.The trunk compartment is also fully detailed with the correct trunk plaid,spare tire,and jack.The Red interior("XH"code) is immaculate.The seats,door panels,and carpet are brand new with perfect reproduction parts.The very nice dash pad is still original as well as all the chrome and aluminum.Everything functions great on the car including all the gauges and original town and country radio.As you can see in the photos,the weatherstripping and rubbers are in superb condition.The car runs and drive beautifully.There are no oil,transmission,or fluid leaks.The car does not smoke at all.The car drives down the highway with simple ease.The steering and brakes are in excellent condition.The car can be driven anywhere you want to go.The car does have the correct wide white wall tires including the spare.Here is a great opportunity to relive 1957 all over again.The car is immaculate throughout and has one of the best original virgin body of this vintage.If you are in the market for one of the most sought after classic that is just in amazing condition,please don't miss out beacause it is offered at NO RESERVE.
