Equipment
D-Code 312/245hp with dealer installed dual quads, automatic, soft top and porthole hardtop, power brakes and steering, dual exhaust, power windows, back up lights, signal seeking radio, engine dress up option.
Condition
The paint is excellent, as are the panel gaps. The chrome is excellent and the stainless trim was well polished. Excellent nearly show quality engine bay and underbody for the most part, but the rear springs look like refinished originals. The interior is show quality. A perfect and show-ready fresh Amos Minter restoration.
Market commentary
Gunmetal is absolutely the best color for '57 Thunderbirds, complementing the lines and surfaces. And a red interior doesn't hurt. Minter's T-birds always get an enthusiastic reception at Barrett-Jackson, and this is no exception, earning a premium of at least 25%.
