Condition

Freshly restored and showing only 26 test miles. Gorgeous show quality everything from top to bottom, but there are two big chips on the painted air cleaner.
Market commentary
Many collectors prefer brighter Fifties colors for their '57 T-birds but Gunmetal is one of the most attractive and highlights the lines of the car. This T-bird has everything, even the high compression engine with 15 more horses, and is in exquisite freshly restored condition. The reported high bid here means nothing except that there were no deep pocketed '57 T-bird collectors in the room and Mecum shooed it off the block when there was no real interest.
