On offer here is one of the most stunning 1957 Ford Thunderbirds which money can buy. This car is is powered by the venerable 312 Cubic Inch V8 which is shifted through the correct "Ford-o-Matic" automatic transmission. The car is finished in the stunning color combination of Flame Red over red interior and features the iconic white porthole hardtop. The car was restored to concours standards in the late 90s and has held up perfectly ever since. The car presents as new and comes with a binder full of restoration pictures along with the original window sticker and service paperwork for the car! The bottom of the car is every bit as nice as the top.  Of most concern though, is the fact that this car is restored to Classic Thunderbird Club International (CTCI) concours standards and received a Gold award from them. The car also comes with a letter from CTCI elevating the car to "Senior Division" status.  

Overall, what you have here is a car which is restored the highest of levels in one of the best colors.  This car starts on the first try every time and all systems on the car work perfectly, even the clock! The car is as reliable as can be and would make for a fantastic show car or a  fun car to drive on special occasions. This car is not one of those trailered show cars which does not run well. While still a show car, everything on the car works and the car functions just as a 1957 Thunderbird would have in 1957. No excuses with this one. The finishes on the car are immaculate and the restoration has held up extremely well since the car was done.  If you are looking for a great 1957 Ford Thunderbird to add to your collection, you have just found it.  

Please note: as I was taking pictures of the engine compartment it did start to sprinkle very lightly. The little specs you see in the pictures are not chrome pitting or paint imperfections but merely a few sprinkles of rain.  As said before in the listing, the finishes on the car are all in fantastic condition.

The car is located in Overland Park, KS which is a suburb of Kansas City, KS. The car can be viewed on appointment and we encourage anyone interested in the car to please come see it. You will certainly not be disappointed! Please call Frank Thompson at 913 269 6513 with any questions about this fine 1957 Thunderbird.

Then they dive into the mailbag, answering questions and following up on the outcomes of previous "Spend My Money" segments. Finally they wrap things off with a new "Spend My Money," in which they help a listener pick a new car that will accommodate a new, tiny family member without sucking all the fun out of driving.

Bonhams to auction Carroll Shelby's prototypes and personal cars

Fri, Apr 6 2018

Fans of Carroll Shelby will want to make their way to Greenwich, Conn., this June, because Bonhams will be selling a great many cars from the man's personal collection. And many of them are the first of their kind, marking important milestones in Shelby's career. One of those important cars is a 1982 Dodge Charger prototype, which might not look as impressive as a Cobra, but it was important in that it was the first car on which Shelby collaborated with Chrysler. That car led to the first Shelby Charger, as well as other special small Chryslers including the GLH Omnis and Chargers (GLH standing for "Goes Like Hell"). In fact, the first Charger GLH-S (Goes Like Hell S'more) is also part of this collection. There are even some prototypes up for auction that never resulted in a production car, such as a Shelby modified Dodge Ram. That one is probably our favorite: the gold ram hood ornament, the huge pentastar in the grille, the double-barrel truck horn on the roof. It's wonderful nonsense. Of course it isn't just Chryslers going up for sale. There are a couple of GT500 and GT350 Mustangs in the mix from a variety of years. Perhaps most interesting is the very first Shelby Series I, Shelby's ill-fated roadster designed from the ground-up by the Texan's company. Unlike the other early Series I models, Shelby's had a supercharger, which led to a supercharger option being offered later. You can check out the full list of cars below, and pictures of each one in the gallery at the top. The auction will happen on June 3, and every vehicle offered has no reserve, so they'll all be sold for whatever price is shown at the drop of the gavel. 1927 Ford Model T 1931 Ford Model A 1935 Chrysler Airflow Sedan 1955 DeSoto Hard Top 1966 Shelby GT350 Convertible 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible 1968 Shelby GT350 1969 Shelby GT 500 previously owned by Jackie Cooper Jr. 1969 Shelby GT 500 1982 Shelby Charger Prototype 1983 De Tomaso Pantera 1983 Dodge/Shelby Pickup Concept 1987 DeTomaso GT5-S 1987 Dodge CSX Serial #1 1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S Serial #1 1987 Dodge Shelby Lancer Serial #1 1988 Dodge Shelby Dakota Prototype 1989 Dodge CSX VNT Serial #1 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Continuation 1999 Shelby Series 1 Serial #1 2008 Shelby GT 500 KR 2011 Shelby GT 500 Super Snake Aurora Race Car Related Video: Featured Gallery Shelby Collection View 72 Photos Image Credit: Bonhams Chrysler Dodge Ford Auctions Performance Classics shelby
