I have a 55 Fairlane with a " A " Sratched 428 P.I. and a 4 spreed Top loader that brutally quick. Experience tells me that 57 will hunt . Beautiful car
You betcha, I had a rust bucket 1955 and ford waited till 56 to go 12 volt. I almost left ford over that issue, but I really liked the 58 custom line with a post. My friend had his with a built 312 and two fours. His brother had a 57 and said he could keep up UNTIL that #2 four kicked in. That ford was really fast. But, he blew it up, over reving and it let go. I was in service and didn’t get it, he had sold it before I had dibs on it. Oh, the days.
Stock hood latch. That's how they worked. I had a 1957 Ranchero for years growing up. It had been my Grandfather's shop truck since it was brand new. Converted to electric wipers is a must because dual diaphragm fuel pumps are hard to get. Mine had a 312 Thunderbird Special under the hood, three on the tree w/overdrive.
I had one exactly like this when I was 17 in 1962. It was navy blue and had a large THunderbird engine. It was used when I bought it with 60 thousand miles on it. It was immaculate. And I paid $700.00 for it. It was beautiful and was a chick magnet. Best looking car I ever owned and drove and I could maintain engine myself. I would give anything to have my original back. Wished I had just parked it in a barn somewhere. Drove i TV 3 years and it ran like a dream. Onnly got $300.00 for it when I traded it in on a 1959 Chevy Impala. But it by far was the best looking and driving car I,ve ever owned. God, your video makes me cry.
I had one in high school in 1963. My very first vehicle. My dad bought it for $350. Needed a dash board and we got one at the junk yard for $50 and installed it in the driveway. Screwed up the directional signals and left turn signal was the oil light. But it was a hot car then. Wow, if I only had it now,
The 1955/56 Fords were such a dramatic styling change from what went before, and then the 1957 Fords were another dramatic styling change- my family had one of each, a 1954 Ranch Wagon, a '56 Fairlane sedan, and a 1957 Country Squire. …..
When I was 7 years old, I knelt next to a 57 Fairlane to peer inside, and cut my knee open on a broken bottle, I had to get 7 stitches in my knee to close it up, by the way it was my first grade teachers car, so being nosey I had to check it out.
I remember going with my dad when he bought a car just like this same color and it still had that new car smell it had the 292 v-8 automatic. I was around seven years old at the time must have been about 1959 or 1960 brings back a lot of memories, Thanks
In my younger days drag racing in the early 60's there was a 57 Fairlane running stock class with a 292 and factory installed Paxton super charger. No other stock vehicles had a chance against it. They won every week. I really expected to see this combination under the hood. Beautiful car. Enjoyed the video.
The 57 Ford Custom 500 was my first car, with the 292 V8 and three on the column . I loved it even though it was not new. I got it used in 1962 with 50 k miles on it. 1962 an 63 were spent fixing all its faults starting with new tires , leaky radiator, rear main bearing seal repair, generator, brakes and a new interior. When I was done it was a nice car and I gave it a new paint job at Earl Sheibs any car 29.95, however I went for the top of the line paint service. I kept it the next few years and ran it at ATCO Drag way a few times. Most of the time I sepnt cruising and keeping it up.
I fixed mine up to like new condition in 62. Then I went in the army. When I got out I bought the 1964 Ford Mustang with the cash I got for my 57 ford. If I hade my druthers, Id druther have the 57 Fairlane once again.
My parents bought a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 in 1957 in Belaire MD. Ours was grey. The inside was the same. We took it to Germany when I was eight. It is beautiful.❤
I have a nice '57 Ford B300. It is the unusual short-wheelbase model. The hood safety catch is a factory item. Mine has a high performance 351 Windsor engine and it has the stock chrome valve covers and not some aftermarket 'Shelby' covers.
When I lived in Rhode Island years ago a guy that i was friendly with named Mark had one of those same color combo outside but more red inside, 3 on the tree and he put a 427 under the hood, that car screwed. He also had a 1964 Galaxy station wagon that was a California highway patrol car with a 427 under the hood, i bought a 1964 Fairlane 2 door black interior with buckets and a 260 V 8 under the hood from him. Talk about owning some nice cars. I don't know if he is still alive but I was about 42 then and I am 60 now he was probably 15 years older than me. Great Memories
@@walnutmanor Ford sold aftermarket cross bolt blocks that were 390 bore that actually could be bored to 427. Had one as a 390 in Starliner. Shifter says TREMEC. WOW.
@@darrellepickering8433 Yep. This one had a 292 according to the VIN. Around 210 HP. The 312 4 bbl was 245 HP, 2 fours was around 275 HP, then the SC at 300 HP. They had a NASCAR cam available for the SC that would bump it to somewhere around 340 HP, not sure the exact figure. The current engine is a much better unit than the original. That is one beautiful car.
Thats actually a really easy swap to do. The FE engine which is what that 427 is was an option in 58' as ford's 352 cubic inch "police interceptor" engine, the two years use identical frames. Now I would like to know where they got the headers....my 58 Fairlane 500 could use a set to get rid of the log manifolds on my 352.
The FE started out as a 332 which in 1958 both engines were available and my grampa had both engines in his cop car and he said the 332 police Interceptor was a more hotter engine then the 352. His cop car was also a 2 door Fairlane 500 2 door post which he still had the spot light. My dad has Gramps's 58 and had a 58 2 door Hardtop.
Having owned a purchased '57 Ford convertible (yep, I'm THAT old) with a 312cid T-Bird special engine still love the looks since it was a one year body style tho the '58 was kinda close. I could find a home for that car but my wallet is a bit thin, having a '31 Ford street rod roadster with all the good HiPo stuff (100% Ford) using whatever is left after food and my home costs. Sigh! It sucks to get old!
Nice car and worth a bunch. I had a 57 Ford Courier. That is a very rare sedan delivery with a one piece 3 window tailgate that swung up. I only saw one other in my life. I installed a built 428 dual quad, 4 speed and 4.11 Detroit Locker nodular. I miss it.
I have a 1957 Ford Custom 2 doors sedan with a Ford de-stroked 427 engine and large input shaft Ford top-loader 4 speed transmission. It's street legal, built in 1969. It set 3 NHRA national records, won 3 national championships. I still own the car and its last win was in June 2023 NHRA national event in NH. 9.86 ET. Still the same engine since 1969.
I had a '57 Ford Fairlane 500 2 dr hardtop in college in 1965. Mine was tutone white/grey. It had the 292-4 and ran like a rat in a cage. 2 years later traded it in for a '67 mustang when I got my first full time job.
Fabulous car however if I remember correctly the old cars only went to 100 thousand miles on the odometer then started over from zero . Man I’d liked to had this car back in ‘69
I don't think the 57 fords came with a floor shift. The shifter handle has Tremec stamped on it, so prolly a Tremec 5 speed overdrive conversion. With the 5 speed and 427 engine, this is a very special 57 Ford.
Beautiful! My Grandpa had a 57 Custom model, 2 tone blue & white, 6 cylinder manual 3 on the tree! The Fairlane models were much better, as his was a total rust bucket after 9 years!
note one of the very rare 57 ford's that has a single plate across the heater/radio/clock horizontal lines. most have lines are vertical. check me there. I wish I had it
"57 Fords did not have a 4-speed transmission, only three on the tree was available, (plus an automatic) and the biggest optional engine was a "Thunderbird" 312 cu in.
My Dad had a 57 version that was the medium green, where this one is red. It was supposed to have been for the state law enforcement, they didn't take it. The salesman called my Dad, and asked if he wanted it. He said, sure. Police Interceptor engine with two 4-bbl carbs. His next car after that one, was a baby blue, with white top, 1960 Starliner, with the 390 engine. That one, I remember. I only vaguely remember the 57 Ford, since I was 4, or 5. My Aunt had the yellow version of that 57. When I was high-school, she had a bright red Olds 442 Cutlass.. snazzy Aunt.. :-) When I went to visit, she would toss me the keys.
Most people don't know that the 57 and 58 has the same speedometer. Look at it, it starts the numbers at but there are two marks before the 10 which is 5 and 0 now count from 0 you will come to 120,125, 130 , I had 58 when I was 18 Iam now 73.
My '57 has a 390fe engine I put air conditioning had put on power steering front disk brakes, positive track limited slip differential, power steering, O2sensor to correctly jet new holly demon carb. a tachometer has nice mags maroon and pearlized white paint. Still need to rerubber door windows.
The 427 Shelby engine, WOW. I wish you would have uncovered the whole thing. That ranks right up there with Holman Moody and Roush. Any stats you can give us on the engine, horse power, availability etc., let us know. Was that engine taken from a Shelby Mustang, or purchased from Shelby?
Just a thaught i bought a convertible 57 ford conv. For 250$ running but rough in the 80s sold it for1000$ yr later after doing body and paint work bought a 66t bird conv. W the money still have it
Well Christmas came early whoever wins that gorgeous 57 Ford 500 upgrade under hood I know it's not going cheap price coming from Copart but she is eye catching beauty.
Noticing that they never say where the car is or if there is any supporting documentation to prove what is under the hood, without that it's a plain Jane 57 Ford 500 that looks nice , but for the big money to happen in the sale they will need proof not just good intentions. Any charity organizations could have sold the car, why did it end up at copart out in the yard where it could be damaged if it's worth so much, kinda of a bad showing.
