      I like restomods & restorations too.This is done to Buckys taste not so much mine but well done.I don't like when they paint over the chrome though.

      Quagmire Davis, BINGO, they ruined this car and it's now FUGLY disgraceful. Less than 2000 still exist today. Only 4 with the supercharged 312 engine and 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. To put this car back to correct restoration condition, it would cost more than it would be worth when completed. Bucky Dent was good in MLB but not overly bright about classic/vintage vehicles.

    He build it for his late wife, then I bet he promptly sent it to Barrett Jackson lol. Not sure but I doubt he still has it, if so then I stand corrected.

    A fully correctly restored '57 Thunderbird is worth over $100,000. Minimum $45k as a restored street driven car.

      Yeah I have watched his series when it was on cable. Knows how to make money, but does not know much about cars. He once stated that a 289 Studebaker was the same as a Mustang 289. He probably does not know which side of a screwdriver to hold.
