1957 Ford Fairlane 500

Here is your chance to own a true piece of history! Without paying high end fees, do your research, cars like this are only offered at exclusive auctions.

What we have is a 57 Fairlane 500 * All over nice body, this is not restored to pristine condition * Decals are stickers, applied professionally * Headliner is missing, look at interior pieces close * This is how it was built in the late 50’s.

The gentleman that was responsible for putting this car back into its original condition is a lifelong friend of mine * He was close with Don Rice and remembers working on this car while it was being raced * He put a lot of effort into making this car the “REAL DEAL”

The motor is an “F” CODE Thunderbird motor that was purchased new by the legendary Don Rice * Please note Mr. Rice purchased a new TBird in 57 specifically for the motor with the intentions of making a race car * This is a factory McCulluch Supercharger (pre Paxton) * It is correct to the year/car the supercharger is not a reman

White Lightning frequented Mason Dixon and York 30 Dragway * Setting NHRA records with ET and MPH * All trophies were won by this car

This car was featured at 2017 Carlisle Ford National E & F Code Reunion

All trophies, helmet and jacket do go with the car

The car runs and drives like a 1957 drag car * It wants to go * It does not like idle * It is set up exactly as it was when racing

All information has been passed down from Don Rice’s personal friend to us * The only reason we are selling this car is because we would love to see it on display somewhere * This car got a lot of attention at Carlisle, we feel it would better put on display or museum, rather than our personal collection
