Description
Step into a world where classic design meets modern power with this stunning 1957 Ford 300 Custom. This meticulously restored two-door beauty underwent a frame-off restoration in 1997, preserving its timeless appeal while infusing it with unrivaled performance. Finished in sleek Dupont Black Base Coat with a Clear Coat Chroma, this car exudes sophistication, complemented by its Sikkens Dark Gray Autobase trim and plaid seat inserts sourced from an ’88 Mustang. Every detail of the restoration was carefully executed to honor the car’s legacy while giving it a contemporary edge.
Beneath the hood lies the heart of a true muscle car—a powerful 1969 Boss 429 engine paired with a Top Loader 4-speed transmission. With special features like Crower Roller Cams, NOS NASCAR pistons, and a 2×4 intake, this engine delivers an exhilarating estimated 600+ horsepower. Its exhaust roars through MagnaFlow mufflers, while the Mallory Ignition System ensures peak performance. This unique powertrain originally came from a ’69 Boss Mustang, complete with the #233 stamped block, adding a rare and authentic touch to this exceptional build.
Enhanced with modern components such as Lincoln Versailles disc brakes, Goodyear Eagle tires, and a 3.70 Richmond rear axle, this ’57 Ford offers a smooth yet commanding ride. Whether cruising the streets or turning heads at shows, it embodies a perfect fusion of vintage charm and high-performance engineering. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this 1957 Ford 300 Custom is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of automotive history reimagined for the modern era.
