FOR SALE: 1957 FORD FAIRLANE SKYLINNER HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE.
A Classic Restoration Project with Potential
This 1957 Ford Fairlane Skyliner is an opportunity to breathe new life into a piece of American automotive history. As a project car from Arizona, it's the perfect old-school candidate for a full restoration, offering the chance to create a stunning blend of classic style and modern performance.
The Skyliner�s claim to fame is its innovative retractable hardtop, a marvel of 1950s engineering that still functions in this example. Paired with the power windows, the original features of this car provide a solid foundation for a high-end restoration.
Under the hood, the 312 V8 engine has received a fresh tune-up, and key components like the water pump, fuel pump, and power steering hoses have all been replaced. The 3-speed automatic transmission offers smooth driving, while the new brakes and drums ensure safety. The car now sits on fresh whitewall tires, ready to roll. The rebuilt carburetor ensures that once this beauty is fully restored, it will be ready to deliver the performance it was designed for.
With just 53,654 miles on the odometer, this Fairlane has plenty of life left, making it an even more attractive candidate for a restoration project.
The bodywork presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The front fenders are new, and the doors are in decent shape, but the quarter panels will need to be replaced�a task made easier by the availability of replacement parts. Included with the sale are two chrome spotlights a new valance panel that fits beneath the grille, and chrome moldings to add that perfect finishing touch for a frame-off restoration.
Inside, the car tells a story of its past, with an interior that�s mostly intact but in need of some attention. The passenger seat will require reupholstering, but overall, the cabin offers a glimpse of what could be, with the right amount of care and creativity.
Also included are a shop manual, parts catalog, and other books�essential resources for anyone looking to bring this classic back to its former glory.
This 1957 Ford Fairlane Skyliner is not just a restoration project; it�s a canvas for your automotive vision. Whether you're looking to create a show-stopping Resto-mod or simply want to preserve a piece of history, this Skyliner is your chance to build something truly special. Don�t miss out on the potential to transform this classic into a head-turner that will commands attention wherever she goes.
