Ford built roughly 21,000 two-seat Thunderbirds for 1957, and only a couple hundred of them left the factory with the supercharged F-code 312. This one is not that car.

Read on for what made the 1957 Thunderbird the best of the two-seaters and how this build chases the same idea by a different route.
