55-57 T-bird Gasser and Altered pics?

I'm looking for some pics of 55-57 T-bird gassers and altereds for a project I may become involved in if I can get the owner modivated enough for something like that. I've seen lots of Vettes, but don't recall ever seeing any T-birds. Thanks in advance.

 

off here.

 

Not exactly what your looking for but this was at the 1964 Detroit Autorama,..

Billy Coon of Romulis Mi. ran a "BAD" 57 bird with a 427 Side oiler in it , in the day,... he won his class at the 69 summernationals,..... (this ain't the car)

 

Here's my friend Toms..

I'm building one in scale with a blown 427 side-oiler... will be watching this thread with interest.

 

From my site:

Lonnie Sargent has a 55 little bird old gasser big slicks straight axle and a blown 427 sohc 4 speed. been setting in his shop for years i worked for him 12 years ago next time i stop to visit I'll get some photo's.

 

Salty's Shaker. Now fully restored.

 

Check out the Rodders Journal t-shirt collection. There's one with a T-bird gasser that ROCKS!!!!!!!!

 

COOL model! You need one of those resin teardrop hoods from eBay.

Here's the old Kenz-Leslie tuned '57 from Denver:

 

Always Loved the 55-57 Birds as Gassers..Thats the only way I would ever drive one..There was one locally at Fremont dragstrip and Sears point that ran a 427 with 2x4's Radiused fender wells..ran in the 11's

 

I believe that car had a 427 L88 Chevy

 

That was probably another one..this guy was an All Ford guy and lived in Belmont,Ca.I think the car was metalflake Green if I remember right

 

Stopped by Lonnie Sargents shop last weekend, got this photo, talked with Lonnie said he was going to put the car back together and race it again.

 

wow !

 

here,s one that was at the old time drags in e-town

 

Now thats Kick Ass!! A Cammer in a 55-57 Bird

 

I'm surprised there aren't more of these.

 

If I recall correctly, Bill Coons car eventually had a 427 SOHC.

 

Hey guys, more of a lurker here than a poster but have followed this thread for a few years and had some really good ideas from the white gasser bird. Heres a few of our just finished Gasser Bird. I usually don't build em this shiny, but it was a nice change of pace.

 

I LOVE THIS CAR. I REMEBER SEE IT AT A KID IN THE 70'S IN PASSAIC. I seen it again last year restored at the Whiskey Cafe.

 

Great looking early Bird.

It's a credit to you.

here,s a couple pictures at the whiskey a great car with some history maybe someone knows the all story on it?

 

Big Block chevy powered !

 

You guys are gonna hate me, but I know there's a good story on Salty's Shaker, but I can't remember it! (hazzard of the job I guess... I come across a LOT of good cars, and better stories with them). I talked to the owner of it for about an hour and a half a couple years ago at the York Reunion show.

BBC powered, like Racemad said. That's the way it was run.
