Only 4 F-series Supercharged 57 Ford sedans were made. This is a tribute to one of those rare hot rods! A supercharger and a 4-speed in a sleeper stripped down car is all about performance. From the estate of Wayne Blackwood. He was an avid Ford enthusiast owning Ford dealerships, racing Fords and driving, owning, building nothing but Fords! He built this car for himself, it was one of his keepers until he passed.
EXTERIOR: This black 2 door sedan is slick. The body is amazing. Black hides nothing, this one has nothing to hide. It is laser straight from every angle. Clean southern body, no rust or damage. The gaps are precise, doors shut like new. The paint is a mirror! You can read the phone book in the reflection. It has been painted several years, there are a few insignificant flaws. Door handles and mirrors look new. The stainless moldings and anodized inserts were all replaced. Bumpers and grill were rechromed. The window gaskets and fuzzy seals were replaced. The rims are painted, poverty caps look new. The radial tires still have nubs on the tread. New weatherstrips and windshield.
INTERIOR: The seats and door panels were replaced with correct reproduction. The window cranks and handles were replaced. The gray headliner, visors and welting were replaced. It has nice black carpet on the floor but the coolest part is the Hurst 4-speed shifter sticking out of the hump. The dash is original and overall good shape. It does have a vintage style tachometer on the column and 3 Stewart Warner gauges below the dash.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 312 was built with a 337 stroker kit engineered for this application with a Paxton Supercharger. The heads were ported and polished, a flow chart is included. It has a performance cam, flat top pistons, NOS lifters, billet crank, roller timing. New bearings, h-beam rods, ARP bolts. The supercharger is correct including the pully, brackets, blower case etc. The system has been rebuilt. The detailed engine specs are included. Upgraded dual reservoir brake master cylinder. Dressed up with Thunderbird Special finned valve covers. Upgraded Pertronix ignition. It features power steering. Updated with dual reservoir master cylinder. The wiring looks new, components are clean.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal painted black. There is sound deadener on the floor. New mat and weatherstrip. The spre is a whitewall tire on a painted rim.
UNDERSIDE: The front end was completely rebuilt. Brakes were rebuilt, upgraded with Wilwood disc in front. E-brake is hooked up. The dual exhaust has glass pack style mufflers. Floors and frame are clean. The bottom of the car is painted a satin black.
This is a unique car. Nobody expects to see the Paxton Supercharger under the hood. Great conversation starter.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year membership.

My dad had 1 of these. V8, 3 on the tree and overdrive. What a great car.
Looks like it came off the set of “Highway Patrol”! Very nice 👍🏼
What a find absolutely gorgeous old school Happy Days era car, what a cool setup supercharged four speed in a sleeper I can always tell when Jay gets excited about the car he's showing thanks!!
Beautiful car! I owned one back in the day, just like it. When cars were worth every penny and not the garbage that passes off today as an automobile.
Another fantastic find! I love tri 5 Chevy's but the cool factor and exclusivity of this rare car sure adds another dimension to that incredible time in automotive design. Throw in a sleeper look, great stance and a true WOW factor under the hood and you've wrangled another winner. Nice work! Cheers!
Probably my favorite car
Great machine Jay love these kinds of cars. Great sleeper grew up around these cars. Would take it in a heartbeat!!! Thanks for showing.
I owned a 1957 Ford Skyliner Retractable Hardtop while I was a Sophomore in High School in 1971 and sold it 14 years later in 1985. It had a custom installed rebuilt 390 Cubic Inch Ford Engine, Electric Fuel Pump, 4 Barrel Holly Carburetor, 4 Speed Transmission, American Mag 5 Spoke Wheels, Goodyear Polyglass Tires, Black Side Exhaust Pipes, Painted White with Black Interior.
'you could read the fine print on our contract in this finish' LOL
My brother in law's first car was a '57 Ford so he bought a '57 like this several months ago, a very nice super straight, no rust Arizona car, like new interior and underneath with nice paint, not show quality but good and who needs a supercharger with a '69- 428 Cobra Jet under the hood!
I had a 57 Ford Custom, 272Cid V8 put side pipes.. on it. Great car!
The black beauty strikes from the batcave 🦇 🦇 superb stunning gourgeus ford, thanks Jay grams president of volo auto museum 😊 😊
I bet this car does indeed have "some giddyup and go", being a supercharged stroker! Fantastic looking restoration on this car!
My 57 Ford 2-door was black but instead of Chrome it had gold and the interior was black and gold then I had a 312 board 60 over I put in the cam ported polished and relieved it had Mickey Thompson crate rods and pissed and kit and I sure had fun with that car!
I like the Grill off the 57 But the Tail Lights on the 58 Would have Worked Together 😊
If I were in the market today fir a car, this is one I would choose. Could I afford it. Well thats another question. It would be a daily driver for me. So beautiful !
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Dig it

His was a red/black 1958
Hay this is the first time Ive ever seen a 4 speed trans with an oil pan on it!! Then he gets inside the car and it looks like a 4 speed shifter. Two different cars or what's going on?

Kim, probably that magic number of 1hp. Per c.i.
Listed at $63,998. I was guessing $57,998.
Cool Spaghetti shifter
Does it have a 200 gallon tank under the back seat? This baby looks like the cars in the movie "Thunder Road" with the 'revenoors' chasing the bootleggers. Robert Mitchum not only starred in it but wrote and produced the movie....great old flick.
It's not a Fairlane. It's a Custom 300.

Correct dude!
Nice Ford! Did Ford have Chevy orange engines then?
Lieutenant Tragg!!! 😂😂😂
This doesn't look like a Fairlane to me. I would say it is a custom line 300. Amazing how some of these people selling these cars, don't even know what they really are !
