1957 Ford Custom 300 Muscle Machine "700 Proof"

A 1957 Ford Custom 300 Muscle Machine "700 Proof"....A good Friend of mine is a BIG Ford fan....He has nothing but Fords in his collection....In this video he unveils his latest build "700 Proof"...The name comes from the fact he wanted to build a Old School Moonshine runner....And than he put a supercharged 4.6L under the hood...It puts 700 HP to the real wheels...That's not the only cool things about this ride...Make sure you see what Steve Holcomb did for interior....Very nice build ..... Check it out!!!...For more cool videos please visit www.scottiedtv.com The Coolest Cars On The Web!!!!

There was a great movie made in '58 starring Robert Mitchum about shine-runners called "Thunder Road." One of Mitchum's cars in the movie was a hopped up '57 Ford. Good stuff.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Thunder Road was a '57 Ford Fairlane 500.

[@durandjohnson1321]

In the movie.. he also had a hot rod suped up '50 Ford.. love that movie!

That's probably the nicest 57 Fords I've ever seen. Totally love everything about it ! Thanks Scotty

[@ScottieDTV]

You're welcome Brother...Glad You enjoyed it!!

[@mdogg1604]

You guys took one of the most beautifully styled cars of the '50's and brought it into the 21st century. All your modifications look and function so well together. Wish the factory would offer one of these! I love it!

I would take the 57 Fairlane over a 57 Belair anyday!

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@jeremythompson9122]

Me too. I like the lower trim level 57 Ford's like the Custom and 300 series better than the more upscale Fairlane's. They had cleaner styling than the Fairlane in my opinion

I loved my 57 Ford Fairlane 500. I bought it when I was 15 and restored it, and took my driver's exam in it. The guy from the DMV said it was a first for him and he'd been doing it for 25 years.

[@dustbat]

I had this type Ford while in USAF back in the 60's. Never had a vision like this. The hood scoop is perfect. When I first saw it, I thought, oh crap. Often that just looks stupid and bolt on. This one looks like it was stamped out at the factory. Nice car!

[@jeremythompson9122]

I'm a Mopar guy but I love the 57 Ford's...especially the factory supercharged versions. Most of the supercharged 312's ended up in T-Bird's and Fairlane/Custom 2 door sedans. But there was even 2 supercharged Ranchero's and 1 supercharged 4 door Fairlane(which was originally ordered by a North Carolina moonshiner) that were built. I think there was only a total of like 50 of those supercharged 312 Ford engines built in 57. They were Ford's first true muscle car. Ford rated them at 300 horsepower but theyre rumored to make 340 horsepower...more than a 64 GTO with a 389 4 barrel. Really the 55 Chrysler 300 was the very first muscle car in my opinion. The Chrysler 300's dominated NASCAR in 1955-56 and the supercharged Ford's dominated in 57 until Chevy cried and got the blown Ford engines banned mid season. Several very good performing cars came out in 1957 from all different manufacturers... Fuel injected and dual quad 283 Chevy's, Injected or Tri Power 347 Pontiac's and 371 Oldsmobile's, Supercharged 312 Fords, Hemi powered Chrysler 300's, Dodge D-500's, and DeSoto Adventurers, and the Plymouth Fury with the 290 hp dual quad 318 or the 305 hp 350 Golden Commando engine. These cars were all really the original muscle cars. 1955-1970 is definitely the best era ever for cars. The compression and power numbers started to fall off some in about 1971-1972 because of emissions regulations and muscle cars were totally gone by 1975...when catalytic converters hit the scene. Leave it to the feds to fuck up the muscle car era just like everything else they touch

I had a 57 Ford Skyliner Retractable Hardtop with a 390 Ford 4 Speed Manual out of a early 60's Ford Galaxie 500, White in color, when I was in High School, 1971-73 and sold it in 1985. The 57 Skyliner was the best looking year compared to the 58 or 59. I generally left the top up because I did not have a garage and was concerned that the top could get stuck in the down or mid way position.

What a lot of people don't know is,the 57 Ford outsold the 57 Chevy if you look at the numbers.The problem was one of the bodies would rust and that's why you don't see as many but the retractables bring big bucks.

[@darthvader_345]

I agree with you Scottie... you don't see too many of these 56 and 57 Fords because the Bel Airs from 55-57 are the most popular ones... but this is one gorgeous car and it has become my favorite car...

This car is really cool. Its nice to see someone start with something different,. The car is 'finished', and doesn't look 'patchy', meaning some areas look un-done. Look at the engine and the engine compartment, just awesome! The choice of wheels is also really neat following the 'moonshine runner' theme. It appears to have a standard trans, right? Must be fun to drive with that kind of HP! Really nice, good edition to your 'herd' of vehicles shot, great job!
