THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING. This is my 1968 Ford Thunderbird "Fordor" sedan with 85,188 original miles. This is what I'd term a "survivor" car, which is as close to original, stock condition as possible. This car has not been modified or monkeyed around with- this is a beautiful, clean, original car. This is probably one of the nicest, most-original 68 Thunderbirds you will find for sale anywhere- you're buying a piece of American automotive history. This car has been garage-kept for the past 45 years and it is in superb original condition. This T-bird has the following equipment and options:429cid 360HP Thunderjet V8 engineautomatic transmissionpower steering and power disc brakesLandau packageSelectaire air conditioningpower windows I have a copy of the original window sticker showing the purchase price of $5617 in 1968. I also have the original owner's manual. This is a clean, reliable, fun-to-drive car that you can use and enjoy exactly the way it is. This car is totally dependable and reliable, and would make a great weekend car or cruise-in conversation piece. This car starts, runs, drives, stops and shifts beautifully. The engine is powerful and runs smoothly, the transmission shifts perfectly, and the suspension, steering and brakes are tight and responsive. The 360HP engine feels and sounds great. You could fly in and drive this car home if you wanted. The paint and body are in very good condition. The paint looks as though it could be original- it is the correct Alaska Blue single-stage paint in great condition. I can't say that it may not have been repainted at some point decades ago, but it appears like it could be original to my eye. In any case the paint quality is quite good- no thin spots or oxidation. The body is totally and completely solid in every way- this car is superbly clean and straight. There are maybe just a handful of tiny bubbles under the paint in a few small spots- I'd say this car is 99% rust free. The underside is clean, solid and in very nice shape. The engine bay is spectacularly clean- you could practically eat off the 429 engine. The vinyl Landau top is original and in great condition with no cracks or shrinkage. The interior is original and very clean and nice. The vinyl has held up well and the carpets look good as well. The interior controls and buttons are in good shape as well. The power windows are working only on the driver's side for some reason, and the original Philco radio is present but doesn't turn on. The air conditioning and ventilation controls work great, and all of the A/C components are present but the air conditioning isn't blowing cold at the moment. I'm sure it could be made to work. The rear sequential turn signals work properly- these are probably the best conversation pieces on the whole car. Nobody can believe these existed back then! Also the vacuum-operated headlight covers work properly. The trunk is clean, solid and in great shape. The original spare is still mounted. This car drives down the road spectacularly well. It is smooth, comfortable, quiet and very powerful. This car handles and drives like the premium-quality car it was in 1968. This is certainly one of the nicest-condition, most original 1968 Thunderbirds you will find for sale anywhere. You could fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this T-bird home. Alternatively, and with less risk, you could have the car shipped. Please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.
