This is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird with a 429 Thunderjet engine. This car is an unrestored classic. Survivor! The 429 thunderjet engine is boasting an impressive 360 hp out of the factory! This car is all original save for the radio and landau top. Radio has been repalced by a new CD player w/ remote and usb port. Landau top was removed and roof has been painted black in it's place. The car runs and drives very good. Takes hills cruising at 65 with plenty power to spare. The body is in good shape save for a small dent in the front passenger side quarter panel (shown in picture) but it can be pulled. Original paint is still on car but needs new paint. Has retractable lights in the front grill they both work. Taillights stretch across entire backside of car they all work. Blinkers work. Brakes are good. Have original wheels on the car and are in good shape. Tires are in excellent shape less than 1000 miles on all. Also have the hubcaps but aren't currently on the car but can easily be put on. All of the original outside trim is there (thunderbird emblems on lights, chrome, bumpers, grill) and in good condition. The interior is in good condition, there is one small rip (pictured) on either side of the front seat in the top corner. There is also a rip on the arm rest. All guages work. A/C works! PS/PB. Brights work. Thunderbird emblems on inside door panels there and in good shape. No back registration due, I have the title. No leaks and frame is good. Steers great, no play in the steering. Indicator lights work as well. The CD player is the only thing new in the car otherwise all original. All parts functional and serviceable. It has been very well maintained and is in really good condition for being 45 years old. A little cosmetic work (mostly paint) and this car would not only run good, it would look great. The originality of the car is great down to the pedal rubbers. In this condition with these options the car is booking at around 9,000. Leaving some meat on the bone I feel this price is fair. To get this car and try to find the trim parts and other accessories would be a pain. They're already all there. If you put a little care into it, it would be just as it rolled out of the factory. Also being that it's unrestored you don't have to undue someone elses work. Make it your own. This is a great car. Bid with confidence. Also selling it locally, reserve the right to end auction early if sold locally.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
