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.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.
Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
