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 engine
- automatic transmission
- power steering and power disc brakes
- Landau package
- Selectaire air conditioning
- power 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.
This car is kept in my climate-controlled warehouse in Willoughby, OH.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
