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.

Man has surgery to remove T-Bird turn signal that's been in his arm for 51 years
Fri, Jan 2 2015In 1963, real estate agent Arthur Lampitt was driving a new Ford Thunderbird near East Peoria, Illinois on his way to an appointment when he collided head-on with a truck. A massive accident that was so bad that it was originally reported as a fatal crash, Lampitt suffered a broken hip and that became the focus of doctors' efforts. In fact, no one noticed the fact that the turn-signal stalk had been broken off the steering column and had lodged itself in Lampitt's arm. Fast-forward to around ten years ago, when Lampitt set off a courthouse metal detector because of a "slender object, about the size of a pencil" in his arm. Despite that unnerving discovery, the doctor who examined Lampitt said that since it didn't hurt, he needn't worry about it. This year, however, it did start hurting and the affected arm started to bulge. Lampitt decided to have the issue seen to, and suspected it might have something to do with his 1963 accident. When he looked through photos of the wreck taken by a friend, he noticed the turn-signal stalk of the Thunderbird missing and figured that was the culprit. After a 45-minute outpatient surgery, the surgeon verified it: a slim, slightly bent and corroded, seven-inch metal cylinder with a trumpeted end. The surgeon said a protective pocket had formed around it, which is why it could remain in Lampitt's arm so long, but it was still unusual - "We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large." Lampitt, who is expected to make a full recovery, says he might make a keychain out of it, once he's done just holding it.

2020 Ford Super Duty Tremor vs. 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon: How they compare on paper
Tue, Jan 21 2020(Editor's Note: Due to inconsistencies in manufacturer reporting methods for ground clearance, an earlier version of this article stated the Ram Power Wagon's "ground clearance" to be 14.3 inches when in fact that is its "running clearance," which is deemed the ground to the lowest point of the truck MINUS the axles. The numbers below now reflect true ground clearance, or the ground to the lowest point of the truck, period. The chart and text have been updated to show both measurements for maximum accuracy and clarity.) For several years, the Ram 2500 Power Wagon has been the unquestioned king of heavy duty off-roaders. But competition is coming, and some of the strongest is from the 2020 Ford Super Duty Tremor. We decided to take a look at these trucks' specs and features to see how they compare in the realm of capability. The raw numbers are below along with some notes on each truck's unique features that go beyond the spec sheet. Off-road capability While both of these trucks boast impressive clambering abilities, each with particular strengths. The Super Duty Tremor earns points for better ground clearance and axle clearance, as well as approach angle. Some of the credit goes to the larger 35-inch tires and a shortened front air dam. On the other hand, the Power Wagon leads the Ford in departure angle, and in the ramp travel index. The latter is largely the result of the Power Wagon's electronically disconnecting sway bars, and for those unfamiliar, the ramp travel index measures articulation by having a truck drive one wheel up a ramp with the other on the ground. The farther the truck goes with the ground wheel in contact with the, well, ground, the better the score and the better the articulation. Numbers aren't everything, though. It's important to look at the equipment each truck offers, and things are closer, here, but the Ram still has an edge. Both feature off-road-friendly solid axles at both ends, but only the Power Wagon has fully locking differentials front and rear. The Tremor has a locking rear differential while the front is a limited-slip differential. The Power Wagon comes standard with a 12,000-pound integrated Warn winch, whereas such a winch is an option on the Tremor. The Tremor has its own unique features, though, including the 35-inch tires rather than the Ram's 33-inchers, and it has Ford's fancy off-road cruise control function called Trail Control. Both trucks have shocks and springs tuned for off-road use.
