I have a 1968 Ford Thunder bird four door sedan.

The body is in good condition, no body damage and no cancer at all throughout the vehicle, very original car from what I can tell.

The floor boards and trunk pan are very solid with no rust at all. The top is solid as well under the vinyl.

The interior is in really nice shape and very comfortable, it looks to be all original, but for how nice it is it could have been redone.

Interior lights all come on when the door is open and all dash lights and instruments work even the power seats and radio!                              

The only instrument that may not work is the gas gauge. It has a new stainless steel gas tank and I think the sending unit may have gotten unplugged as to why the gas gauge is not working. 

The only real surface rust is near the bottom of the vinyl top on the rear passenger side, but the body and frame is very solid in all areas. The vinyl top is in overall good shape for its age, but there is a section in the back that has cracked and is missing. To be really nice it could be replaced or just the under window section could be replaced.

All doors open and all as they should and the glass is in good shape. The drivers power window is the only window I have gotten to go up and down. The others may work but I have not investigated, they may just be stuck. 

The electro- pneumatic Headlights and windshield wipers work as they should and the headlights are really cool to see flip up.The heater and defroster work well and have been nice on these cold days. It has not been warm enough to really test the A/C yet.

It has front disk brakes which allow the car to slow down very easily, a big plus because this car really likes to move down the road!

The chrome is all in good shape and all the trim pieces seem to be there as well as emblems ect.

It has a 429 V8 that does start and run and idles very nicely, the automatic transmission shifts great. Mechanically the car performs very well, power steering is smooth and the car does not leak a drop of anything. I have had this car floating down the road at 85 mph with out a problem. 

I bought the car from an older gentleman who has owned it for the last 15 years and he purchased it from the original owners. It has been garage kept most of its life. I bought it to have as a nice Sunday cruiser for the family, but plans have changed and we need to sell. With a little work this car could be a nice show car, but for now it is a great driver and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.

If someone wanted to restore it and make it a nice show vehicle this would be a perfect candidate.

 

 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let me know, And I will get back with you to the best of my knowledge of the vehicle  

I have over 25 pictures of the interior and exterior as well as a video of the car running and driving, and I can send pictures and a short video of any area of the car for serious bidders.

This vehicle is sold AS-IS no warranty is written or expressed.

500 dollar deposit is due at end of auction with remaining cost due upon pick up of vehicle.

shipping/transportation of vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer.

Thanks you for your interest, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
