Its not perfect, of course, but it certainly has the right look for a car that just passed its 50th birthday and is ready for 50 more. Older restoration with solid interior and newer vinyl top. This 1968 Ford Thunderbird is, by itself, a very cool car, but if you're of the dare-to-be-different crowd, it will really stand out with its aggressive stance and suicide doors. I think they were elegant.Some cars are interesting all by themselves, and others are interesting for the stories they can tell, but the very best cars offer both. Glad we can look back and laugh at ourselves now. So yes, they did make 4 doors, and they were gas eaters.
By the time he got through scaring and badgering the hell out of us, we turned the car over to him for FREE, and I believe we even “thanked” him for “helping” us out of our dilemma. No brainer…we gotta sell this thing !!! But to WHO ? Finally my dear old dad (rest his soul) shows up at our house with a “friend” who’s a used car dealer and is willing to “help”. Odd, even days, long lines, outrageous price increases, and often enough you couldn’t buy a drop of gas no matter how much you were willing to pay. Anyway, we paid $800.00 for the T-bird, installed a $200.00 complete exhaust system and within weeks,…the “GAS SHORTAGE” hit. Small claims court judge awarded us $2.00 per week from this little SOB. It’s Spring 1973, married less than a year (struggling), and we found a 68 T-bird, 4 door, to replace my bride’s 66 Mustang which was hit and “totaled” by a 15 year old, “uninsured” motorist who took his grandmother’s car for a joy ride. If you want a clean T-bird, it may make sense to contact this owner. You are asked to make contact for additional details. The owner will show you the car by appointment only. We don’t know how often the car is started and/or driven. The owner does not let us know if this car is a driver. The present owner purchased this car in 1981 from the original owner, drove it home and parked it in the garage. This car is wearing the original factory paint.
Is that the original spare sitting there? We don’t know and it isn’t mentioned in the ad. In the beautiful original red interior you have, power windows, a tilt steering-wheel, A/C, and the factory installed radio.Īll appears to be in order in the backseat as well. There is a 390 V-8 with an automatic transmission to power you along. This is one of the 37,422 which listed for $4,704 in ’67.Īccording to the seller this car has 38,000 actual certified miles in total. Listed here on craigslist Carbondale, Illinois is this “like new” 1967 Thunderbird Landau with a negotiable price of $14,900. This “T-Bird” has spend the last 34 years in the garage.
