1968 Ford Thunderbird Base Hardtop 2-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
This is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird in great condition and all original! The body is in great shape, the car was originally silver but was painted maroon about 5 years ago, The paint job was thorough and the door panels and under hood and trunk were painted as well. The vinyl top was replaced 3 years ago and is in excellent condition with no sags or tears. The body overall is almost entirely rust free. There is a small spot of surface rust over the right rear tire nor larger than a quarter.
The interior of the car is all original and includes power windows (all working) and an air conditioner. The seats are all black leather and in great shape. There are two cracks in the leather each about 1 inch long on the passenger seat but the rest of the seats are like new. Under the hood of the car is a ford V8 7.0L 429 Thunderjet with dual exhaust and a 4 barrel holly carburetor. The car is fast and runs very smooth. It has 146,000 original miles and has been regularly serviced with no issues. The engine was recently tuned and turns over no matter the outdoor temperature. The only technical issues I have had with it are wiring related and just with the taillights. The brake reverse and turn signals work just fine but the taillights fail to come on from time to time, this however does not effect the headlights or high beams. Things that have been recently replaced are the starter, battery, front window motors, and turn signal sequencer. The whole transmission was re-sealed about two years ago and seems to be doing well. I have many of the original documents associated with the car and am the 3rd owner. I really enjoyed having the car but have recently been forced to give it up. |

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]
Thu, 26 Jun 2014With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.
