1968 Ford Thunderbird Base Sedan 4-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
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.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners
Fri, Dec 2 2016Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
