1968 THUNDERBIRD 4 DOOR FOR SALE WINDOWS
The steering wheel is wrapped in black leather and feels great in your hands, and things like A/C and power windows are part of the package. Lots of burled walnut appliques do a nice job of making it look elegant, and the instrument panel features five round bezels each of which give you something different to look at. The luxury aspect of Ford's personal/luxury coupe are most readily apparent inside, where the sumptuous black upholstery looks '60s cool and is beautifully preserved. Out back, this 'Bird carries the now-famous full-width taillights, which operate sequentially in the best Thunderbird tradition. There's also a padded landau top which is in great shape, showing none of the usual trouble spots. Finish quality is quite nice, with a great shine on the paint, which is a fairly authentic reproduction of the original hue. The all-new shape was thoroughly modern, with a jet-inspired intake that also carries hidden headlamps and a flush-fitting bumper that highlights the subtle layering of the front fenders. The long hood/short deck theme continued, and while there's a lot of sheetmetal between here and there, it's all quite tasteful when wrapped in Highland Green (you know, the same color as Frank Bullitt's Mustang GT). More Lincoln than Ford at this point (the Mark III would be built on a 4-door Thunderbird chassis), the look is still unmistakably Thunderbird. There's also a padded landau top which is in great shape, showing none of the usual trouble. Big power combined with rare options and the factory buildsheet truly make this one something special.
Fortunately, cars like this lovely 1968 Thunderbird coupe also got a big horsepower injection to go with the increased size in the form of a thundering 429 cubic inch V8. The Thunderbird was all-new in 1968, and with the Mustang nipping at its heels, Ford took the 'Bird upmarket, making it more luxury car than sporting personal coupe. 429 CI, HIGHLAND GREEN ON BLACK, PS, PB, POWER WINDOWS, A/C, FACTORY BUILDSHEET!
