The current seller is only the second owner, with their grandmother being the original owner. The car has new brakes and tires and comes with all records, including the original window sticker. As a California car its entire life, there is no rust that a potential buyer would have to deal with. The car is in perfect running order and has a massive 429 cubic-inch V8 engine, according to the seller. The seller says that the two-door Thunderbird is immaculate on the outside and inside. This 1969 Ford Thunderbird for sale is a perfect example with an asking price of only $9,500. Many classic Ford car collectors feel the same way, which is why very clean Thunderbirds of this vintage can often be had for a song. Later in the ‘60s, Ford moved to a different design, as seen on this 1969 Ford Thunderbird, and we have to admit we aren’t fans. We prefer the early ‘60s models around here. If we believe the air cleaner, this is a 429 Thunder Jet engine, which when new meant 360 horsepower and over 420 ft-lbs of torque! Even with a curb weight of 4541 pounds, that’s still enough power to make things interesting on the street! The seller has done a lot of mechanical refurbishment to the car, ranging from engine part replacement to suspension refurbishment.For a lot of Ford Thunderbird fans, it’s the first-generation two-seater cars that are their favorites. If you don’t want to take that on yourself, most local upholstery shops around here will take it on for you I’m guessing that’s true in other locales as well. The seller has already purchased a replacement set of top material, so it’s time to take the step of removing this top, fixing the damage and putting the new top material on. Uh-oh! Yes, those bubbles under the vinyl are exactly what you think they are. Here’s a better look at those great doors! There’s also a swing-away steering wheel, so there’s really no excuse for not being able to get into this big old car! Unfortunately, you can also see that some upholstery repair or replacement will be needed to get that interior up to snuff. The seller says they don’t have time for it anymore as they are deployed (I thank them for their service!) and want to see it go to someone who will appreciate it.Īs a child, I had a ‘ 68 Thunderbird Hot Wheel that was almost this color, and I remember loving the front end styling even then. One of the most challenging items for the stylists must have been to incorporate the rear door shut line half way into the landau vinyl top! The car really looks nice with the original wheel covers and a period color. It’s up for sale here on eBay where the buy it now price is $8,900 but lower offers are welcomed. Some call them “suicide” doors! Maybe this will win over those ‘two-door only’ readers? Anyway, it’s located only about 30 miles south of me in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This 1968 Thunderbird has those interesting rearward opening doors in the back.
