Price: US $2,500.00 SOLD OUT
. Here is a very nice all original 1968 Ford Thunderbird. This is a one owner car, bought in 1968 in California. No dents, never been hit, straight as can be. Has a factory V8 429 Thunderjet 4bbl engine. The car has air conditioning and is fully loaded with every option available in 1968. Has a little rust around each of the rear wheels as shown. No rust in the trunk, it is solid as can be. Has 2 sets of hub caps, one in the trunk, original jack in the trunk also as well as the original spare tire wheel in the trunk also. Front and real bumbers are dent free. Interior is very nice and the console is in excellent condition. The vinyl top has deteriorated as shown and a few pin holes in the top, but does not leak in the car and no interior water damage. Suicide doors. I just bought this car from the original owner, a lady whose husband passed away 15 years ago and the car has sat since then. I pulled it home about 8 months ago, syphoned as much gas as I could out of the tank, added 15 gallons of high octane gas, primed the carburetor, and it started right up. Even the automatic choke worked. However the carburetor was leaking a little gas around the top by the accelerator pump. I backed it down the driveway, transmission and brakes were working fine. I pulled the carburetor and bought a carburetor kit and carburetor fuel pump. I never got around to rebuilding the carburetor, but tightened the screws on the carburetor and pt the filter on the carburetor and put it back on the car about a month ago. I also just bought a new 800 cranking amp battery at the same time and put it in the car. Now when I went to start it, no gas to the carburetor. I believe the residual sludge in the tank has gummed up the filter in the tank or there may also be an inline filter that needs changed. The fuel pump was working fine before so I do not think it is the fuel pump. I think if you drop the gas tank and clean it the car will be ready to drive. If you put a spit of gas in the carburetor it fires right off. One piece of trim on the bottom passenger side has come off but is included in good condition. Clear title. We are located in Longmont, Colorado for pick-up.
