Great Looking Car! — My Brother-In-Law owed me $200, and was about to loose this car to a towtruck, so I assummed the responsibility of towing the car to my home and he'd sign over the title. I live in the rain forests of Washington State, and the back window had been broken for some time, not to mention the the two rubber drain tubes under the rear window had disintegrated. No carpet, the headliner was hanging down on my head, no interior lighting, and a slew of other electrical and vacuume related issues awaited me in my garage. Finally got it running only to find out it has a cracked exhaust manifold.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

1968 T-bird — Great acceleration... 0-60 in under 10 sec, not bad for a 4600lb car! Solid build...suicide doors with an I-beam that will destroy the front end of anything it hits. Super fun to drive...It's great to know you have more acceleration even when you are going 90mph!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

68 Tbird — It's a 68 2 dr with a vinyl roof. Bought out of Virginia and has a current VA inspection. The paint is mostly gone what rust I see is only surface. The vinyl roof is sun rotted and will need to be replaced. All lights work and so do the flip up headlights. On the interior I'll need some inside door panels and the the seats need to be refoamed as you feel the springs when you sit in both seats. Headliner, and carpet looks decent for being 40 years old. This was delivered 2 days ago so I'm still going over the car! The motor is a 429 and sound real strong. Starts up a little hard and could use a new set of plugs.

I Like The Car — I would love the car if it had all of the options, but I can put them in manually.

Everyone Loves It — its a 1968 Ford Thunderbird with a very strong 429 4bbl with over 360 hp. It is all original other than wheels and the set of headers which everyone said could never be found yet found and installed. Paint is a 8 year old sunburst orange. Wheels are American Racing 235 45 17

Ugly, But Fun By Gordon

I have never liked the look of this car, but my uncle got one and let me drive, and I loved driving it! It almost handled like a sports car. I did a burnout 180 in the middle of the road in it. Read More
