Steel 15″ wheels are mounted with 225/75 Delta Durasteel tires, and the seller notes that two of the Thunderbird-logo full wheel covers are damaged. The seller notes corrosion on the right-rear fender lip, and dented trim and chipped paint are shown in close-up photos provided in the gallery below.

The car was ordered in Light Gold (R), and the seller states that it was repainted in the 1970s after a sandstorm reportedly damaged the factory paint. This Thunderbird four-door Landau sedan is now offered at no reserve with yellow-on-black California plates and a clean California title in the seller’s name. Recent service reportedly included replacement of the fuel pump, cleaning of the fuel tank, a tune-up, and a carburetor rebuild.

Turbine wheel covers are easy to damage with errant parking, but these look great.This 1969 Ford Thunderbird four-door sedan was reportedly purchased by the seller’s father and has remained in the family since new. Any hint of its origin as an alternative to the Corvette was long-gone by the Summer of Love. Don’t try that with your long-idled museum piece, folks.įaux landau bars and limousine-style roof treatment began in ’66, and carried into this generation as the Thunderbird moved further upscale. I have to confess that about two minutes after urging my Dad’s ’66 back to life, I couldn’t resist burning the low-budget snow tires in my driveway. The velvety 480 lb-ft of torque promises to overpower those original sized tires when you disrupt your bucolic golf club with a completely-inappropriate smoky burnout. Original except for maintenance items, the 429 Thunderjet cranked out 360 HP. Love hidden headlights? Dig the spaceship front on this ’69. This elegant coupe comes with none of that literal and philosophical baggage.
As you may know, the fifth generation T-bird introduced the world to the first four-door Thunderbird, an answer to a question that many Ford fans wish had never been asked. Personally I favor the ’66 dash with cockpit-style center and overhead consoles. Some parts of this Ford show the evolution from that earlier model, and others demonstrate a clear departure. Years ago I brought a 1966 Thunderbird Town Landau back from the dead. The listing here on craigslist asks $9300. Though running condition is not mentioned in the listing, the big Ford never required major work in all those years, and comes with a lifetime of maintenance records. Offered for sale by her nephew, this cream-puff has accumulated a mere 60,000 miles and change. Original paint, original top, original driveline, original interior, and more! That should answer the typical challenges to the overused claim of “survivor.” This beautiful T-bird earns it! The 1969 Ford Thunderbird in Claremore, Oklahoma enjoyed years of garaged care in the hands of its original owner, a literal old lady from (South) Pasadena, California.
