Whilst the Grand Tourer rage was all over Europe in the Fifties, Ford decided to bring it over to North America. In doing so, they created the segment known as the Personal Luxury Car when they introduced the Thunderbird line-up in 1955. The Thunderbird was hugely successful, and was produced over ten generations from 1955 to 1997, and an eleventh generation briefly ran between 2002 and 2005. What we’ve got here is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe from the fifth generation of the nameplate. This Florida-based car has a healthy 106,754 miles under its wheels, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the pictures, as it’s been very well looked after.
1967 saw the fifth-generation Thunderbird debut, with dramatically changed styling that some called radical at the time. It also pushed the size of the car further, making it larger in overall dimensions, and was even offered as a four-door pillared hardtop. This 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe is a two-door that wears a timeless white paint job and rolls on hubcapped wheels with new Nexen tires. Up front, it’s not hard to notice the hidden headlamps that were a head-turner in the day, and still make passers-by do a double take. The seller reports that this car has faced no accidents, and all seams and body panels are straight. The black interior offers accommodations for four occupants on plush leather seats, with a wood-trimmed dash and two-spoke steering wheel. This car is also equipped with air conditioning, which the seller reports, has received a new compressor and hoses. The interior looks to be mostly in pristine condition, save for a few minor imperfections that can easily be rectified.
The fifth-generation Thunderbird came with a choice of three engines during its four-year production run, and this 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe enjoys the largest of them all, the 429ci (7.0L) V8. This engine was rated at 360hp, but many claim this was a conservative figure. With this engine, the Thunderbird was quite quick off the line, despite its larger dimensions and porkier weight as a result. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Ford Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The seller reports that this car has received a front end alignment, new master cylinder, new brake booster and new belts.
