The original Diamond Green appears to be a similar color. The color, and color change, got my attention. Would be a super nice cruiser, at a relatively low price. So if any of you are looking for a Thunderbird 4 door Landau, here it is! The seller is asking $9,500 for this car and would like to see it go to a Thunderbird collector. The seller has a Marti report on the car. Items that have been recently replaced include the water pump, starter solenoid, battery cables, new distributor and new exhaust system. The engine is a 429 Thunder Jet which was originally a 4 barrel, but was converted to a 2 barrel when rebuilt “to try and save fuel”. As reader Miguel commented on the 1968 Thunderbird, the four-door model uses a flat back rear seat, losing the wraparound design of the rear seats found on the two-door models. The car has a pad protecting the upper dash.

The power windows will need some attention and the air conditioning will need recharging. There appears to be some staining on the center of the front seat while the rear seat looks pretty good. The interior is the optional Brougham cloth trim. The car also has special mag type wheel covers that were unique to Thunderbird. The 1969 Thunderbird still featured sequential turn signals. They did this with the Thunderbird again in 1979 after a couple of years of full-width taillights. Ford redesigned the taillights in 1969 choosing to revert to wide separate taillights instead of using the full-width lights of the past three years. The previous owner, a Thunderbird collector which owned the car from 1972 to 2017, chose to repaint the car from its original Diamond Green to a 1957 Thunderbird color, Springmist Green. It also needs a headlight switch installed (which comes with the car). Unfortunately, the feature needs a power switch replacement but it does work manually. One of its rare options is the sliding power sunroof, one of only 435 of the 1969 Thunderbirds to have this options. This is a fully loaded Thunderbird that was special ordered by a Ford executive. If you know of others please let us know. The only 4 door postwar cars that I recall having suicide doors are these Thunderbirds, Lincoln Continentals of the sixties, and late forties and early fifties Studebakers. Thanks to Barnfinds reader Miguel for finding this car and bringing to our attention us.Īnd here are the famous suicide doors. This 1969 Ford Thunderbird 4 Door Landau is for sale here on Craigslist in Lake Elsinore, California.
According to comments, some of you liked it but said you preferred the 4 door model with suicide doors. Barnfinds recently features a 1968 Ford Thunderbird 2 door Landau.
