Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this beautiful 1969 Ford Thunderbird. Finished in a lovely Lilac Frost color with a white vinyl top, this bird is dressed to kill. Under the hood of this classic cruiser is a hefty 429 cubic inch Ford Thunderjet V8 that sounds very healthy and moves this car down the road effortlessly. The engines were conservatively rated at 360 horsepower making these some of the fastest thunderbirds produced to date despite their increased size and luxury.
For the 5th generation thunderbird, Ford decided to give them a larger platform and start moving them closer to Lincoln as the company chose to emphasize the âluxury" aspect of these cars. The interior shows just that, a spacious and plush cabin that you would find in some of the most sought after luxury cruisers of its time. With options such as air conditioning, power seats, power windows, power steering, and power brakes. Suicide rear doors would go on to compliment this and make it so the passengers could easily get in and out of the back seats.
This is an absolutely fantastic cruiser and its power and luxury would make it a suitable daily driver even compared to todays standards. These are hard to find in this condition and we are confident this one wont last long. Give us a call today to make it yours!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
