The Ford Thunderbird served in a few capacities over the years, starting as a two-seater and then evolving to a personal luxury coupe.  However, with all the decades the car was in production, there was only a brief period when it could be had as a four-door sedan.  Available between 1967 and 1971, Ford made the extra entry points even more appealing by mounting them at the rear, a style commonly known as suicide doors.  This 1967 Ford Thunderbird Landau here on Craigslist could still use some additional attention, but it’s drivable and seems fairly priced at $4,300.  This one’s said to be a local San Francisco Bay area car, where it still resides, and we’d like to thank Barn Finds reader Barney for finding this cool T-Bird and sending us the tip!

The seller informs us he’s owned this car for over two decades and has already done quite a bit of work on it, with a real positive being that the engine reportedly runs well.  A new intake manifold has been installed, along with a rebuilt 1973-dated Autolite carburetor.  The gas tank has been cleaned, and a new fuel pump was put on within the past year, plus it’s also received a recent tune-up and an oil change.  The automatic transmission is said to be shifting fine, but the differential is emitting an excessive whine.  Fortunately, a complete rear axle is included in the sale, but you’ll have to install it.

If you want this Thunderbird to become a top-tier example again, some exterior work will be required, as there are a few imperfections here and there.  The largest body blunder is on the driver’s side, where a dent in the front fender also extends into the door.  The passenger-side fender isn’t perfect either, and I’m not sure what’s going on with the area above the rear tire on this same side.  At first, I thought it was pure corrosion, but it might be mostly POR15, a black coating designed to prevent or stop rust before it gets any worse.  The seller mentions that he removed the vinyl top and used this product on the roof before painting that area.

The interior may already be good enough for most buyers, with the original cloth and vinyl seats replaced with leather components sourced from another 1967 Thunderbird.  The climate control system is stated as inoperative, but the power windows and seat are said to be functioning, as is the factory radio.  Just the novelty of owning a T-Bird sedan with the unusual suicide doors makes me think this one is worth taking to the next level, and I hope someone will feel the same and give this one the extra attention it deserves.  Are you seeing this 1967 Ford Thunderbird Landau Sedan as a worthwhile project?
