Seller's comments about 1971' Ford LTD

This 1971 Ford LTD convertible is close to the end of the line for Fords full-sized luxury ragtops, but they certainly didnt hold back. This cool and drop-top is the ideal size for grabbing some friends or family and heading out on a road trip. After all, youve got plenty of room inside and proper V8 power under the hood. The LTD convertibles were expensive. So they were rare when new and an even more seldom sight today. Thats a shame, because they had style. Bumper laws would soon put an end to artful front ends like this one with chrome surrounding a full-feature grille. It has handsome details, like the sheetmetal lines the extend through the long doors, and the stylish rocker trim running the full length of the car. The Graphite Gray paint is a color that looks nice in modern times while also looking appropriate for a classic. Still, you may want to put your own personal touch on the color, and the value price leave that kind of room on your budget. After all, when you have a car thats this complete and clean, it provides a great base for any way you want to motor. While the black roof looks well-done against the gray, it gets even more appealing with the flip of a switch. The top powers down to show off a distinct dark red interior. As a true full-sized convertible, this will seat six people with ease. The wood paneling has been preserved on the doors and dash to the level that allows this LTD to retain its luxury image. Fords two-tier instrument panel puts all the gauges up high and the secondary controls down low, and the effect is very clean and driver-oriented. So as much as we mention all the space to bring everyone along, we also know you can easily enjoy cruising this drop-top while going solo. Under the hood is a year-correct 351 cubic-inch V8 thats even believed to be original to the car. It gives a nice first impression all dressed in a Ford blue, and as you get closer, youll also spot newer belts and hoses that signal this has been cared for correctly. And the way this one fires up and runs reaffirms a well-respected life so far. A V8 like this is great for easy-cruising torque. It floats down the road like a good 70s machine should, and with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/front discs, Fords top-tier drop-top is a breeze to drive. A distinct classic convertible like this is not often also this affordable. So you know you have to act quickly if you want this LTD to be yours. Call today!!!
