This 1971 Ford LTD convertible is close to the end of the line for Fords full-sized luxury ragtopsand#44; but they certainly didnt hold back. This cool blue-on-blue droptop is the ideal size for grabbing some friends or family and heading out on a road trip. And with a burly rebuilt 351ci V8 under the hoodand#44; itll go anywhere with effortless ease. The appearance of these LTDs have sure gotten even better with age. Bumper laws would soon put an end to artful front ends like this one with chrome surrounding a full-feature grill and inset headlights. You dont see many of these around anymoreand#44; so painting it bright blue gives it even more distinction. The whole convertible was obviously very well maintainedand#44; as the sheetmetal is straight and the gaps are good. So we suspect it always had a nice parking spot all to its own. It seems this was more of a cherished convertible than a daily driver. Detailing is pure 1970sand#44; including the large bright rockers that run the full length of the carand#44; and then it rises to meet the well-integrated bumper. With this amount of shining trimand#44; the upgrade to 70s-style Lincoln hubcaps look like a good choice. While the white roof looks like a true class actand#44; we quite like the look of the blue interior underneath. Against the bright blue paintand#44; the slightly darker blue inside has a very European appearance. Like the rest of the carand#44; its nicely presented and preserved. So the blue benches look great and dont suffer from sun fadingand#44; and as a true full-sized convertibleand#44; this LTD 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 lowand#44; but the effect is very clean and driver-oriented. This convertible retains some nice factory features like the AM/FM stereo and provisions for the air conditioning. But we know your favorite part will be the power windows. When combined with the power folding topand#44; you are just the touch of a few buttons away from turning enclosed security into open air motoring. Fords torquey and smooth 351 cubic-inch V8 provides plenty of power for the big ragtop. Crisply detailed in Ford Blueand#44; it appears quite stockand#44; which means effortless torque at any speed and the kind of quiet power that defined luxury in the 70s. It floats down the road like a good 70s machine shouldand#44; and with a C6 three-speed automatic transmissionand#44; power steeringand#44; and front disc brakesand#44; Fords top tier luxury droptop is a breeze to drive. Exceptionally well presented and preservedand#44; a rare gem 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!!! |
