Ford LTD 400 V8 1972

General description : SUPER CLEAN & DRIVES EXCELLENT! 400 V8, COLD A/C, GREAT PAINT! SMOOTH POWER TOP!

Here's one stylish vintage, droptop cruiser sure to make everyone look twice. Already a rare sight in convertible form, this 1972 Ford LTD is dressed in a great color combination and is running great. It's been very well maintained and benefits from a bevy of newly installed parts that will allow this awesome-looking ride to provide miles and miles of cruising enjoyment well into the future.
The yellow exterior is absolutely smile-inducing. On a sunny day with its convertible top down, you can just picture a carload full of happy occupants inside as it ably cruises highway or boulevard. Combine the great hue with a very well applied clearcoat and you'll see a nice even shine, no matter your vantage point. A lot of care has also gone into making sure its 45-plus years of service haven't taken their toll and, as you take a lap around, you'll notice that everything lines up nicely and the doors open and shut smoothly. Take a look at the upper and lower trim running along the sides and notice how evenly it matches up from fender to door to quarter panel. During less appealing weather, the white convertible top will present itself in very good condition to provide shelter. This is a great example of '70s automotive styling, with its long broad hood, ornate front grille and extensive use of chrome all over. Appropriately for a car so well-preserved, it remains in its stock stance - low to the ground and level.
Take a look inside and you'll see a great by-product of this LTD's generous proportions - an exceedingly roomy and comfortable white vinyl interior inviting you to bring your friends along, as there's more than enough space on those expansive front and back bench seats for everyone. Just below the seating, the expanse of contrasting black carpeting still looks fresh and only lightly used. A lot of important details in the interior have been looked after and that attention has paid dividends. In addition to a quiet ride that belies all its years of duty - certainly helped along by the addition of new seals in the doors and windows - the new A/C system is in fine form to keep passengers comfortable and, with its new hydraulics, the convertible top raises and lowers without incident. The gauges in the well-preserved black and wood patterned dash are all easily readable through clear lenses, and the original AM/FM stereo sitting front and center is still in working condition. An original 1972 Owner's Manual sits securely in the glove box to provide testimony to the car's great history.
In the spacious engine compartment sits its original 400 cubic inch V8. Topped by a 4-barrel carb, it's an upgrade over the 351s that LTDs were more commonly equipped with. Bolted to a 3-speed automatic transmission, it runs smoothly and quietly. A number of essential components, including the alternator, master brake cylinder, shocks and bushings, have been replaced to further instill all the confidence you need that this vintage ride is plenty roadworthy - even for lengthier excursions. Power brakes on all four corners - discs in front - provide the stopping power you'll want, and the still-smooth power steering system makes navigating this sizable car a breeze. This very cool vintage droptop sits on a set of 15" stock LTD rims wrapped in new Hankook tires with miles of tread life still in front of them.
In the market for a great looking vintage convertible cruiser that stands ready and able to take you on miles and miles of open air excitement? You have to check out this 1972 Ford LTD Convertible. Call today!

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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
