The current owner of this 1972 Ford LTD Convertible purchased it new on 10/15/1971 in Geyserville, California and he informs us that this desirable classic really hasn’t changed at all over the last 48 years. The factory engine has been rebuilt once in its life and the convertible top has been replaced, plus there were some minor touch up to the front driver’s side fender to repair a ding a few decades back. Otherwise, nothing has changed on this beautiful vehicle other than general maintenance.
Additionally, this 1972 Ford LTD Convertible has very nice curb appeal with a little shine still remaining in the factory paint and above average chrome. You will find some typical nicks and scratches expected from a true survivor of this caliber, plus a gorgeous interior that really stands out in person. Likewise, the engine compartment is typical of a true survivor and could use some light refreshing if the next owner chooses to do so. The ride quality is still impressive even today though and this one could be enjoyed on the open road immediately.

With excellent documentation and literally no guesswork involved, this beautiful classic will find a new home quickly.

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
