Ford LTD 400 V8 1971

Allmän beskrivning : REAL SHARP LTD IN CORRECT FACTORY COLORS, SMOOTH 400 V8, AUTO, MANY PWR OPTIONS!

This 1971 Ford LTD convertible is close to the end of the line for Ford's full-sized luxury ragtops, but they certainly didn't hold back. It's the ideal size for grabbing some friends or your family and heading out on a road trip, and with a burly 400 cubic inch V8 under the hood, it'll go anywhere with effortless ease.
Sure the Mustangs get all the attention, but looking at the proportions of this big LTD, you can see that the designers knew a thing or two about making big cars, too. You don't see many of these around, so painting it a handsome shade of dark blue to get it noticed was probably not necessary but sure works well. Code X Dark Blue Metallic is the car's original color and while the paint has some years on it, it still shines up brilliantly and looks great glistening in the sunlight, making this an ideal fair-weather cruiser. It was obviously very well maintained, as the sheetmetal is straight, the gaps are good, and there are very few of the usual nicks and dings that cars seem to collect over the years. Nobody was using this as a daily driver and parking it at the grocery store; it was always treated as something special. Detailing is pure 1970s, with plenty of heavy chrome accents, although the grille is a work of art with varying textures and shapes that makes this look like a far more expensive car.
While most dark cars got dark interiors, the code FW white vinyl interior is how this car was originally ordered. Like the rest of the car, it's in excellent shape with wide bench seats fore and aft for six passenger comfort, and when I say six passengers, I mean six where nobody will complain about the accommodations. The carpets are surely newer and look awesome, with door panels that carry controls for the power windows, a nice option. Ford's two-tier instrument panel puts all the gauges up high and the secondary controls down low, but the effect is very clean and driver-oriented, particularly for 1971. Somewhere along the line the original radio was replaced with a Sony AM/FM/CD unit, but otherwise the interior appears to be completely stock and as-delivered, which really is a refreshing change these days. The car is also equipped with a tilt steering column, power locks, and a power front seat, so it really is luxurious to drive. The sparkling white convertible top is power-actuated and features a glass rear window, and the trunk is downright massive.
Ford's torquey and smooth 400 cubic inch V8 provides plenty of power for the big ragtop, and we have no reason to believe it's not the original engine, although there's no proof. Crisply detailed in Ford Blue with some chrome accents, it's quite stock, which means effortless torque at any speed and the kind of quiet power that defined luxury in the '70s. Thanks to an aftermarket 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold, it starts easily and idles smoothly, and with the silky smooth C6 3-speed automatic transmission behind it, the feel is really luxurious. The suspension isn't made for handling, of course, but nothing floats along like a '70s luxury car, and if you like solid original cars, the chassis will not disappoint. Cool chrome wheels with baby moon hubcaps give it a sporty look that belies its luxury mission and those 235/70/15 white-letter radials don't hurt, either.
These are relatively rare cars today, and finding one that's not only this well preserved, but that is also loaded with options in a great color combination. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
