Ford LTD 5.8 Liter V8 1972

Allmän beskrivning : MODERN 5.8L V8 SWAP, AUTO, 4-WHEEL DISCS, LOTS OF OPTIONS, A/C, DRIVES GREAT!!

This 1972 Ford LTD convertible is one of those cars you'd never have dreamed could look this cool. Yet here it is. A very cool resto-mod with an updated look, a fuel-injected V8, and a nicely modernized interior, it turns a ho-hum car into something that grabs everyone's attention and makes the driver grin like an escaped convict. And we all agree, this is the best driving convertible we've ever had in our showroom.
The shape is familiar but you've never seen an LTD look this sleek before. Remarkably, the body isn't modified save for shaving a few badges and body-colored bumpers, but that makes all the difference. Better still, the creamy white paint makes for a subtle presentation that achieves almost the opposite effect, because this car generates a ton of attention in public! They spent plenty of cash getting it straight and even before spraying the paint, and it pays off with crisp shut lines and those subtle creases on the fenders stand out in marked contrast, a detail many folks may not have noticed before. Silver cladding on the rockers makes the car look even longer and lower than it is and the body-colored bumpers are a big help in making it look trim and neat. In back, the taillight bezels have been blacked out, giving it an industrial-strength appearance while the grille has been painted a contrasting tan that looks exactly right. Even the stock mirrors were painted body color to help them blend in, but they look great because they're not the usual aftermarket pieces that everyone else uses. This car marches to its own beat, and it's a good one!
The cream leather interior is anchored by a pair of power leather buckets from a late-model Ford Explorer. At a glance, you'd almost think they were born in the LTD, especially since the patterns on the rear bench are such a close match. The door panels were upholstered to match the seats, with black carpets and dash to keep it from being overwhelming in the sunlight. As a luxury car, you also get amenities such as cold A/C, cruise control, power windows, and a tilt steering column. A big honkin' stereo includes a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/iPod head unit with speakers scattered throughout the car plus a custom subwoofer enclosure in the trunk that still leaves plenty of room for your gear (this is a full-sized car, after all). A newer power convertible top fits well and folds itself neatly into the well in a matter of seconds.
You can forget the wheezing '70s powerplant, this one is fitted with a 351 cubic inch V8 and factory EFI, so it's torquey and reliable. Transplanted from a '90s full-sized Ford pickup, it's a great choice in the luxury-oriented LTD. The installation is so neat it almost looks like a factory job, complete with a serpentine belt drive system, modern A/C components, and a giant aluminum radiator up front. That installation also includes an automatic transmission, which seems appropriate. However, the suspension and brakes are more sports car than luxury yacht, with coil-overs at all four corners and 4-wheel disc brakes. A set of tubular headers feed a custom dual exhaust system with intermediate resonators and big mufflers so this luxury car sounds appropriate. There's also a recent gas tank out back. Big 17-inch wheels tuck neatly into the oversized fender wells and carry fat 235/55/17 Firestone radials.
Proving that dare to be different can be ultra-cool, this Ford LTD is an awesome car that you didn't even know you wanted. Now that you've seen it, it's kind of hard to forget, isn't it? 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
