1971 Ford LTD

For sale in our St. Louis showroom is a 1 owner 1971 Ford LTD Sedan. This time capsule was purchased and resided in the same town its entire existence, right here in O'Fallon, IL. The LTD nameplate made its debut in 1965 and last appeared on a Ford in 1991. Initially it was offered as the highest trim level on the Galaxie 500 in 1965, the LTD earned its own series in 1966. It was available in several different platforms over the years, ranging from a 2 door convertible to a 4 door station wagon. In 1983 a split took place with the LTD series going to a mid-size car based on the Fox body platform, and the top trim level of the Crown Victoria once again carried the LTD badge. Specifically for 1971, the LTD received a styling update, featuring horizontal taillights and a third brake light. The hideaway headlights were no longer available, the front end was redesigned with a tall center grille section, and LTD was emblazed in block letters on the hood. Options for this 1971 Ford LTD Sedan include: Air Conditioning (nonfunctioning), AM/FM Radio with an 8 track and Cassette Player adapter, Cruise Control, Hub Caps, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seat Belts, Cloth Interior, and White Wall Radial Tires. Powering this LTD is the original 400 CID V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission. This survivor has been garaged since it was purchased new, and has won awards in several car shows. The odometer reads 75,619. The entire interior: dashboard, cloth seats, carpet, and headliner have all aged very gracefully and are still in fantastic condition. An FM converter and a Cassette adapter has been installed via the 8 track player which was added to the original AM radio, all of which work and function as they should. Cruise control has been added to make long journeys a bit easier. The power brakes and power steering make this long 70's sedan manageable in any environment.
