Vehicle Description
Restored in all the right places, and refreshing original
everywhere else, this 1970 Ford LTD hardtop sedan is a cool cruiser
for a terrific price.
LTD meant top-of-the-line in 1970, and this one sure looks the
part. Retractable headlights, a wave of brightwork following the
body line until it meets the base of the roof, and plenty of
ornamentation on the tail panel. And the reason why you can
recognize this premium-level appearance so well today is because
this in has been given all the right care over nearly a
half-century. Even the wheel covers are factory correct. But this
one has a brighter allure than you'd expect from just some
tucked-away classic. That's because it received a recent respray
applied at the Ford dealership. They used the iconic Wimbledon
White, and to that they added premium burgundy on the roof and hood
for a truly outstanding two-tone.
And we also love when a secondary color is a preview of the
interior. And when you open the door, the flood of burgundy
continues. Like the rest of the car, the interior is nicely
preserved, and the materials that were worn out like the dash pad
and headliner were recently replaced. As a true full-sized sedan,
this LTD will seat six people with ease. The wood paneling has been
preserved on the doors and dash to the level that allows this LTD
to retain its luxury image. Plus, this sedan retains provisions for
some nice factory features like the AM radio and air conditioning.
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. So it makes for a great environment when you've
got family and friends along for the ride or even if you're just
cruising solo.
Ford's legendary 351 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor
provides plenty of power for the sedan. The air topper and valve
covers are now crisply detailed in Wimbledon White to match the
exterior. But beyond that it appears quite stock, which means
effortless torque at any speed and the kind of dignified power that
defined luxury in the '70s. It floats down the road like a good 70s
machine should. Plus, with a three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and front disc brakes, Ford's top tier sedan is a
breeze to drive.
A striking hardtop version of a car you rarely see anymore. Who
knew classic car distinction could be so affordable? Don't miss
