Vehicle Description
Here's one stylish vintage, droptop cruiser sure to make everyone
look twice. Already a rare sight in convertible form, this 1972
Ford LTD is dressed in a great color combination and is running
great. It's been very well maintained and benefits from a bevy of
newly installed parts that will allow this awesome-looking ride to
provide miles and miles of cruising enjoyment well into the
future.
The yellow exterior is absolutely smile-inducing. On a sunny day
with its convertible top down, you can just picture a carload full
of happy occupants inside as it ably cruises highway or boulevard.
Combine the great hue with a very well applied clearcoat and you'll
see a nice even shine, no matter your vantage point. A lot of care
has also gone into making sure its 45-plus years of service haven't
taken their toll and, as you take a lap around, you'll notice that
everything lines up nicely and the doors open and shut smoothly.
Take a look at the upper and lower trim running along the sides and
notice how evenly it matches up from fender to door to quarter
panel. During less appealing weather, the white convertible top
will present itself in very good condition to provide shelter. This
is a great example of '70s automotive styling, with its long broad
hood, ornate front grille and extensive use of chrome all over.
Appropriately for a car so well-preserved, it remains in its stock
stance - low to the ground and level.
Take a look inside and you'll see a great by-product of this LTD's
generous proportions - an exceedingly roomy and comfortable white
vinyl interior inviting you to bring your friends along, as there's
more than enough space on those expansive front and back bench
seats for everyone. Just below the seating, the expanse of
contrasting black carpeting still looks fresh and only lightly
used. A lot of important details in the interior have been looked
after and that attention has paid dividends. In addition to a quiet
ride that belies all its years of duty - certainly helped along by
the addition of new seals in the doors and windows - the new A/C
system is in fine form to keep passengers comfortable and, with its
new hydraulics, the convertible top raises and lowers without
incident. The gauges in the well-preserved black and wood patterned
dash are all easily readable through clear lenses, and the original
AM/FM stereo sitting front and center is still in working
condition. An original 1972 Owner's Manual sits securely in the
glove box to provide testimony to the car's great history.
In the spacious engine compartment sits its original 400 cubic inch
V8. Topped by a 4-barrel carb, it's an upgrade over the 351s that
LTDs were more commonly equipped with. Bolted to a 3-speed
automatic transmission, it runs smoothly and quietly. A number of
essential components, including the alternator, master brake
cylinder, shocks and bushings, have been replaced to further
instill all the confidence you need that this vintage ride is
plenty roadworthy - even for lengthier excursions. Power brakes on
all four corners - discs in front - provide the stopping power
you'll want, and the still-smooth power steering system makes
navigating this sizable car a breeze. This very cool vintage
droptop sits on a set of 15" stock LTD rims wrapped in new Hankook
tires with miles of tread life still in front of them.
In the market for a great looking vintage convertible cruiser that
stands ready and able to take you on miles and miles of open air
excitement? You have to check out this 1972 Ford LTD Convertible.
