For Sale: 1970 Ford LTD in Ft Worth, Texas

This 1970 Ford LTD Brougham is an impressive mix of survivor style that also has the right upgrades and care to keep it such a solid cruiser. And best of all, this premium vintage hardtop is being offered for a terrific price.

LTD meant top-of-the-line in 1970, and this one sure looks the part. You have retractable headlights, a wave of brightwork trim 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 that it has been given all the right care for over a half-century. Even the wheel covers are factory-correct. Wimbledon White is this car's factory color, and there has been the right care and investment in this finish to strike a good balance where it's glossy but not overly redone to look too precious to drive. And a detail that cannot be overlooked is the full-length rub strip. It helps show off how straight the panels are on this long coupe profile, and it also coordinates with the taut-fitting black vinyl roof.

A hardtop coupe like this is great for rolling down all the windows and showcasing the interior... and that's exactly what you'll be doing at the car shows. The premium Brougham upholstery is believed to be a full surviving style, right down to the textured cloth and button-top seatbacks. Intricate door panels, nice carpeting, and a clean headliner are all part of this impressive style. As a true full-sized Ford, this LTD will seat six people with ease. And you can choose to service factory features like the AM/FM stereo and air conditioning if you want then to cruise in full luxury. 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 has a clean and stock style under the hood. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll discover this one was upgraded with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer intake, and a newer dual exhaust. It's the kind of setup you'd want in your '70 Mustang, and here it's less about being a rowdy sports car and more about delivering a deep well of torque for confident and dignified cruising. Plus, with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, Ford's top-tier hardtop is a breeze to drive.

This car has been in the same family for nearly 20 years, and it has the well-kept feeling that makes long-term ownership so desirable. The sale even comes complete with terrific extras like extra keys, the owner's manual, an original paint pallet catalog, maintenance receipts, a custom sun shade, and a car cover.
