Vehicle Description
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. Who knew
classic car distinction could be so affordable? Don't miss out,
