For sale in our Chicago showroom is this stunning '79 Ford LTD. The
LTD was Fords full-size offering, but strict emissions regulations
were forcing Fords hand into downsizing their lineup. In the effort
to downsize, the "Panther" chassis was introduced. The panther
serves as a Chassis for the LTDs successor, the Crown Victoria
until its demise in 2011. 1979 saw the first year of the Panther on
the redesigned LTD. This example is powered by a 351w and an
automatic transmission. With a believed original 31,274 actual
miles, the car drives as good as new, and looks it, too. A fresh
exhaust system with glasspack resonators gives a strong rumble to
the car, without any loud or raspy tone. The paint looks as if Ford
has just sprayed the final clear coat yesterday. All the factory
pinstriping is in great shape and the glass is free of any cracks.
The body shows no rust, and the wheels are in great shape. With
only 2-doors and a big 5.8l V8, this is one solid power-cruiser. It
floats down the road effortlessly, but still feels tight and
responsive up to highway speeds. The beautiful red vinyl interior
shows incredible, and it's hard to believe they have ever been sat
in. Being a coupe, this is an uncommon enough car. Add in the
optional 351w, and this is a fairly rare car indeed. Options on
this beautiful '79 Ford LTD include: Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio,
Power Brakes, Power Door Locks, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power
Windows, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Tilt Wheel, Vinyl Interior, and
a Numbers Matching Engine and Transmission. For more information on
