1972 Ford LTD
The LTD nameplate was first introduced in 1965 as Ford sought to expand upon their Galaxy 500 series. They were the highest trim level for the full size Ford model range. They were geared towards the luxury car market and offered features that had previously been reserved for Lincoln and Mercury. With the arrival of the 2nd generation in 1969 the LTD was given a major redesign. The look entirely changed and although the chassis was mostly the same the wheelbase for the full size Ford Sedans stretched to 121 inches. This 1972 belongs to that 2nd generation and is a true survivor car. It has 19,541 original miles which is pretty remarkable considering it is a 50 year old car. Redesigns for this year include a chrome bumper that stretch across the grill, a squared off deck lid, and a very unique rear bumper that incorporates inset brake lights and central 3rd brake light. All of the chrome and stainless on the car is in excellent condition throughout. The body is straight and painted in Yellow paired with a Black vinyl top. It has had 1 repaint in its lifetime and it looks great. The vinyl top is part of the original Brougham trim package which was special ordered. The glass is all in good condition and has a slight tint. All of the exterior lights are working properly with no issues. It rolls around on a set of original wheels with original Ford hubcaps.

The LTD era was the first time that Fords lineup was entirely powered by V8 motors. The entry level was the 302 and topping the list in 1972 was the powerful 429 V8. This car has its original 429 which has been well maintained and runs great. It looks all stock under the hood with a majority of the components being paint either Ford Blue or Black. The car was ordered with factory air conditioning as well as factory power brakes which are working properly. It has discs up front and drums in rear. The transmission is a C6 Automatic which shifts smoothly. The undercarriage is mostly painted Black and the floors are all solid and rust free.
The interior of the car is all original with Brown upholstery. It is really remarkable how nice and clean the interior is. It makes it very obvious that this car was well cared for and rarely driven. It has a front bench seat with folding armrest and a bench seat in the rear. The carpet, seats, headliner, dash, and door panels all look great. All of the faux wood trim and Brougham badging is in place. The dash has the original layout with all of the original knobs, switches, and gauges which are working correctly. The trunk is nicely finished out in Black and offers plenty of storage and houses the spare.
This nice LTD is an extremely well maintained survivor car and it is in great condition. If you are a fan of these LTD's this is definitely not one to pass up.
