I bought this 1970 LTD 4 years ago. Prior to that it sat covered for 11 years. It needs painting. Has some rust and only one dent about the size of a dime on the hood. It's AS IS. Will not stay running. A good car to restore. I drove it for 3 years off and on and in the winter because it had a better heater than my Explorer. My only complaint was the driver seat vinyl is all gone and the radio is AM signal. While I drove it, It ran fine. It was slow shifting on cold mornings but after the 3rd or 4th shift it did fine the rest of the day. Always started nicely. We purchased the LTD from a small lot in Jeffersonville Indiana and paid $1500.00. This LTD has new tires. In addition, I put about another $800 in parts. The original owners live (and still do) 3 streets from us. I think we put about 3,000 miles on the engine while we had it. Now, it starts sometimes, sometimes it won't. Turns good like it's going to start but just won't stay running or stalls at a red light. Be ready to hall it away, not drive it. I drove it about 6 weeks ago around the neighborhood, but out of fear of it stopping and me having to pay to have it towed, I parked it and there it sits still. More info: 390 engine, flip up headlights, 2nd owner, all original and solid body. Engine still turns freely, and will even start up but will die when accelerating. On occasion will start and drive. body is in relatively good condition, with small amounts of rust on bottom panels. interior is good except drivers seat is heavily damaged. new tires, water pump, fan clutch, belts, alternator, points, spark plugs, distributor rotor, starter solenoid and ignition coil. Radio is pulled out but works perfect.
