Im relisting the car due to another non paying no contact bidder. This LTD is a true gem a real survivor for sure. I found it at an estate sale locally,and bought it on the spot. I purchased it from the original owner an old gentleman who was downsizing his estate in general, the car has 49,000 documented original miles on it. You see cars advertised with low miles, the miles on this car are actual not turned over. He saved all the service records from 66 , it was purchased from a local dealer here in CO and lived its entire life in the garage I have the thank you letter from the dealership and the hard plastic dealer service card still in its case. This car has the 390 power plant and runs perfect, turn key and purs, also stops and shifts smoothly, the car has all the options of the day ,rear heat and air as well. Its the original Wimbledon white with a burgundy interior, there is a slightly worn area on the drivers side rear seat other than that the interior is beautiful along with the factory floor mats that kept the carpet so nice, headliner and rear package area are just beautiful, all the bells and whistles work, engine cold warning light and flashing red parking brake reminder. Has the original spare and jack, I just put new tires on it ,replaced the battery and starter along with a complete tuneup with all the fluids changed, also a new heater core. The wheels still had the paper stickers on the backs with the ford part numbers, it rides like a magic carpet smooth and quiet ,typical of the higher end 60s luxury cars,but still retains a sportier look. The chrome and stainless trim are impeccable,right down to the chrome gas door trim, the grill is highly sought after and is immaculate. Frame and floor pans have no rust or issues whatsoever, the factory overspray is still visible behind the fenders, this was evident when I replaced the heater core. Everything is still factory original and everything works,horn, heater, AC,cigarette lighter. There is a slight crease in the passenger side door and a few scratches on that side along with some dings in the quarter, also a piece of wheelhouse trim is missing same side . The rear of the trunk has a few dings and some scratches ,the LTD badge is broken out also ,the badges come up here from time to time and I will replace in the interum if one is available. Previous owner had trouble parking it towards the last of his driving days. All the glass and rubber seals are perfect and the doors hood and trunk shut with that firm solid feel, windows roll up and down perfectly. The car is certainly not 100% show car however it is in fantastic original condition for a 47 year old vehicle, feels like it was driven off the lot. Overall its a beautiful example of 60s classic Ford, solid powerful and comfortable, this is a turn key start up and go car ,drives anywhere with absolutely no issues other than the constant thumbs up from others. I have to ask that if you make an offer or intend on purchasing the car please follow through and be sincere , also please consider the asking price when making an offer. A lot goes into an auction so lets not waste each others time. I will require a $1000.00 non refundable pay pal deposit at the close of the auction and the remainder within 5 days before the car is released .Please ask any and all questions BEFORE making an offer, after the fact is not the time, I will be happy to answer all, Thanks .
