Vehicle Detail

Unfortunately, after 7 years in Greensboro we're moving west on the 26th of June.Fortunately for Ford and classic enthusiasts, I'm offering up my solid 1970 LTD at a super low price.The basics:- 100% rust free - chrome and stainless are also in excellent condition- repainted at some point in its original "W-Code Yellow (or "Gold")"- brand new vinyl roof from Newstalgia Parts- factory strong 390 ci with the original 2-barrel 4120 Autolite professionally rebuilt by Champion Carb in TX- factory C6 3-speed transmission- factory front discs with rear drums - new rebuilt Bendix booster- new Cardone master cylinder- new PMP combination proportioning valve - (69,70 and 71 had a separate PV and obsolete metering valve so the system needed updating anyways)- new points, condenser, fresh oil/filter, etc.- A/C removed - 100 lbs less and a bit more HP- clock delete- perfect factory headliner and velour/gold vinyl upholstery - just excellent- perfect gold vinyl door panels- correct 1970 owners manual- super rare wiring and vacuum diagrams will be included- a complete set of Ford factory service manuals (A HUGE PLUS)- AM/FM radio but little to no sound...- cruises silently and smoothly at 60 mph all day long- brand new 17" Ridler 675 series with new Firestone FR710s - identical diameter and offset to original wheels (also included)I purchased this in March 2015 from Welford Harris Ford as a daily driver and project, but the company is moving us in a hurry. It had a bad booster and vacuum leaks were affecting idle, brakes, etc. Fast-forward to today, I've sealed all tube joints and branches with RTV, replaced the booster and had the carb rebuilt at Champion Carb in Texas, and while the start and idle and acceleration are fine, the booster is missing its "reaction bumper" - the brakes are super-strong and balanced front and rear - but way too reactive. Until the reaction bumper is installed you have to feather the brakes with a light foot - too much and it'll easily lock up.A new reaction bumper is coming from Prior Brake in Dallas (they did the rebuild) and should be here by Weds the 18th. Installation will be less than 5 minutes.Only other thing I would do if I had time (my company will not move the car, only our Acura) would be to get a vacuum booster pump from MasterPower in Mooresville - the idle vacuum is nice and smooth at -14 inches, but all boosters operate much better at -15 to 18". I can only wonder if the engine was recammed at some point - I've set timing it at the factory 10 degrees - it was at 6 when I bought it.Thanks for looking - a clean NC title in my name and a bill of sale will be ready for you.
