Classic FORD Convertible
1970 LTD XL - can not find 'Galaxie' anywhere on it, but I think it is? I'm sure that most of you would know more about that than me.
Belonged to my late father - he loved this car. He had the 390 motor bored for more horsepower - I don't have the specs on that. He did race it at the local drag strip once or twice, though. It runs great. Starts well. Buyer would need to bring their own battery, as we have swapped in one from a tractor here. Odometer reads 12991 - so I am fairly sure that means 112,991 miles. It is an automatic.
Body is in very good condition so far as I can tell. The paint is still shiny. There are a couple of small knicks; there is a scrape on the edge of the hood; I have a photo posted of that area. The chrome is starting to get some light surface rust. The tailpipes have surface rust.
The interior is also good. White leather; black carpet. The knobs on the rear window cranks are there, but not attached. Some light discoloration on the white leather; see interior photos.
He had added a cassette player and speakers.
The convertible top works very well. It is in fairly good condition; no leaks that I have noticed. The rear corners - at the base of the window - are torn - there is a photo of the window. There is a spot that looks like oil towards the back of the top - there is a photo of the spot.
Clear PA title.
Please feel free to ask any questions or make an offer.
Buyer must pay within 7 days of auction end.
Thank you.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
