1971 Ford Ltd Convertible 400 V8 And Only 62,000 Miles With Factory A/c on 2040-cars

1971 Ford LTD Convertible

This is a nice car that was last owned by a collector who passed away in South Carolina.  The collector owned the car as the second owner and had the car since 27,000 miles and the car now has 62,000 original miles on it.  This is a very nice driver and has been driven less than 1500 miles per year since new.   Based on service history it looks like the car has only been driven about 2000 miles since the 1990’s so she did sit around for a while.

This car does have the optional 400 V8 engine and the very rare for a convertible factory A/C.  The compressor for the A/C does work but the system is low on R12 and needs to be topped off.  The car goes down the road very nice and starts right every time you turn the key.  Brakes are good and the tires are almost new on the car, the top is also in good condition with no rips or holes in it.  It looks like the original spare tire is still in the trunk and the jack etc. is also present in the trunk. 

I have driven this car around for the past year and it’s a fun car but with a 4 and 2 year old I am looking to sell it and buy a hardtop so they don’t get blown away in the rear seat.  The body on the car is nice and straight and the paint is nice with a few blemishes here and there (please see photos).  The car does have a couple small bubbles on the left front fender (see photo) and on the right front fender (again see photo).  The only other bubbles that I have noticed are just behind the convertible top and small amount on the deck lid (again see photos).  The car would probably benefit from a carb rebuild and tune up from sitting but like I said she starts up every time and goes down the road nice. 

As I mentioned this is a very nice driver and is well represented at local cruise nights but is not a 100 point show car by any means.  All the chrome is very respectable on the car and like I said the body is straight.  Please feel free to come and look/drive the car prior to bidding so you know exactly what you are buying or email me specific questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.  I hate to see the car go but with the kids right now this one just sits around more than anything else these days.  Car is sold in AS-IS condition.
