Original owner card

Just bought this to tear apart, the engine, transmission and rear end are worth the asking price.
The previous owner had owned the car for 7 years and drove it slightly less than 9000 miles in that time. She was '5 2" and on a fixed income.
The car had been named Charlene. I'm not really good driving a car with that name, so, I renamed him "Reese" after the hero in the first "Terminator".
Youtube Terminator chase scene ford ltd. The car in the movie is not a Brougham however.
I replaced all 4 window crank handles with factory ones, the dome light lens was broken, only two original hubcaps on the rear and one beat up one in the trunk.
So I'm probably in it over $2000 parts/labor, but willing to take a little loss.
One thing I've learned in 45 years of driving, an old Ford will get you there and most very likely get you back.
Kinda what Henry Ford originally set out to do, get you from "A" to "B" and back.
But what do I know?, this is only the 348th vehicle I have owned.
A good sized handful of them were Ford LTD's. Including my first car, a yellow '67 LTD 2 door with black roof and interior.
