Used 1972 Ford LTD for sale in Carey, IL

This is a really authentic, great condition Ford LTD 4 door sedan. The car is very original in most aspects and is a rare and wonderful find. Although not necessarily considered a "collectable" by purist standards, its sheer condition makes her so. This is a genuine 2 owner car that spent most of its life in Florida before coming to Illinois some 5 years ago. The mileage shows 86,000 and we understand this car was driven like any normal car up to 1980 and then just parked and tucked-away for the whole time since. This is evidenced by the 1980 Florida registration sticker still on the windshield. We do not know whether this is true mileage but every indication says no. In fact, with the interior being so "perfect", you would think a lot less miles. It still sports its original spare tyre that has NEVER been used. These tyres have not been in production for more than 30 years now. Finished in Medium Gold (metallic) it comes with a perfect 70's combination medium brown interior. The fabric on the seats ate simply perfect with a single tear or pulled thread. This LTD has been recently gone over by a local work-shop and everything is in good operating condition. A new system was fitted ($800) as the original one was completely "thin". This was done by the archaelogists who discovered her in the barn. Having said that, as a result, the engine runs smooth and powerful. Brakes are good and the car stops sure. All features and functions work well. The paint on the entire car is about 75% original with only the front right fender showing some repair. The body is mostly rust free but for some light scale in some areas. This is strictly "paint-deep" surface rust from barn sitting. The underside is clean. The whole car is very straight, accident free and has never had any body repair. This is evidenced by the original factory stickers and markings on the inside edges and under the hood. For original paint, it is stunning with a good luster and shine. There are nicks, little dents and minor chips but nothing major and certainly nothing that needs repairing. It simply looks great from close and afar. Although not perfect, VERY impressive for a 50 year old car! The vinyl roof is original and does show some signs of "breaking down", but unless you are completely anal retentive, it needs not any attention. All rubber, glass and trim fixtures are in wonderful condition without any signs of fading, marks or scratches. The hubcaps are without any scuffs or rashes and look good. The bumpers and wheel arch mouldings are virtually prefect. The interior is absolutely fantastic! Finished in brown vinyl with brocade cloth seat-facings, she looks incredibly sharp. The dash is perfect without any sun-fading or cracking. All the vinyl, faux wood and carpets are great. The dash cluster is clean and straight. The steering wheel does have one crack. The seats are in simply amazing presentation and condition, totally original and tidy. Even at the rear parcel shelf and seat top. The interior condition is surely the best testament for a low mileage example. Carpets, door panels, handles, switches, knobs and every little item is excellent. The headliner is good without any tears or marks. Otherwise perfect. The interior is without doubt a 9.5 out of 10. Just stunning. The car all round is very original in all respects. Sporting original hubcaps on original rims.
