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.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When 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.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
