Here is a 1972 Ford LTD original 429 car. It is a rust free car originally from California. The car is an absolute blast to drive and gets a ton of attention. It's an instant crowd-gatherer the few times I have driven it into town.

Some notes:
The car is running on open headers right now with no exhaust/mufflers. It sounds AMAZING like this. If you want to install mufflers - any muffler shop can put an exhaust on it for you for $700-$800 (I was quoted $750 locally).
The odometer/speedo cable is not hooked to the transmission. I don't believe this transmission is setup for it. Wasn't something I cared about personally. It is plugged off on the transmission.
No kickdown rod/cable for the transmission. This engine/trans combo has a ton of power. Trust me, it is not needed.
The Heater/Blower Motor assembly was deleted. I only intended to drive on nice weather days, so was not going to be a problem for me.
The dome light cover is cracked/broken.
Side/Parking Lights are not hooked up. Headlights, Hi-Beam, Horn, Brake Lights, and Turn Signals all function fine.
The paint/body work was not done by me. It's overall very nice, but you can see some light scratches underneath the paint in the trunk lid area. The original car color was gold, but you would never know it.
The dash was painted to be black by the previous owner. They did an excellent job, but figured it was worth disclosing.
Vinyl top was replaced right before I got the car. It is like new.
Final notes:
Keep in mind this is a 52 year old car. It is not 100% perfect and like any other 52 year old car, it is sold as-is. Please ask any questions before bidding. The vehicle is located in a locked garage with cameras and a security system. The vehicle will be released after payment has been received and cleared. Payment is due 7 days after the listing has ended.
Thanks for looking!
