The 1971 Ford LTD Convertible Coupe was the first of its kind for the legendary automobile manufacturer, and one of the last as well. This was one of 5,750 LTD Convertibles made in 1971.

This incredibly spacious car is a true luxury ride, with plenty of room for those of us of generous dimensions, even in the back seat. It is designed for 6 passengers, seat belts for all. I have owned and enjoyed this car since 1988 and drove it daily until the fall of 1998. At that time, I decided to have the engine rebuilt and have it painted and the top replaced. Since that time, I have gone through the brakes, fuel tank, replaced the radiator, had bumpers re-chromed and did my best to make it a great car ready to drive anywhere. It is a real eye-catcher wherever you go.

This car has been freshly painted and has no rust. The engine has been completely rebuilt with new pistons, cam, lifters, timing components, and bearings. The brakes have been completely upgraded including new calipers, pads, hardware, rear shoes, rear wheel cylinders and new brake hardware. The radiator is new, as are the water pump and fuel pump. All tune up parts are new. The fuel tank has been replaced with a new one. The wheels and tires are new, 15” Cragar SS wheels. I still have the original wheel covers in excellent condition. The LTD has a new top and new carpet that matches the original.  I also have a second new top in the box and a new carpet also in the box. The bumpers have both been re-chromed and are in perfect condition. The engine and transmission are original to the car. The 400 CID with the C6 transmission are ready to go. The NADA retail for this car is $15,942.00

Full-size Fords were totally restyled for 1971. The look begins with a prominent vertical grille theme evolved from 1969-1970 LTDs and XLs. Headlamps are exposed, but set in deep cavities that flanked the central grille. The trailing edge of the domed hood conceals the windshield wipers. On the sides, a pair of creases bulges out from the far ends of the car, then fade again toward the middle. A large inset cove under the trunk lid holds the taillights, which are a three-section design on LTDs and Broughams. Inside, there is a new, flatter instrument panel. The instrument panel was newer and flatter than in previous models. A power ventilation system was newly standard. Growing concerns about vehicle safety were addressed by steel "Guard Rails" now built inside each door.

LTD standard equipment includes power front disc brakes, a self-regulating clock, and wood grain interior appliques. The convertible added vinyl upholstery and a five-ply vinyl power top (in a choice of white or black) with a tempered glass rear window. Soft-top prices began at $4,094.Vinyl interior was one of the LTD's standard options. Power comes from a 260-bhp 400 V-8 with a two-barrel carburetor. Other accessories include power steering, power front seat, AM/FM stereo, air conditioning, and deluxe wheel covers.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore

Thu, Jan 11 2024

The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery.  A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
