1970 Ford LTD

The Ford LTD (pronounced ell-TEE-dee) is a range of automobiles manufactured by Ford Motor Company for the 1965 to 1986 model years. Introduced as the highest trim level of the full-size Ford model range, then the Galaxie, the LTD offered options and features that had previously been reserved for more luxurious Lincoln and Mercury models. The largest vehicle produced by Ford in North America for most of its production, the LTD was joined by the intermediate Ford LTD II from 1977 to 1979; the LTD II served as the replacement for the Torino/Gran Torino range. At various times throughout its production, the LTD range included two- and four-door pillared and hardtop sedans, a two-door convertible, and the Country Squire five-door woodgrain station wagon.
1970: The split grille was discontinued; while its Mercury Marquis counterpart continues its Lincoln-style fascia, Ford redesigned the front end of the LTD with a three-segment grille with a prominent center section a modified version of the 1970 Ford Thunderbird and Continental Mark III. All LTDs got a new federally-mandated locking steering column and wheel, with the ignition switch located on the right side of the column. For model year 1970 the LTD received a new luxury trim package called the LTD Brougham which came with optional equipment on other models as standard and was offered on the four-door sedan, four-door hardtop and two-door hardtop and a black vinyl padded roof. It was a similar approach used for only 1967 on the Mercury Park Lane Brougham which was a four-door sedan or four-door hardtop only.

I did a lot of the work on that car. Lowering, suspension, and steering rebuild, carburetor rebuild, electronic ignition, and tune up. Also, a few small things. It's a very solid car with original drive train. Someone will be getting a really nice car.

110%.

[@B3burner]

Mitch, thank you so much for all you did. The car ran like a dream, but I thought I wanted out of the classic car hobby. There are days I regret my decision to sell it, but the Caddy’s been good to me as well. Can’t keep them all.

Auto!

[@B3burner]

What a coincidence! This used to be my car. I owned it 2016-2019, in Oakdale, CA. It is a strong runner and looks sharp. I hope the new owner enjoys it for years to come.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Hi B3, I'm not sure why it has been removed because I sure as heck didn't do it. I see it in the history. Did you post something that might have been flagged? PS : Really enjoyed this car for a bit!

[@B3burner]

@@vintagecarconnections I gave the cities where I bought it, where I live, and where the person I sold it to lives- just cities though… no addresses. I guess KZbin doesn’t like that. Were you able to find replacement glass for the cracked windshield? That was something I could never find. And good job finding a proper matching passenger side view mirror. That was another thing I was unsuccessful in finding.

[@vintagecarconnections]

@@B3burner Perhaps.. Yes, internet is a powerful tool :)

The 69-70 model years were the best😍

My Dads friend had one of these, I used to ask for a ride home from the ice rink in it. Gorgeous car.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Thank you.

[@georgewilson1184]

Very nice love that driver wrap around instrument panel I love the front end I just like the tail lights on the 69 a wee bit more and the fact that it is a coupe makes it super great for me

Nice car good video, My Dad had a 1969 with the 390. Was a great car good memories.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Where is it now?

[@Rob_Harrison]

@@vintagecarconnections Well can't say with certainty but if I had to guess scrap yard recycling maybe a lucky man got it. when I was 16 got my first job at an automotive detail shop took the limited skills I learned into taking that car from being covered in moss and mildew I think made it very good. My Dad was very impressed.. I offered to buy it.. My Dad liked it and the offer. Mum would not have it so when they moved car was towed

[@amyh3223]

4:36 Road demon in triple black Looks like where they shot the movie dual. These were my favorite cars for the pretty tail lights, coke bottle rear fender, reverse lights integrated in the bumber , grill and hidden headlamps with protruding nose in the middle of the grill.

[@albertfarraro5523]

It does look like the road from the movie Duel. I think if Dennis Weaver had this car, he would have no problem getting away from that truck.😊

[@walterbright1396]

Great looking car. We had a Galaxy 500 w/351W. First car that I can remember as a kid my parents owned that could drive effortlessly at 80-100 mph on an interstate before the energy crisis. But watching that handle on that twisty road was making me sea sick. Cars have come along way in 50 years. It certainly is beautifully restored though.

[@leecordell7418]

Just seeing this now! If only I had found it when 4 sale!! Best looking LTD ever! Best looking big Ford I think ever made!

The '70 XLs were slightly better looking, the only difference being the fastback roof. I still own my '70 XL and I used to have a '70 LTD also.

[@cheftomsd]

[@scottmccoy5688]

King of the World, Scott Anthony McCoy love's that car, looks Mopar good ! I need to be driving that beauty. Grandson of Austin McCoy is one of my grandpa's cars ??? Love it !!! 👑🌎👍👍👍🐺😎

[@jamesharris2615]

NICE‼️. I see suffer with the "brown" raised letter tires like a lot of us do... Try a pumice stone and heavy duty Purple Power cleaner. For stubborn bleed over, some 200 grit sandpaper works. They'll probably continue to bleed over every few weeks or so but the stone and heavy duty degreaser will keep them in good shape.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Good advise! Thanks!

[@DiecastD414]

I like it.❤

[@mckessa17]

I have not seen one of these in years

[@vintagecarconnections]

They are quite rare! Even if you are around old cars all of the time.

[@clementjohnson2666]

Ahhhh yes , those were the days . I would take " That" car over anything that Detroit puts out nowadays .

[@vintagecarconnections]

They’re actually putting out some fun stuff lately! But nevertheless this is a badass ride. I would question which key to pick up on the way out the door. 😉

[@michaelfogerty9954]

[@wilsixone]

Although nicely done I'd ditch the exhaust tips. Edit: I see they're not tips. I'm just partial to OEM exhaust parts, but you did an amazing job with this car!

[@vintagecarconnections]

Thanks for the nice words, in this specific case my job was advertising. The credit would have to go to 2 commentator here who actually did all the heavy lifting and coincidentally found this video on YT! What are the odds? Might be a good idea to look at their channel : Mitch Lopina, B3_Burner Good day!

That's a pretty car there until you get to the ugly exhaust tips and especially the loud exhaust which for some unknown reason, folks with old cars think they all need to sound loud and obnoxious. It would do better with a stock exhaust and having its a/c compressor installed back into it.
