"1969 Ford LTD 2 Door Hardtop
""LTD by Ford. If you've never owned a Ford before, you're one of the reasons we built this one. It has a track as wide as a Cadillac's, for great road hugging. A wheelbase longer than a Chevrolet's, for a smooth ride. A turning circle smaller than a Plymouth's, for easy parking. More trunk space than a Buick LeSabre. And a big Front Room nobody else offers. It also has a lot of people looking, test driving, and changing their minds about Ford."" From the 1969 LTD print ad.
For consignment, 1969 Ford LTD two door hardtop showing 3,500 miles, but the true miles are unknown. We don't see many LTD's at Classic Auto Mall. Why? They were common commuter cars meant to be used and used up and although they made up 28% of Ford's production in 1969, they represented only 2.1% of the domestic market at that time. So, of the 164,000 produced in 1969, there simply aren't that many that have survived.
Exterior
Single stage Light Aqua covers the big car smoothly and you might be surprised to learn this is the original color of the car at a time when only muscle cars veered from the earth tones and standard hues of the day. Typically, you'd see a brown LTD in a car chase of your favorite private eye television show, but the distinctive covered headlights and grated grille look fantastic against an aqua background, wonderfully sculpted to form a center pillar with horizontal fins. The slab sided cruiser is complemented by a wide and rounded C-pillar delineated from the body with surrounding trim. But oh baby, it's the back of this car that may be the star. Fantastic square tail lights with starburst centers over a panel of red reflectors that span the entire width. 17-inch Torque Thrust wheels give the pedestrian car a muscular look, wrapped in 50 series tires. Rust bubbles down low and various chips and mars make up the entire list of exterior imperfections.
Interior
Standard aqua vinyl door panels present cleanly with simulated wood accents and a compact window crank. The split bench is showroom fresh with tweed inserts between aqua vinyl borders and headrests and the rear bench mirrors color and condition. The steering wheel shows some patina and leads to a curving dashboard resplendent in simulated wood, including a scuff, and horizontal in execution. An AM/FM radio is located high and left on the dash with levers for vents and wipers down low, a unique and efficient layout. Blue loop carpet below is in excellent condition and the aqua headliner is high and tight. The LTD's large trunk shows usage, now mostly barren with a gray cloth mat, spare tire, and jack.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a presentable 351ci Windsor V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor in front of an FMX 3-speed automatic. Power is sent to the mighty Ford 9"" in back with 2.75 gears and power brakes are supplied as new front discs and rear drums. Our consignor states a new battery is on board.
Undercarriage
Driver quality but very clean underneath with some typical and minimal surface rust and residual oil on the pan. Clean dual exhaust travel through FlowMaster mufflers and exit behind the rear quarter panels, out of sight. Suspension is made up of coil springs in the front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar in back.
Drive-Ability
As we settle in the Barnaby Jones theme fills our brain for some reason. But the car starts up and is ready for a chase scene as we track it around the test loop at modest speeds. The 351 delivers good power and assisted braking means quick stops. Surely, this wheel and tire set up provides better grip and we're pretty sure Barnaby would have benefited from them on the twisty roads of Malibu Canyon and the stock tires of his '73 LTD. The fuel gauge is inaccurate, but all other functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
This car will not be here long, meaning LTD stands for limited time! It's cool, relatively rare, well sorted, and an absolute bargain. If you're looking to get into the show car and collector world, this one is a great option. Though originally a commuter car, it now sounds muscular and looks great and we'll end our description here so you can make the call!
