This LTD is equipped with the F-Code 302ci V8 matted to a C4 automatic and features power steering, power brakes with front discs, rally pack gauges, and A/C.

This beauty is in exceptional cosmetic and mechanical condition and runs and drives without any issues. The A/C blows cold, all the gauges work, and the radio does as well. This is as close to a showroom new 1978 LTD II as one could possibly get 36 years later. The car is essentially a 1-owner vehicle as the 2nd ownership history is only a few months long. The first owner was a Ford executive and held onto it over all the years. The car was gone through and any gasket, seal, rubber, etc. that need to be replaced for road worthiness was done so.

The car comes with the original wheels and tires, all of the original documents from new (window sticker, owner's manual, warranty card, title, Ford parking permit, Ziebart warranty, Michelin tire warranty, sales literature, etc.), original 24 Shell Gasoline booklets for car maintenance and safe driving, all 5 volumes for 1978 Ford shop manuals, original catalytic converters, original mud flaps, replacement air filter, a replacement oil filter, and original keys. Good luck finding another one in this unbelievable original condition with this much documentation, and life-long single ownership history. Call for further details.
