1966 Ford LTD, two-door coupe. Original V8-390 engine, automatic. A similar but separate line from the Ford Galaxie. ONLY 54k original miles! My grandma bought this car NEW in 1967 from the dealership, we are the original owners. This is a unique and impressive vehicle!

Some other notes… Car runs well. We’ve taken it around town, on the freeway, even over Snoqualmie Pass. But it does need some time to get going when turned on and doesn’t idle super well. We’ve noticed that it leaks a little oil. So some TLC will be needed to get it 100%. There’s some superficial rust and minor water leaking in the trunk. Needs a new gasket. A good amount of superficial rust spots on the original chrome inside and out. The windshield cracked last year. We’re working on getting it replaced but can’t guarantee it - might take time to find a replacement. This car is really fun to drive. People take notice! You’ll get lots of questions and compliments about it!
