    Production # For 1970 Ford Ltd- No Options!

    I Just Acquired A 1970 Ford Ltd.

    28,000 Mile Car, Very Well Kept.
    This Car Does Not Have Any Options!

    3-speed Manual On Column, No Clock, No Radio, No Power Anything.

    How Would I Be Able To Find How Many Ltd's Were Order Optionless ?

    Try this site: http://www.martiauto.com/
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Here it is :
    http://www.carad.com/status/Showroom...isting=8987646

    After reading the 1970 dealer brochure for the car, 3-speed manual w/ the 351 V8 was standard eguipment.

    This is a very nice piece.

    I traded my wife's 1977 Triumph TR7, title for title, & he provided the transport company. I thought it was to good to be true.
    I've had the car for three weeks now.
    All it needs is good detailing & some fresh tires.

    This has to be a very rare piece being ordered w/out any options.

    I first thought the vinyl top was an option, but the brochure doesn't list it as an option. It just states "w/ available vinyl top".

    My late grandfather ordered a '70 Broughm 4 door hardtop in yellow with black top and cloth interior. All he ordered for it was an automatic and limited slip rear end. He traded it in for a '78 LTD after the frame rusted & broke.

    The ad isn't listed anymore.
    "available vinyl top" would mean that the vinyl top was an option.

    I asked if the car was green, because it seems whenever a pristine original low mileage car is found, they are usually green. Don't know why thwt is.

    At least Ford coordinated green with green.

    The chooser of colours for General Motors must have been color blind.

    Mustard yellow exteriors with green interiors, for example.

    It was also on ebay here:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3492484&rd=1,1

    I'll have to read the brochure again, but it didn't list the vinyl top under options ???
    Maybe it was a no cost option?

    I'm going to place an order here www.martiauto.com.
    $220.00 for thr elite package..........ouch.

    I wonder if that is also the price to locate the VIN for my grandfather's LTD.

    Brian it may well be. They have all of Ford's records on vehicle orders from the '50s, 60's and '70s, from what I've read. If you call Ford archives they will refer you to that place.
