Return of Old Blue

Just got the 4 door back from the shop today. Fourteen-hundred dollars later and I have a new steering box, new rear axle seals, bearings and grease, tune-up, transmission serviced, vacuume lines repaired and a few other miscellaneous things. The car runs like a dream. I can tell the rear end wasn't doing very well, it literally glides compared to before. And the power steering is once again power. Now as soon as the vinyl comes in I'll have a brand new vinly roof....

Welcome

I've always loved big old Fords, ever since 1977 when I bought a '69 2 door hardtop LTD off a friend. Cost me $250, was gold, ran great and had a dent from the front bumper to the back on the passenger side. We stuffed me and 13 UofU Math professors in it one time. Even at 6'-1" I could sleep on the front seat while waiting for friends to get out of school. So, 9 years ago when I decided I needed a convertible, I bought the 1970 LTD I still have today. Last October I flew out to L.A. with my two brothers to pick up the 4 door hardtop. Drove it home to Salt Lake without a hitch. And it even ticked off my older brother by getting better gas mileage than his Durango. Cruising through the desert at 85 MPH, like floating on air, I decided I needed to get a full set. I'm currently on the prowl for a wagon, 2 door hardtop and 4 door cop car type. Of course I have to save up the money, but the beauty of the LTD is that I can probably get the whole corral for the price of one mint condition Mustang. (Not that I don't love Mustangs, but let's face it they cost a lot more than LTD's these days).

So anyways, I was at the Utah car show the other day with my brothers and my little brothers wife and kids, and my older brother and I went in search of the great-great grandson of my LTD. All we could find was one measley Grand Marquis. Once we acheived that goal, he started talking about how I should start an LTD club online. This is it, except I decided to widen the scope. Include any and all of the not-so-popular cars of the 60's and 70's. Feel free to post, send pictures of your pride and joy. Just remember, it can't be one of the cars that "everyone" is clamoring for.....
