1971 Ford LTD Convertible, K-Code 429 V8 car. Solid SF Bay Area car all of its life, sold new in San Jose, California, and in the same family since 1978. Factory red with white upholstery and top. With only about 5,800 LTD convertibles produced in ’71, the standard engine was a 400 V8, so this K-Code 429 V8 version is extremely rare. The original chrome trim complements the glossy paint job, while a white vinyl top provides an elegant contrast. Riding on 15-inch wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 tires.

The white interior offers a stunning contrast to the vibrant red exterior. The vinyl bench seats invite you to settle in for a leisurely drive, while the door panels and carpet add to the vehicle’s authentic vintage charm. The dash is adorned with bezels that have developed a gentle character over time. The factory AM radio with an 8-track player had been replaced with a modern Bluetooth stereo system, and the owner believed he still had the original radio.

Powering it is a 429 V8 topped with a single 2-barrel carburetor and mated to a C6 automatic transmission. Power steering and brakes, with front discs and rear drums. The Ford 9-inch rear axle came with an extra ring and pinion in the trunk. The air conditioning compressor engages, and the convertible top goes up and down smoothly, as do the power windows. The owner stated the mileage as original, with the first owner purchasing the vehicle at 24 miles, then sold to the second family with 68,000 miles in 1978. The vehicle was only driven around 7,000 miles since 1978. Some receipts dating back to the early 80s.
