Classic FORD Convertible
1970 LTD XL - can not find 'Galaxie' anywhere on it, but I think it is? I'm sure that most of you would know more about that than me.
Belonged to my late father - he loved this car. He had the 390 motor bored for more horsepower - I don't have the specs on that. He did race it at the local drag strip once or twice, though. It runs great. Starts well. Buyer would need to bring their own battery, as we have swapped in one from a tractor here. Odometer reads 12991 - so I am fairly sure that means 112,991 miles. It is an automatic.
Body is in very good condition so far as I can tell. The paint is still shiny. There are a couple of small knicks; there is a scrape on the edge of the hood; I have a photo posted of that area. The chrome is starting to get some light surface rust. The tailpipes have surface rust.
The interior is also good. White leather; black carpet. The knobs on the rear window cranks are there, but not attached. Some light discoloration on the white leather; see interior photos.
He had added a cassette player and speakers.
The convertible top works very well. It is in fairly good condition; no leaks that I have noticed. The rear corners - at the base of the window - are torn - there is a photo of the window. There is a spot that looks like oil towards the back of the top - there is a photo of the spot.
Clear PA title.
Please feel free to ask any questions -
Buyer must pay within 7 days of auction end.
Thank you.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
