Bayrain Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) A 1972 Ford LTD I picked up from someone local in Arizona. I don't really want to get rid of it but recent expenses and other projects have gotten more annoying. AC, power steering, power windows, power locks,cruise control. I do have the keys, clean title. Runs and drives. 3 speed automatic with a V8 400. Needs the dash board reconnected and air vents placed in, and a fresh clear coat. I bought a new carburetor as the old one is shot and causes 96% of the cars mechanical problems. Took all the missing pieces off a Galaxie 500 parts car to replace or add missing parts so the car is complete. All lighting and accessories work, just the dash is not hooked up nor do I know what I need for that. Could use a quick repair across the head liner and the front seat could be cleaned up. New starter, distributor cap, carburetor (not installed, holley two barrel), new plugs, new radiator hoses, new valve covers,new battery, new starter, new fuel pump and electric fuel pump replacement, 2 new tires, 3 "new" hubcaps,new fuel gauge for the gas tank, flushed the gas tank 3 months ago and the fuel lines, and new radiator. Replaced the grill with the perfect conditioned one of the parts car. Replaced headlights . I do have the 500 parts car I will throw in too, don't need it and it still has its engine and transmission as well. Would to trade for a 68 to 72 GM motors project car (Specifically a Buick Skylark), but looking for around $4,000 very negotiable. Send a message and I can give you my number or email, located in Tucson,AZ. Edited September 16, 2022 by Bayrain (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayrain Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Replaced the carb, attached the cruise control, got it running. I just need to adjust the timing to get it to run right, once I figure out how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Tharp Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 A fan shroud would probably help the over heating problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would, I have a fan shroud for the car, just haven't taken the time to figure out what to Uninstall first to install it, need to find a way to secure it as well.

Bayrain Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Got the car running perfectly. Problem now the radiator ends up empty after driving it for a day or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
