1972 Ford LTD Country Squire

I like how his photos are taken at car shows. At least he gets the car out. Too bad he couldn't provide more than four photos, and none are of the interior nor of the engine. Three of the photos are pretty much redundant. The photo above shows the original wheels, which are apparently not what's on the car now, based on the wording in his ad.

Woodgrain is pretty badly faded. His price is not unreasonable.

 

Looks like a decent car. I'd put a bit taller tire on it if keeping the Mustang wheels. As a 44-year-old, I sure remember riding in a lot of wagons like this back in my childhood! I remember that 70's "Ford Smell", and the way the door latches clicked when you opened them.

 

Super clean underneath. Does that make up for the more than moderately faded woodgrain/surround rails and justify the price? Gotta think that one over.

Sorry 81X11, hate those wheels. If it were me, I'd tell the seller to keep them and knock a few $s off the price. I'm a stock wheel and tire (or as close to it as can be had for reasonable money). Standard wheel covers on the '71/72 were a little too plain for me, though. Unfortunately, the deluxe wheel covers are hard to find in good condition and very expensive when they are found.

 

Looks to be as nice as the ‘71 in NC on eBay fo more than twice the price.

 

I think it's a good car and fair value. The interior is probably like new. Those year Ford's had vinyl interiors that were built ford tough. Good clean driver for five grand. If the engine is original then it's the higher power one. Nice shot of the clean undercarriage also. Interior pics would be nice but if your truly interested you will call and go look anyways.
