Arrow For Sale: 1966 LTD 2-Door Hardtop

For Sale is a very rare '66 LTD, which is the very first year for the LTD model as described in this WikiCars article:

Ford LTD - Wikicars


"Ford introduced the full-sized LTD in 1965 as a top-of-the-line Galaxie 500. In fact, in 1965 the car was known as the Galaxie LTD - it wasn't until 1966 that the LTD became a model of its own apart from the Galaxie. The LTD sedan would have a slightly more formal rear roofline than the Galaxie and Custom models, a trait that would continue until the 1973 model year."


This is a one-owner/all-original vehicle. We have all of the original paperwork that came with the car, which is important to car collectors. This car has Antique plates on it from the state of Mississippi.

Overall, this car is in excellent condition. We bought this car brand new in 1966 and it has been parked under our garage it's entire life, so there is very little rust anywhere.

It has the original 289-c.i. 2-barrel motor, automatic transmission (2 forward speeds) , rims and hubcaps. The tires are in good shape. I just replaced the timing chain cover, the water pump, thermostat, all hoses, and the fan in mid-March '08. It has power steering, manual brakes, manual windows, and the air conditioning compressor turns, but it is low on freon. The blower fan also works, but it makes noise due to lack of use.

The metal ID tag on the driver door has these numbers:

6A67C277049
63F 92 26G 634305 1 7

The body is in very good shape with only a few small defects. The paint job is a factory special order in the Thunderbird color 'Silver Mink'. It was repainted the same color a few years ago, and still looks very good.

The chrome strip below both doors need to be replaced, and I'm having a very hard time finding these parts. On eBay I have found the chrome strips that go behind the rear wheel wells, and the missing hood and trunk letters, and four almost perfect hubcaps which are much nicer than the ones in the pictures below.

The under carriage and floor boards are in excellent shape with only a thin layer of surface rust in spots, and no rust through. The floor of the trunk has one small spot the size of a dime where it has rusted through, but is in overall very good condition. The door frames, hood frame, and trunk frame are free of rust. I am in the process of restoring the floor of the trunk.

The headliner has two small holes in it. I plan to have the headliner replaced very soon. The top of the dashboard is cracked, and I'm having a hard time getting a replacement.

Other than that the car runs great, all of the lights and blinkers work, the horn works, the windows work, the seats have been re-covered and the carpet is in good shape.

The car is located in northern Mississippi just south of Memphis, TN. If you'd like to take a look at it, just let me know and we can make an appointment any day of the week. My cell phone number is 901-359-5741 and my name is Tom.


The price I'm asking for is $5500.00 or best offer. The winning bidder is responsible for picking up the vehicle from our home, and transporting it to it's destination.

Here are some photos of the vehicle and the paperwork that were taken last summer.
