The story
One owner from Sept. 1983 until Sept. 2004. I'm the third owner. The car is just about like new -- it has NO rust, which is virtually unheard of in Northern Michigan on ANY car, let alone a 21-year-old Ford. All the power toys work; it drives like a new LTD. Who knew that a 35-year-old car nut would like a floaty old Ford Tallship like this?? — noodlenoggin
