I was not expecting picture #2!

Due to the paint job, from lt blue to gold, I wonder if the car was prepped for a movie with the plans to roll the LTD (given the roof supports of the cage.)

My guess is movie car of some sort. Likely stunt or backup car for chase scenes.

One of my FoMoCo friends here is looking into buying it.

I may have my Epic Road Trip after all...

I told him it might need some maintenance by the time I get back to Chicago. 






just hope I don't have to swap an engine.

Never seen a roll bar connect to the transmission tunnel.  That not being a, you know, structural element or anything.  

That dash bar is pretty funky too.

How about the red F-100 in the background?

Those don't exist rust free back here in the "fly-over" states

He had a friend out there check it out for him.  Still considering it.

The story is that it was made to film a rollover, but never used.    And now no one wants to rent it with the rollcage in it.

I just want to outrun a crooked local sheriff in it...

The engine looks like it might be a 385 Big Block.  In '71 I'm guessing a 429.  That ole crew cab would be a real goer with that plant.  

For $1100, I'd cut out that abomination of a "cage" and do donuts around the school parking lot.

They just did that so they could nearly triple the price.
