Just arrived home after collecting the latest addition to my garage, a 1966 LTD. These are pretty rare down here in Australia, I can't say I have seen another.

It has had a cheap respray at some stage, has a few scratches and dents and has a few small rust bubbles in the lower doors. But for a 50 year old car, it is in quite good condition.

Luckily, the original owner only ticked two option boxes, air conditioning and Q code 428 engine. The aircon is not connected, but I have all the parts. Otherwise, apart from the window washer bottle, the car has no missing or incorrect parts. The original air cleaner is in the trunk.

I also got the original owners handbook and the broadcast sheet with the car. Seems that the original owner was Frank O. King, the cartoonist responsible for the "Gasoline Alley" strip.

Overall, I'm very happy with the car, it drives beautifully. I plan to keep it mostly original, get all the aircon working and enjoy driving it. Eventually, I may get a decent paint job done in original Wimbledon white. It's just nice to have a comfortable family cruiser, as most of my other cars are angry street/strip beasts.
