💙Bringing a Piece of American Automotive History Back to Life! 💙

We have recently had the pleasure of detailing this stunning 1977 Ford LTD, finished in a beautiful blue that shines just as proudly today as it did nearly 50 years ago. This car was passed down through our customer's family and used to belong to his grandparents.

The 1977 Ford LTD was one of America's best-selling full-size cars during the late 1970s. Built during an era when comfort was king, the LTD featured a spacious interior, smooth ride, and classic body-on-frame construction that made it a favorite among families and road-trippers alike. It easily could fit 6 people in it!

Some fun facts about the 1977 Ford LTD:

💎 It rode on a massive 121-inch wheelbase, giving it the smooth, comfortable ride full-size cars were known for.
💎 Engine options ranged from a 302 cubic-inch V8 all the way up to a powerful 460 cubic-inch V8.
💎 The LTD's name stood for "Limited," highlighting its upscale features and luxury-inspired styling.
💎Ford sold hundreds of thousands of LTDs annually during the 1970s, making it one of the most recognizable American cars of its time.
💎The 1977 model featured updated styling with a distinctive grille and elegant chrome accents that still turn heads today.

Our goal with every classic car is to preserve its history while making it look its absolute best. From carefully cleaning every surface to restoring that deep blue shine, this Ford LTD left our shop looking ready for the next car show or Sunday cruise. It is an honor to be trusted with a legacy vehicle with sentimental value that is priceless.

This car was sent to its owner in style, with its paint revitalized and looking fresh INSIDE AND OUT with a COMPLETE EXTREME SHINE EXTERIOR DETAIL FOR CLASSIC CARS.
All of the 1999 Dodge Vipers (RT/10, GTS, and ACR) were assembled by a small team at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan rather than on a typical high-volume assembly line. A total of less than 2000 were made of the RT/10, GTS and the ACR models combined.
The Viper is an American muscle car featuring an 8.0L V10 engine. One especially cool fact: the Viper's massive 8.0-liter V10 idles with a distinctive uneven rumble that many enthusiasts can identify instantly, even without seeing the car. It's one of the most recognizable American performance-car sounds ever produced.
Unlike modern sports cars, the 1999 Viper had no traction control, no stability control and no anti-lock brakes (ABS wasn't added until 2001). The first generation's exhaust ran along the outside of the rocker panels and owners often joked that the car came with a complimentary calf burn! Every 1999 Viper came with a 6-speed manual transmission. An automatic transmission was never offered on any generation of the Viper.

Serious performance for its time.

The 1999 Viper's 8.0-liter V10 produced:
450 horsepower
490 lb.-ft of torque
0–60 mph in a neck breaking 4 seconds
Top speed around 185 mph

💥🌟🔥
1987 PORSCHE 911 Turbo Carrera aka (930T). The Porsche 930 (the factory code used for the 911 Turbo from 1975 to 1989) is an iconic supercar. Famous for its flared "whale tail" spoiler, "shark fin" rock guards, and explosive rear-engine power delivery, it is a raw, analog driver's car that commands respect. Performance was staggering for its era. The 3.3L model launches from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 4.9 seconds and achieves a top speed of 162 mph.❤️

Unlike the rear-engine Porsche 911, the Porsche 718 Boxster places its engine directly behind the seats and ahead of the rear axle. That gives it extremely balanced handling and is one reason many enthusiasts say it feels more agile than a 911 on twisty roads. "Boxster" the name combines 2 words: “boxer” (for Porsche’s flat horizontally opposed engine layout) and “roadster” (a lightweight convertible sports car)The “718” in Porsche 718 Boxster isn’t just a number—it’s a nod to Porsche’s lightweight 718 race cars from the late 1950s and early 1960s🤍

1969 Pontiac Grand Prix with 428 HO - 4 Speed, "Positraction" (General Motors' trademarked name for a limited-slip differential). will shred those poor bias ply rear tires as it launches you through the standing 1/4 mile in 14 seconds! This muscle car is considered a "holy grail" for Pontiac enthusiasts, often described as a, "unicorn" due to the rare combination of luxury, heavy weight, and a 4-speed manual. 🖤

The 1981 Porsche 928 is one of the more unique cars that was ever built by Porsche. It was designed to replace the 911 as a more modern Grand Touring car with a front mounted V8 and around 230 horsepower. A well kept 928 today is becoming increasingly collectible because Porsche built far fewer of them than the 911s. Porsche never published fully definitive production numbers for every early 928 variant, but it is estimated that about 3,700 of the 928 was produced for the 1981 model year.

The pop up headlights are famous because they rise at a unique angle instead of straight up and have become one of the car's signature design features. Also interesting, our customer's 928 featured a standard manual 5-speed dogleg gear pattern. It was called this because first gear sits off to the side and second and third gear have a more simple straight path up and down to make shifting gears easier, one of the coolest vintage characteristics of this car.
