Well after screwing around with the LTD with a few years, it was decided that i needed a fun car,so to speak, something that I didn't drive every day, and something that it wouldn't matter if it was broken down and I could just fix it when afford it. Thus the Centura was born.
Having always wanted a 2 door, ended up coming to the consensus with the wife that the early Valiant hardtops looked awesome, the search began, and after looking at 2 door vs potential cheaper 4 door options in VF/VG and some 4 door VE's, the VF hardtop look won, and the Hardtop was purchased.
