Former Loveland Ford dealership site sells for $6.85M

LOVELAND — It would appear that the old Ford dealership in Loveland will once again be home to an auto dealership. At least the buyer is in the car business.

The property at 999 E. Eisenhower Blvd., where Loveland Ford had its home until opening a new dealership location farther east on Eisenhower, has been sold to a company called Gen121 LLC, which lists an address of 1500 E. County Line Road in Highlands Ranch with the secretary of state. That’s the same address as a used-car dealership named ClearShift, the trade name for VanderWal Motorcar Co. Inc.

Selling price was listed as $6.85 million.
