  • Page Rad is a dude who knows how to party. He also has a knack for crusty classic cars with big american v8's. This is his 1974 Ford LTD dubbed "The Drinking Step Dad" and the name feels rather appropriate.

    When I was in high school, a buddy of mine had (if I remember correctly) a '76 4-door. He lived out in the South Dakota farmland. He and I went on some over the top gravel road excursions, and he just absolutely THRASHED the thing. I mean tortured it to hell and back. All while laughing our asses off. We had some great times in that big-ass boat, this vid brought back some awesome memories. That thing never quit even after all the abuse. "Rev it up!!!" as my friend used to say... constantly.

      Nobody thought a thing about them. They were overgrown slugs, they were slow and handled like boats, and sucked down the gas in a time when gas prices were on the rise. These cars are the reason the Japanese got such a strong foothold in the US. The year this car was made my friend bought a mint ‘67 4 speed convertible GTO for $700 bucks. We thought he was crazy. I sure do miss those days.

Without ever pulling it out of the garage(it had no brakes) he'd push against the concrete block halfwall, and go into a hell jelly with it. Good times!

    4800 lbs should be spot on. I had a 1972 with a 351 Cleveland, man I miss that car. Unfortunately got rear ended by a 16 year old in a 82 Prelude doing 65 mph while stopped for a red light. She never saw the light, never braked! Knocked me into the 83 LTD in front of me and them into the Pinto in front of them. Bent the entire rear, frame and all, 45 degrees at the back of the rear wheels. Flat bed tow truck's winch couldn't pull it up the ramp, had to get in & fire it up, floor it shredding tires every where to help the guy load it. Firmly convinced if I hadn't been in an old school land yacht I wouldn't be alive today.😲

      Which has absolutely nothing with the topics other than sitting around on the internet attention seeking.

    It looks just like my 1974 LTD I had as a teenager. It had a 429, and was a two door, which was unusual for the two door. Many memories were made in that car.
