- The is trying to save the classics. A few years ago this one along with the rest of these out front would have been parted out. Now.will.they sell is the question. This 1977 4 door Ford LTD Landau looks to have the best chance as it appears the closest to being roadworthy. The interior looks pretty mint. The exterior looks very straight as well. Under the hood all seems to be in tact. Now the only thing is the price of $1695. Is that a good deal?
Nice ride! Looks pretty solid too. For that price, get it running, a good cleaning inside and out and cruise.
I sure hope somebody will save this one, it’s way to nice to sit in a salvage yard👍
My grandmother had a 77 LTD. It was sky blue on the outside and royal blue interior.
love my Fords....thank you Benny !
Definitely worth saving 👍
I bought a 2 door and I've been doing lots of restoration as well as redesigning A bumper tuck deletes the plastic fillers. Jov3s the front in 4 inches and the rear in 6 inches.lioks like the 1972 cars did. The door pin pecs sleeve on the pin in the door jamb that latch hooks onto to make the doors close easy and not jiggle. Reflector delete in all 4 lights use switch back bulbs in the front for white parking yellow blinker fiunction.a set of e code h4/h1 hella brand conversion 5in round headlights. The front grille I remove the smaller mesh and file so it has the big squares only, and bedliner the inner plastic vs black paint.looks great takes a full day to modify. Mirror window tint and I've a special way to polish all the aluminum trim, I remove and bench polish and reinstall it all. Lincoln side mirrors looks better than stock ones.
The 84-89 version hub. Caps very similar to factory. A wood steering wheel that mounts up 2 inches closer to the dash vs factory for a shorter driver or very tall,that extra 2inches makes it just right.its 15 in not 13 like most aftermarket are 5oo small for a big car. Next will be dual exhaust HEI, new carberator and a new 4 speaker sound system with cassette. Next will be the seats in my car to leather fr I m an elderado barrits. Eurathane restore window weather stripping. Silicone heate4 hoses new core,and reseal all the pipes with green Orings for the ac system to prevent that common comment it probably needs a recharge of freon...as said in every used car video. Spend a month with your car 8 hours a day $1500.00 in parts a d Then You Will Have A great Old Cqr To Drive Everyday.
That car $1800÷$1200 shipping+$1500 = $4500 pus tax tag and a months labor then you have a good car that won't be following a 5ow truck. And remember NON-ETHANOL ENHANCED GASOLINE ONLY. It's worth the extra 80 cents a gallon in non failing fuel pumps and fuel tank senders.....
Lots of memories here. I had a "76 LTD Landau 2 door. Black and silver color, with wine colored crushed velvet power seats, ac, power windows and a clumbsy 400 Windsor V8 lol..
Very underrated car, tbh. The 4-door's lines are so good, too. Very easily savable.
Nice ride! Always liked the style. I hope it sells
Awesome car
Damn I hate being broke and poor
Hey Classic Ride!! I remember being 14yrs old and seeing these in the Sunday paper for $500 or less.. Awesome cars.Great video.
I love that LTD Benny with the cornering lights on the bottom front fenders and the mirrors on both sides. and the bumper stickers Benny
LTD,Street’s of San francisco style cool ride
🏁 Benny that car definitely would be worth saving!! Wood make a great restoration project. 🇺🇲 🏁 🏁 🏁 😎 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁
A boat, land boat that is.
That one has been there a minute though when I was out there last they wanted $2500 for it. Curious they dropped the price. Now is that a Dart next to it? Thats new. Can't wait for the video on it!
Which yard? I was thinking somewhere in fort worth but I'm unsure.
@@Monaghan Its actually down in Elm Mott, Close to Waco...place is called BYOT
@@falconman9554 thank you!
@@Monaghan Not a problem man.
I have my grandparents 77 ltd in my garage I inherited it 2001 after my grandmother passed away, I got the original title back in 2001 showed it had 26000 miles when she bought in 1986 from the neighbor it now has 43000 miles only taken out in the summer
If it runs and drives. Go for it.
Always. Watch for. Your. Videos. For. Some. Reason. UA-cam. Wouldn’t. Let. Me subscribe. Until today. You filmed so many. Nice. Cars. Thanks!!!!!!
Omg bro heck yeah that's worth 1700 bucks those were beasts and the body's lasted love it.
I had a 75 LTD two door. Love those big ass Fords man.
My dad's old boss recruited and convinced my dad to move us from Chicago to L.A. in 1979. His old/current boss had a 1978 LTD (not sure of the model) as a company car, whereas my father was given a 1979 Ford Fairmont as a company car. After a few years, both were able to purchase their cars for a few hundred bucks, and a few years later, his boss sold my dad his LTD. I learned how to drive in the Fairmont and also got to drive the LTD, and there was little comparison. The Fairmont had the 302 and was quite peppy, whereas the LTD had the 351 and was sort of/kind of adequate in power, although my mom once took on a Miata and beat it, LOL.
Come along with LTD and party 🎉
This is an awesome find! Are you sure it's a Landau though??? NO fender skirts? No upgraded interior? Might be a brougham.
The LTD Brougham was discontinued for the 1977 model year, but the Landau got the Brougham interior.
These cars were in a lot of tv shows back in da day.
On April 29th 1976, I bought a brand new Mercury Cougar. Five weeks after I bought the car, I got married. Almost 47 years later, I still have the car, and still have the wife!
It's nice that both have lasted the test of time.
Its all there. Awesome
My first car still have her but sadly she doesn’t run been about 20 years she’s sat ☹️ I want to get her back but she needs lots of work and winter climates are not kind to her
Mr. B. Here ! Mid 70’s Cars have gotten a bad rap! These vehicles have been poorly maintained; I two that I still drive & have made a big effort to do what the vehicle needs . The so call Pro’s some not all look at these vehicle as a quick buck ! I up graded all parts and the vehicles service well !😊😊😊😊
I love my 76 Gran Torino! 78k mile survivor.
Wonder how much work it needs done to it that's the question.
I like those cars but they do love gasoline
Like pouring it out of a milk jug.
They ran sloppy and the 400 V8 was not only a dog, it was a notorious troublemaker.
Wow this thing is nice!!! Where's my shoutout Benny??? This thing's got "Kim Special" written all over it! lol
It looks to have been garaged or maybe a barn find! 54k miles and I'll be surprised if that's not original.
It's 100% savable and restorable! The price is not bad too! Haggle a couple hundred off and I say it's good! Wonder if the hubcaps are in the trunk. This one isn't as mint as the yellow 78 you saw a few months ago, but it's a good one!
So nice that even the Google Man would not be happy if it were to be parted out.
I had a '78 Grand Marquis way back when. 351 Windsor, FMX transmission that cost $800 to rebuild when it failed...none of my Chrysler Corp or GM rides failed me like this one did. A heater core failure during a cold snap (of course), brake rotor snaps in 2 a week after a Firestone "mechanic" said brakes were fine, last straw was engine failure on the way to work in rush hour traffic. Only positive was it had shag carpeting. 🤦♂️
Sound like u buy junk
$1395 is ok for the make, model & condition of the car, not the End of the Road for this one, not yet anyway.
Someone bought it
I'd say it is if it gets to get a tune-up, oil change, etc etc.🤔
I would be interested. I bet it one of those sitting in a garage for 25 years.
Nice. I have a daily driver/project 1973 ltd brougham that I drive. 76,000 miles
I'd give $1,300 for it....I'm not a fan of more doors but for that price along with how relatively clean the interior is I'd def give $1,300 for the old girl...
If not mistaken, someone ended up buying it
Whoa Nelley, 1977 and maybe going to Heaven. No, this is a 400, not a 351, going by the VIN.
We got the VIN, we win: 7 for 1977 model year, P for St. Paul/Twin Cities, MN assembly, 64 for LTD four door sedan, S for 400 V8 with two barrel, and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Paul plant operated from 1925 to 2011 and last produced vehicles such as the Ford Ranger.
No tag, can't brag, but might be able to figure some of it out, no doubt: 53H for LTD four door sedan, possible code 3V Bright Blue Glow exterior paint, among other codes. The LTD Brougham was discontinued for the 1977 model year, but got the Brougham's interior. The 400 V8 was a sloppy, poor running, slug of an engine. It was always an "emission" engine and never a good one at that. GM's offerings in 1977 were much better, although of course they had their issues too. You can tell Ford was in trouble when they had to go to GM to get AC compressors, as of course that is the GM/Frigidaire A6 compressor. Bird-Kultgen Ford is still in business today at 1701 W Loop 340, Waco, TX 76712. I think you found other cars from there in the past. I would have said the previous owners were Reagan/Bush fans and likely Republicans due to "Independent Business" sticker and the Reagan sticker on the bumper.
Whoa Nelley, VIN code "S" has always been a mess. 4-0-0 and gotta go. Paint code 3V and it's over for thee. That's it, time to quit. A6 hit the bricks. Made in St. Paul and took a big fall. Going to be flat and that's that. Not a Brougham, but soon to be going home. Going to maybe get squished and perhaps some here, I think Benny, but not the Google Man are going to be pissed.
I toured the ford plant in St. Paul. Sometime around 2005. They were building ranger pickups at that time. Very interesting how fast they would turn those vehicles out.
@@gened7756 The plant was actually quite efficient and was not originally on the "Way Forward" plant closings list, but by 2008, it had made it to that list and by 2011 it was closed.
That's Unckle Bucks car man save it 😁👍
I had a 1976 Ford LTD for 5 years. it had a big 400 engine V8, I love that car until he traded it in for a van
Thats one cool car. Would love to drive it everyday to work🤩
Only if your drive is about a mile, or you own your own gas station
@@Invictus13666 Yeah...here in Europe those few US cars I've seen had european engines swaped and installed🤔
@@Invictus13666LTD=Long Term Debt
It's not the most desirable of cars, but worthy of restoration. I wish I had the money 😕
If I lived overthere, I'd bought her and restored her.....
Between $600 to $700 all day.
Airbags replaced those chrome bumpers
Nice 70s ford
I think it would sell for $800.
My Grand father had 2 of these in copper color
Looks like the Old Henry J to the right of it.
I wonder if the turn signals are a direct fitment to a ltd ll???
Nice car for the money
Sounds alright
That's not a bad price ($1695). Just trying to find a place to park this 20 foot behemoth would be a problem.
I think that ltd was the one that i smell old varnished gas from or the dodge dart.
worth 2500+
Will go to Mexico...and live a long life
👌👌👌👌👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏👏👏👏
I'd buy that for $1,700
Offer $900
$300.00
What yard is this in?
?
BYOT in Elm Mott Texas
@@ClassicRideSociety thanks
Sounds like too much for me
Ford lt gas hog ✔️
