    wonder what it will go for? I can see someone paying $7000 i dont know if anyone would pay more than that but if they do its JUST because its SUCH A NICE CAR and if it does actually only have the 28000 miles its still brand new so no worries about whats hiding under the paint or under the dash for that matter with the "electrical repairs" some people do

    Looking st the size of it, I figured the engine would have been a bit bigger than a 302

    I'd pay maybe $1000, I just don't like those cars...

    Both cars in the pictures make me nostalgic. My grandpa had an LTD like that, still wouldn't want it though. The Merc in the background......I'd take it in a heartbeat! Grandpa had that very car as his service loaner and gave it to me, wish I had never parted with it.

    looks like a 12 year old filled out the info sheet on the right...LOL

    it would make a good second car for $12-1500.

    My grandparents had a 1977 LTD in that dark mustard yellow color and brown vinyl top. In the mid-1990s it only had 40K miles. I drove it in the Burt Reynolds movie "Cop and a Half" .... if you haven't seen it, don't strain youself ... it was a kid's movie. His sidekick was 7 years old.

    That car was driven for 10 years in Illinois before retiring to Florida. It was probably scrapped 2 years later due to rust.

    We had 2 LTDs when I was growing up as a kid. A '75 that was olive green and a '77 that was forest green.
