Today’s LTD sits on the Fox platform, which means easy parts, endless swap potential, and a chassis that’s way more capable than the woodgrain-era looks suggest. This maroon wagon reads like an honest, clean long-roof with just 80k miles, cold A/C, and all the right bones for either a stock cruiser or that rad 5.0/T-5 […]
In the early 1980s the Ford LTD name moved from full-size body-on-frame cruiser to a compact Fox platform sedan, sharing its rear wheel drive architecture with the Mustang and earning a reputation as a durable, simple, and easily modified four-door sleeper. Offered with inline six and small block V8 power during its run, the Fox […]

The Ford LTD (pronouced el-tee-dee) was first built in 1965 on the Galaxie platform as a top of the line for Ford’s full sized offerings. In 1979 the LTD was downsized to Ford’s Panther platform and in 1983 it was turned into a midsized thing on Ford’s Fox platform…which was a good thing for people who enjoyed a fun driving experience. The new rack-and-pinion steering, unibody construction, and drivetrain/suspension parts shared with the Mustang meant the LTD finally went from making its drivers sick to making its passengers sick.
