    That's a lot of car for a little over $2500 USD'd, Very unusual colors for a full size ford, I remember seeing quite a few Granada's, T-Birds, Fairmonts, & Zephyrs in that color, but don't recall many LTD's.

    Not many options other than the split front bench seat, being a rural Canadian car, no A/C naturally. But if the young kids want to see what their Grandparents drove in the 1980's it perfect. I kinda like it. Cant really argue with the $3500 Canadian asking price.

    Got to give the seller a lot of credit. His list of options for a car that has none.

    Yeah that wood on the steering wheel, and that chrome hood ornament were real ups and extra’s. Plus the lush wood on the doors, don’t forget. It’s a nice Landau, but it ain’t the hope diamond. At least he’s not asking $8k for a “highly optioned” car. About half the stuff he listed was standard on the Landau.

    Also seeing a car with the "Landau" package having a full Vinyl rood always struck me as Odd, but I guess no worse than a lifted AWD 4-door Mini.

    Not a bad car for the price. You could do a lot worse. This is just the ticket to get you and three or four of your buddies to Carlisle and Hershey. I know it was for us. No fuss no muss no bother....

    The only item that matters is the engine, 351 cubes of "Let's make a hot four-doorslammer!"
