1974 Ford LTD review from North America
"A living room on wheels!! A must have!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought this car for six hundred dollars, a lot of little things were wrong with it.
I had to replace the thermostat and the housing cause it was stuck.
The interior was in horrible shape, the carpet was ripped and the seats didn't match and were torn up also. But other than that, nothing has gone wrong with it.
The cosmetics are poor - the vinyl top was torn off by the previous owner, and it was abused by him.
General comments?
The best car you can get! It drives like a dream, it's very smooth and it performs pretty good, even though it's a 6000 lb car.
Once I finish re-doing the interior, this car will be very beautiful! It gets a lot of looks from people cause there's nothing on the road like it. My dad had one when I was growing up, and I fell in love with it until he sold it, and at that time I was young and loved that car, and I wanted it. So I bought this one and decided to fix it up a little.
It's like a living room on wheels - just add a better stereo and some nice wheels.
