The Thunderbird, which we’ll cover in a future CC, was available in a two door coupe only. As was the case with most American cars in the 1970s, the basic versions had relatively few creature comforts, but a long option list could correct that if you had the green. Just like the Torino, a full lineup of vehicles was available in coupe, sedan and station wagon versions. Like its predecessors, the LTD II was all about a soft, Lincoln-like ride, at the expense of any sort of handling and roadholding. Under the skin, they were the 1976 Ford Elite and 1976 Gran Torino, respectively. While the 1977 Thunderbird and LTD II may have looked all new, they really weren’t. The LTD II was a victim of the T-Bird’s success, so much so that it is a largely forgotten car today.
You almost certainly remember its corporate sibling, the downsized 1977 Thunderbird. ( first posted ) Here we have a rare bird, the Ford LTD II.
