1976 Ford LTD

Bouncing along a country road. It proves you can chirp your tires on a well packed gravel road.

It's disturbing how much this thing wallows and swerves all over the road. The Australian Ford LTD wasn't by nature a sports car, but can still do a lot better than this.

@Mechknight73 Keep in mind that this car was already a beater when I bought it. It cost me $140 in 1985 for both the LTD's so you're looking at a $70 car. It bounced and floated all over the place but was still an absolute riot to drive. It was not legally on the road at the time as it never would have passed a safety check.

Yes, it did wallow, but the swerves were intentional lol. Thanks for the comment.

somebody watched to much colt cevers

@triangletrexx lol "The Fall Guy" was one of the greatest television shows of all-time. Heather Thomas ... and a truck that could survive 90' jumps! The engine was moved back 3 feet. Mickey Gilbert did most of those truck jumps.

Haha how can you not love 70's American cars. They are chock full of personality.

[SanFran90]

I'd love to buy one of these old machines.

These were really good cars; too bad they don't make anything like these anymore.

I saw one just the green one in this video today, same color, absolutely cherry. It was an total gem. If I had somewhere to keep one, I would have made the guy an offer.

I love how these big heavy cars when you get them to slide sideways they just straiten themselves out without spinning out

[ridinhonda4life]

[Dav123xyz]

@GOUGOUNETTE Agreed. The treat the old lady with respect plze.

They might float and sway, but they rode like a cloud on the highway. Great old cars.

[jakesaintsrow123]

@StuntingSteamMcQueen Man I Bet these cars were so Much FUN To Drive!!

[Mechknight73]

@hokman1 It could be said that Americans accidently invented the sport of drifting just from all those chase scenes with American cars. A light would have come on in someone's head: "cool, we can make a sport out of this!" Point in case; the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard

[Mechknight73]

@Dumblikeyoutu You obviously don't understand humour as it was said tongue in cheek. We all know American cars float down the road like boats in the surf. Even the Australian version of the Ford LTD wasn't exactly razor sharp in handling either. Just laughing at how he's having way too much fun

[Dumblikeyoutu]

@Mechknight73 You should seek out a psychologist to help you cope if something like this actually disturbs you.

Or maybe it's just a typical foreigner finding any reason to make a negative comment about something American as he/she watches a video on an American-invented computer, via the American-invented internet, on American-invented Youtube, about an American-owned car brand Ford.
