Nice clean car. Wife's family friend had a '78 4 door in these colors. She bought it new before the downsized '79s came out and kept it 12 years and 150K. Great car!

I had a 400 cid Ford engine and I loved it! Ran like a charm. Lots of power and torque. I have seen people slam them on comments sections of other videos and those detractors are very misinformed.

I've had 5 LTDs from the early to late 70s cars. They were easy to work on and I had just about every V/8 engine in my LTDs. I drove nothing but 70s cars, vans, pickups and motorcycles until 2015.

I had this exact same car, with my brother and niece riding along with me. I looked up in the rearview mirror, and it took me a while to figure out what it was; it was the grill of a tractor trailer, that was so close I could see the radiator behind it. The driver apparently had white line fever, it was literally almost pushing my car along. I couldn't switch lanes to get out of the way, because I couldn't see around the truck. I was scared spitless driving along at 110 mph, trying to outrun the truck. Finally, thank god, A Long Hill came up, which was an answer to prayer, and the truck slowed down to about 75 or 80 miles an hour. I had passed the exit to my house by several miles, so I gently pulled over and slowed down, to take the next exit. I was so shaky from the ordeal, my brother almost had to drive for me, but he wasn't as capable a driver.

If it were me, I'd keep the HEI, carb, breather, and glass packs on... Not that I would race in it; just to be different... I'd also squeeze a tach on somewhere, just for S & Gs... Radio would definitely be changed to aftermarket, amps, and good speakers... Great condition for a 47 year-old vehicle, though...

The radio is an AM/FM stereo which was a higher end option for that time and it works! You don’t chop up the dash of a 47 year old vehicle that’s this beautiful for some stupid aftermarket radio! It’s ludicrous! You’d ruin the car! Common sense! I hate that when people chop up classic cars for a modern stereo!
