This 1985 Ford LTD 5.0 was essentially a four-door Mustang disguised in a more respectable body.

I believe that's an LTD II and it's based off of the Fairmont as is the Mustang of that era.

Someone could get a Fairmont sport and do what was done in '78 to a new one and that's tub it and instead of of Boss02 as was done then drop something newer between the towers.

The same could be done with an '80-2 'Bird, something like a loaded Town Landau or Heritage for instance. They came loaded with auto climate, keyless entry, auto lamp, p. roof, digital dash, even a garage door opener in the drivers sun visor. Get the TRX version and the suspension was upgraded and they had a bit more gear underneath also.

The II's, Cougar's, Mustang's and 'Birds of that generation were all based off of the Fairmont platform. How about a tricked out grocery getter Fairmont wagon?

 

IIs were not, but the others were . . .

 

Funny you should mention that....not a Fairmont, but close. This was at a show today, a work in progress. It's an '83 LTD II wagon with an '85 Mustang 302, 5 speed, and a Fox GT complete front and rear suspension. What a cool little sleeper. The owner said he loves to **** off the BMW guys.

 

My bad the II's were in the '70's and based off of the Torino.

The '80's "little" LTD's were Fairmont ie. Fox platform based.
