Hey everybody, here are a few more pics of the LTD. I wasn't able to make it back to Springfield today, but leaving at 8am. Thanks to a friend with a flat bed tow truck, no problems towing.

UHaul, Ryder, and Penske didn't have trailers big enough. LOL

I'm 6'2 290lbs, so she fits me fine.

Here are more pics. Let me know what you think.

That reminds me of an neighbor's Galaxie XL when I was a kid... dual exhaust, American mags, medium blue, black vinyl top. He was the coolest dad in the neighborhood.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Love it!

I agree, the car is cool personified. . .er . . . carsonified?

 

[Don65Stang]

Perfect as is. Drive it!

Awsome find, obviously that car has been taken good care of and shown the respect over the years it deserves!

I got the car back home to STL safe Saturday morning. The only thing I need to do is change the valve cover gaskets and swap out the breather cap.

It's amazingly clean now that I've had a chance to look it over. It even has the original bias ply tire in the trunk.

I still love my 72, but I couldn't pass up on this.

The previous owner sent me some pics of it sitting on a dyno:

Did he tell you how much power it made?

 

[rolandmhall]

Dyno sheet shows 219HP and 255 ft lb torque

 

[droptop73]

That's fairly respectable at the rear wheels.
