Big Red: 1975 Ford LTD

It seems like there’s a plethora of meticulously maintained 1970’s wagons on the market lately and this 1975 Ford LTD is yet another one and one of the nicest I’ve seen from that era. Perhaps the gas crisis of the times relegated this behemoth to garage storage but whatever the reason, this wagon has seen just 57,658 miles and only shows minor imperfections. Listed on Ebay in Westminster, British Columbia it can be purchased for $12,000 but the seller will also consider offers.

With a bright red exterior and a length of nearly 19 feet there’s no missing this wagon on the street! Available as a Squire or in the standard trim level like this one, the LTD was the top of the line Ford wagon in 1975. Nicely optioned, this wagon includes opposing fold down third row seating, power steering, power brakes, power windows, air conditioning, deluxe cloth interior and an AM/FM 8-Track sound system.

The red just keeps on coming, extending to the interior and only broken up by wood applique and interesting cloth seats that have an almost spattered paint effect. Everything on the inside looks just as sensational as it does on the outside with no wear evident in the photos.

The big wagon is powered by a 400-2V V8 with a C3 automatic transmission and a heavy duty rear end. There is no mention of any mechanical issues but the seller states that he car is ‘meticulously maintained’ so hopefully that description includes the car mechanics.

Largely ignored by collectors for years it feels like the market for the big 70’s and 80’s wagons is getting some traction and at $12,000 this impeccable LTD could be a great buy.
