FactLTD II shared nothing but a name with the real LTD, actually replacing the Torino and underpinning the Ranchero and Cougar.
The Ford LTD II was produced from the 1977 to 1979 model years, replacing the Torino and Gran Torino as Ford's intermediate, while the Thunderbird took over from the Elite. Sharing only its name with the full-size LTD, it was offered as a two-door coupé, four-door sedan and station wagon, and its platform also underpinned the Ranchero, the 1977–1979 Thunderbird and the Mercury Cougar. It was built at Lorain, Atlanta and Los Angeles, and in Venezuela as the Ford Fairlane. All engines were V8s from the 302 Windsor to the 400, with three-speed automatics.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 302 Windsor V8 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
