Even Ford couldn’t agree on how many LTD LX performance sedans it built: commonly cited figures say 3,260, but Ford’s own records say 5,287.
For 1981 its standard V8 became a 4.2-litre rated at only 115 hp, the lowest since the 1953 Flathead V8.
About 7,850,000 full-size Fords and Mercurys were sold from 1969 to 1978, making this the best-selling Ford platform after the Model T.
