It should be obvious! They have excellent cup holders for the long drive down the track and a front seat big enough to take a nap on.

I used mine to tow one of my cougars to the track for my son to race, unhook the trailer & get in the lanes with it. Because I had it & I liked it. Before I turned my Cougar into a stocker I toyed with the LTD as a stocker because the 460 4bbl in "N" looked better than what I actually built, 351c 2bbl. in my Cougar. (in N)

Why not?

Re: 77/78 ford ltd/ mercury marquis 460
 

Why? I seem to get that question a lot!

Re: 77/78 ford ltd/ mercury marquis 460
 

Is that the answer? because you can?Is it a $500 car? a rocket in N? being odd for fun?
Wont there always be a more bogus combo in the weeds? Cadillac, BLown Studebaker, Vega OH cam?

Why?

Because people get tired of jelly-bean, belly-button, cookie-cutter, pick your cliché, type of car.

THAT, is why.

Why??

Because it is far more interesting, challenging and satisfying to put a real, production, showroom available, no horsepower car under the index than racing a new Copo or Cobra will ever be. It's called "hot rodding".

Have a very Merry Christmas

Re: 77/78 ford ltd/ mercury marquis 460
 

Why???

Its good to see any combo that is not just another SBC.

Re: 77/78 ford ltd/ mercury marquis 460
 

Charlie - Really ? Sure - putting five thousand pounds under the index can be fun but you must admit the real reason that there are cars like the LTD are being built is because the horsepower factor is wrong .

And trust me the 2013 season for me was no picnic .And I do consider myself a true "hot rodder" .

And a very Merry Christmas from those of us on the 'other coast'.
