Hi,
I am a new member and have just purchased a 77 Ford LTD. Not sure how many others on here have the same. Only had it for a week but looking forward to reading some interesting stuff on here. Cheers and Merry Christmas

You've come to the right place for anything to do with Fords and the people on here are very knowledgeable and friendly.
I worked on a lot of these in my mechanic days, beautiful car to drive and ride in.
Any pics or details?

Welcome to AFF !

Congratulations on your 77 LTD.... A real classic.

My father owned a 77 LTD Silver Monarch, always loved that "Rolls Royce front".
It had the most comfortable seats of any car I'd ever been in... They were like lounge room chairs

Post some pics of the LTD sometime!

You'll find that the word 'Interesting' has different meanings to many members here on AFF.

But have a great Christmas anyway.

Edit...9 posts in 10 years? not going to wear out the keyboard anyway

G'day , You 'dun' good on two counts..The LTD is one of my favourites of all Aussie Fords...bloody tough.. The second thing was joining AFF...There are a ton of real helpful , well informed and skilled members here who'll only be too pleased to point you in the right direction on your car..
Sometimes topics can have a wide and varied discussion with strong opinions but it's all part of the fun. One suggestion if I may.. The only dumb question on AFF is the one you don't ask..Enjoy being one of the crew and don't be a Robinson Crusoe...Cheers Rod..

Hi Breeza, your my hero, not because of the great car you own but to be able to post photos on this forum in one day WOW. I think you must be 10 years old?
i've been a member 10 plus years not sure how many times I tried over the years still unable to do it.
By the way I am only 78 years old, maybe the reason!!!!
Love the car and good luck on the Forum a great place.

Cheers John

I love the ZH and P6 models, beautiful. So lucky they were able to make something truly special.

I bought a Silver Monarch in 1982 - I think it was a '77.

Did all of a 10 km test drive in it.

Left a deposit and returned next morning to finalise payment and pick it up.

Unfortunately seller's house (inc my car) burnt down through the night.

Nice car... I really liked the red velour seats.
