    Agreed. It's a nice car, but who does it appeal to? Very few, especially as a four-door.

    There were actually three LTD II's in 1978, the LTD II "S", the LTD II, and the LTD II Brougham. All three came in two-door and four-door styles. There was also a "regular" LTD that came in both styles as well as a wagon. The LTD was the higher-end model.

    In this condition, this car is worth $2,000 to $3,000.

    I'd tempted to say this is a LTD II S , except for the hood ornament and front center armest.

    No, it needs a double bubble gum machine and the Washington State Patrol shield and lightning bolt on it.

    $7500? Gimme a break. It's fairly unloaded, four doors, a blah outer color and a bright green inner color. It's only saving graces are A/C (if it works) and not a 302.

    At least being in Orange County, you're pretty much guaranteed to find a solid, 'no rust' car.......

    I think it's awesome and would drive it. But it's not a $7500 car...
