This is my 1980 Ford Landau. Basically, it’s a ’67 Galaxie sold in brazillian market for years (from ’68 to ’83), getting a face-lift in 1976. At the time, this car was the most luxurious car Ford offered on our market.
With a “Lincoln-based” finishment (Landau only - check it’s logo), this car got a 5.0l 302 Ford V8 engine with a C4 automatic 3-speed transmission that delivery only 199 cv SAE @ 4.600 rpm and 40 m.kgf of torque @ 2.400 rpm.
Weight about 1.900 – 2.000 kg.
My mainly intention with this car is just to keep it as much stock as I can, with minor restoration only. It’s almost always stored in my garage, runs like 20 km per year, so it’s not (and will never be) my daily ride. In the near future I intend to buy a 1976 LTD model known as “silver edition”, restore it and store, just wish me luck :P
