1985 Ford LTD LX Test Drive
When the Fairmont fist came out in 1978, you could order it with an optional 302-cu in. V8 and four-speed. Over the years, Ford’s Fairmont was restyled into the LTD, and the V8 was dropped. Now, the five-liter V8 was back as part of the LX package. There was no more four-speed, only an automatic. But, no matter. Ford’s SVO engineers went through the LTD chassis and gave it all the good suspension parts. They added Goodyear Eagle GT 205/70HR14 tires, and came up with a four-door Mustang GT.
The LTD LX had a lot of traditional American virtues, there was more fun-per-dollar in this automobile than you would find anywhere else in a four-door family sedan.
