Junkyard Find: 1972 Ford LTD Brougham Coupe

06 - 1972 Ford LTD Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee MartinWe've had quite a few Ford LTD Country Squire Junkyard Finds, but just a couple of regular non-wagon LTDs. This '71 LTD Brougham and this '69 LTD were about it prior to today, and both of those cars were four-doors. Today we've got a big green LTD Brougham coupe, which I photographed in the San Francisco Bay Area back in March.

Power was down in 1972, partly due to new emission-control hardware and partly due to the switch from gross to net horsepower ratings.

Why buy the $9,000 car?
