Waiting for my dream girl

[a9127]

Our date went so well I decided to get rid of the ZR-1 and buy this ’71 Ford LTD Wagon. Powered by a 400 cubic inch 6.6L Cleveland, it can carry up to 10 people. I could take all my girlfriends out! And it has vinyl “bench seats” plus an authentic ‘70’s “CB” radio. Wonder how fast it would go?

The Ford LTD and Galaxy were also used by many law enforcement agencies including state highway patrols. A heavily modified 1971 Galaxy 500 with a four speed manual and 429 with dual carbs was featured in the Burt Reynolds movie “White Lightning” from 1973. I have seen this movie on TV several times. Jennifer Billingsley plays his girlfriend. They track down the evil sheriff and moonshiners who killed his brother. My favorite of his movies. Second is “The Longest Yard.” Worth watching.

The last picture is another shot of ila’s “Domino’s Special.” Thanks for letting me borrow it…
