The Ford LTD II was an intermediate-sized Ford built for the 1977 to 1979 model years that replaced the Torino and Gran Torino. It shared only its name with the full-size LTD, the II being added to tell the two apart, and it came as a two-door, a four-door and a station wagon, the last dropped after 1977. It also supplied the base for the final generation of the Ranchero coupe utility, and Mercury sold a twin as the Cougar. The car kept the Torino's body-on-frame construction, perimeter frame and four-link rear axle, with a 302 V8 as the standard engine and 351M, 351 Windsor and 400 V8 options. It arrived as American makers began to downsize and ended up larger outside than the downsized 1979 full-size Ford; sales fell against the new Thunderbird and Fairmont and Ford ended the line after 1979. Ford also built it in Venezuela, where it kept the Fairlane names.
