Default LTD For Project?

Not mine, but thought it may interest somebody in Victoria as a cheap restorer?

1982 Ford LTD.

To resurrect that would only be out of pure love as the cost could never be recouped and there would be many better alternatives available as a starting point.

It would be interesting to see the condition of the interior and a few other details to see if it would make a cheap parts car.

I'm amazed they are asking as much as $850 for a rolling chunk of rust.

I would pay $850 for that.
Make a good parts car for mine.
Most of the LTD specific stuff looks intact.
V8 is a bonus too.

For parts, maybe. Forget about restoring that though. It's gone. Sadly.

I wouldn't be looking foward to reboring the block.
With that amount of visible rust,
I doubt the car was ever looked after properly.
