105 actual miles! That is correct, not a typo. The original temp tag is still in the windshield. The story is August Mews' friend got a job as a salesman so August bought a car from him to help him out. August didn't really need or want the car. He tried to return it and the dealer said no. So he parked it in a garage and never used it. A 2nd owner bought it 20 years ago because he thought it was amazing having such low miles. So of course he kept it garaged and did not add to the miles. He passed away and here it is. It must be one of the best 47 year old survivors to exist, certainly one of the lowest mile cars.
EXTERIOR: It is as close to a new 1974 as you'll find. Absolutely no rust for damage in the body. Nothing was dropped on it, no one hit the garage backing it out. I don't even find a door ding. It looks like it's all original paint. It is very smooth and glossy, not cracked or chalky. The original painted pinstripe isn't even worn. All the chrome and moldings are shiny and straight. Some tiny freckles on the bumper and taillights. The vinyl top has some cracks and was redyed. It has the landau bars, optional moldings, optional bumper guards and cornering lights. All the glass is crystal clear and amazingly enough it still has the window sticker attached. It also still has the EPA sticker and the temp tag attached to the windows. It still has the original Goodyear tires. The hubcaps are mint. The door jambs are mint. All the rubber weather strips are still soft.
INTERIOR: It is the same as sitting in a brand new 1974. No foul smells, no mice, no wear or tear. Everything looks new except a small crack on each front plastic armrest. No fading, upholstery is pristine, seat belts are excellent. Door panels, headliner, visors, carpet, instrument panel look new. The cigarette lighter has never been used. Starting instructions are still on the visor.
The glove box pouch has the manuals, pamphlets, second copy of the window sticker. The AM radio plays clear, the clock still works.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Absolutely original except for a replacement battery and 1 cable. It's never been spraycanned or touched up. It features power steering and power brakes. The 351 motor still has original decals and paint markings from the factory. The air cleaner is complete with all the ductwork. It has original hoses and belts.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The giant trunk has the optional carpet liner. Behind it the factory spatter finish is still pristine. The original spare tire has never been out of the car, still has the ink stamps on the tread. The jack has never been removed. The original weather strip is still soft.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath is completely original. As you'd expect it does have some light surface haze of rust. It's never been sprayed over. You can still see factory tags, stickers and paint markings. It even has the original exhaust system. Disc brakes up front.
This is a time capsule. Nobody can go back in time and recreate this car. Here is a chance to own something nobody else will have. Trailer it to shows, people will be amazed.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.

Beautiful car, wish I could get a car like that be but it would be too expensive. Beauty though!
So it's not a high performance muscle car, a European sports car or even a cool pickup... BUT for people of a certain age this rig is pure nostalgia. An honest to goodness feel good rig with an interesting history. For the discriminating collector looking to relive Sunday drives or Chevy Chase 'Summer Vacation' style memories. A really great piece, thanks Jay!
I don't remember the name of the model, but our family car when I was a kid was whatever model would have been a step down from this one. Learned how to drive in that car. Learned how to change a tire on that car. Remember what those little rectangular holes in the bumper are for? I do. Drove way to fast on Chicago area expressways in that car. Man, does the shape of that steering wheel bring back memories!
@@TheMrAshley2010 Great comment. The model was probably a Galaxy 500. My dad had these as company cars and I learned to drive (on public streets anyways) in a 4dr chocolate brown 1972 version. They were comfortable workhorses that were supremely competent in their mission.
@@jefffawcett1626 Galaxy 500! That's it. Thanks!
Im from Europe. We never had this model imported so I have never seen one in person, only on photos and videos, but I like this car. My grandfather was a proud owner of a Ford but not of any model found in the States.
im 27 yet for me this era is me and nice and stock no silly big wheels or terrible mods :)
My grandfather worked 30 years for Ford and his last car was a new 1974 Ford LTD that he kept until his death in 1983. Thanks for sharing this vehicle :)
The car is GORGEOUS!!!!
😍👍
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales I wonder if you could sandblast the surface rust on the frame and hood hinge springs? If I were the new owner I would definitely do that. My parents bought one of these brand new in 1974 and another one in 1977. They had both Ziebart rustproofed.
My dad bought a used 1974 Ford LTD Brougham sedan "executive" car. It was dark brown with a tan vinyl roof. It had tan cloth interior. It had every option available. It was one of my favorite cars that my parents owned. I believe it had a 400 V8. Brings back memories.
How long did they keep it?
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales I think only a couple of years. I know the next car was a brand new 1977 LTD coupe.
I bought this car for 600 usd when l was getting my master degree in 1981. Excellent car, very comfortable. Almost 50 years ago. For sure l got old.
I had a black one I bought of an older couple for $1,000 back in 1978. I waxed the car a few times and the paint job looked great, I put on a hood ornament, new chrome around the wheel walls, Pioneer super tuner, wire wheels. It drove nice and turned alot of heads even being a four door!
Amazing how cheap these cars were when they were five, six years old and in very good condition. In 1978 I bought a green 73 Galaxie four door, in very nice condition, for $999, from a Chrysler dealer.
I used to have a 1973 Mercury Meteor 2 door with a 351C 2bbl. The car had a surprising amount of power considering it's weight. Looking at this beautiful 1974 LTD brought back many happy memories. Thanks.
I don’t remember ever seeing an LTD with landau bars. Very rare!
And that whole Landau package was only $210. Man, oh, man.
beautiful beautiful.i have a super clean black '74 ltd brougham coupe and love it.smooth,reliable,and very comfortable,and with the 400 v8,(even though choked down for epa),still has plenty of power.great cars
Beautiful car! I had a 1971 green LTD. Nice riding cars. Plenty of room. Their A/C works real good. Freeze you out. This one here is a miracle. 105 miles!!!! Shazamm!!!😳
no A/C however
Loved my 74, even though everytime I drove through a puddle I had to pull off distributer cap and dry it out so I could get where I was going. Aside from that it was pretty solid.
wow, I believe because I see it. you showed it. a great car.
🙂👍
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales Ty.l wish i had the $ to by it.srry.i can only dream but always there is hope.TY again.
Now That's the One to Buy, A New Used Car ❤😊
Beautiful car! Anyone who has scene The Driver (1978) knows the potential these cars have. Excellent vehicle!
Herbert. Has to be one of the best films ever ! The leading lady ....was she the ultimate temptress . When Ryan destroys that Mercedes ....WOW ! ....back to the car! 105miles ?Amazing condition . I was going to pass it by , glad l didn't .
@@johndavey72 Yes! The whole film was simply about The Driver’s skills and yes…I could not blame Driver for bringing the leading lady with him. Been interested in these early 70s LTDs since that movie.
This car is definitely a gem. Wish I had 25k to kill.
Hello Jay. I was going to give this a miss . So glad l didn't ! What an amazing piece of history ! As you say , it would be virtually impossible to find one better. I even noticed the clock still worked ! I always look at the other comments and noticed Joey said the hood was warped . I've been in body repair for 52 years and instinctivly look for flaws. So l "really" had a close look when the car was on the turntable . Well , my eye sight failed overnignt as l couldn't see any warping ! Finally Jay . The only thing that beats this beauty is the price ! What a great way into the classic car scene ! Thanks Jay.
A brand new 74!
Very nice. Smooth cruiser
Okay, that's really cool.
We bought one in 03’ with 36k miles. Currently at some 70-80k.
Clean Cruising Machine! If it were mine I'd put on a hazmat suit before getting in it. All passengers must comply 😂
Passengers? No way. Take the bus!! Their liable to tear a seat or have mud on their shoe. Hell no! Walk!!😂🤣😅😂🤣😅
Both of you make me laugh!! 😆😆😂
I took drivers ed in HS in a 73 Ford galaxie.
And now the drivers ed cars are Prius or Focus. 😬
Sou de Curitiba Paraná Brasil, e tenho uma joia dessa ford ltd brougham 1973 4 portas azul turquesa.
AMAZING!!
😎👍
Great car 🚗
And we know what LTD stands for. Lovely To Drive.
😎👍
that is a beauty!!!
This car is a New car nothing like a New car from the batcave 🦇 🦇 USA 🤩
I mean the car is nearly 50 years old but its as close to new as you can probably find for a 1974 car that is still around. 😍👍
Gorgeous ford Jay, can I pay the sticker price.? Why do I wanna say " book em dano " thanks jay.
We will take the sticker price as a deposit. 😜
Reminds me of the blue one from The Driver movie chase.
Kool ride
QUE CARRO TAN BELLO QUISIERA QUE LO TRAJERAN AL ECUADOR PARA COMPRARLO
Call me crazy but these old Fords just do it for me. Hey, can I buy it then return it after I don’t like it. Lol.
Usually they at least blame it on the wife. 🤣
wow
😮
I love it💛
❤
Wow wow absolutly 🎶 a wonderfull car i want it 😎 cool car color stunning inside absolut gourgeus i love it 😎 😊 and the price so cheap perfect 🎶 music 🤟 😊 thanks Jay grams for this car is so superb
Wow....the dealership that would not work with the old guy on returning this vehicle the very next day needs a lesson in Customer Service. Even though it was 40-something years ago, you'd still think that Customer Service would have been important back then! I wonder if that dealership still exists?? But for some lucky person, the dealership's mistake is going to turn into a practically Brand New 1974 Ford LTD being purchased in 2021!!
Yep, in a way we are thankful they didn't because this LTD has been amazingly preserved. 👍
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales Do you know if the Dealership is still around??
Only AM radio and No Air Conditioning....by 1974 that was stripped down.
🇺🇸❤️💕💖💗👌👍.
I noticed that you don't start cars in the display turntable anymore?
No, to cut back on the heat & exhaust from running the vehicles in such a small space. We have talked about backing them out to the doorway and turning them off, then start filming and including the vehicle starting again.
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales
I like that 💡 idea 💡. Thanks Jay
The car rarely saw the sun or the outside world for that matter.
Very true!
Beautiful but mid 70's are not my favorite car
There wasn't a good car made by anybody in the 70's All junk.
That's a"REAL CAR"...
Hello what are you wanting for this Ford LTD Yellow 4door
The right side of the hood is Warped
No air conditioning?? Very nice survivor.
Doesn't seem to.
That's Interesting mines in the total opposite end of the spectrum I have automatic climate control in my 74
1970s Hawaii Five 0 car
Is that car ever clean!!
100 miles?? Rusty trailing arms and a non ford "9 rear end??? Hmmm
Exactly, if you’ve worked with cars all your life you know this is not 105 miles. I’m sure the seller knows that as well.
Where did you find that?
It was offered to us.
How much????
This one has been sold. You can find all our current inventory with their prices on our direct website.
www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles
what did it sell for
It is our policy that after a vehicle sells, we don't continue advertising the price.
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales hats garbage was just curious I have a complete setof hubcaps for the 74 ttd if your intersted
Appreciate the offer but we don't get many of these & don't really keep a stock of parts.
Why is it always the yellow ones you find with practically no miles on it like my 79 Cadillac that I paid $10,000 for with only 9,000 miles on it. But the red one and the maroon one can't be found anywhere. It's always yellow or brown and a lot of times the blue cars that are never driven time capsules are called. I bet this car found its way to what the Netherlands Germany maybe France. I hate seeing our Classics exported to foreign countries simply out of greed. Because they will pay it in Americans have a debt ceiling they're not going to go beyond a certain price.
To bad it doesn't have the 400 or 460 V8 and A/C...or it would be even more valuable and rare.
B l
Bullshit on the miles !!!
🙄
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales
If you or anyone else believes that you are a Idiot !! That hole story is ridiculous to begin with.
@@MTCKIE68 ok. 🙄
Agreed. You work all your life with classic cars then you know what 105 miles look like - and it’s not this car.
Thats something for Adam from @rareclassiccars 😮
