nice what was the other 9?

Hemmings stole my photo!

That photo is from a scan of the factory 85 LTD sales brochure (that I scanned in). It was a two page brochure that I had a friend of mine Photoshop the seam out of. That's why the proportions of the car look odd... part of it is missing due to the center seam.

What month magazine is that?

Cool...

But they made an error in that caption.. the LTD LX's did not come with a 140 mph speedo!

[LTDScott]

Yup. I plan on writing to them to first of all thank them for asking me for use of that photo *cough* and correcting them about the speedo bit.

I think my workplace gets Hemmings.

[twister]

they won't admit to it, I asked for a job proof-reading for them after they had 4 Ford errors in an issue...

[LTDScott]

Eh, well I can always try.

[anthonydalrymple]

Oh my.... Better get one now before the prices of these things get rediculious! Every junkyard owner is gonna want a mint for them now.... :roll:

That's last year's list (I remember reading it months ago because the GT-S Corolla was in it).

[twister]

I don't have an account there....can someone please copy the list...

Went by a bookstore yesterday and flipped through the February, 2006 issue, the Future Collectors issue was not in it. Guess I'll have to get the January one - anyone know if this is the correct issue?
