Does anyone know this car or owner?

Looks like that is up by Carlsbad. That Jeep is fuxord.

Yup, right by the flower fields. Happened 5 minutes after getting back on the freeway because I had to take a detour to the tire shop when two of the trailer tires blew

[Durango]

Haha - I was thinking about going looking for that pic - Jeepy lost that battle for sure!

Join the club.

And then theres the jeep (I think it was a jeep) that hit your LTD LX. Right?

[dburdyshaw]

What engine do you have in your '62 Galaxie? In my younger years, I had a '61 Starliner with a factory 3-deuce 401hp/390. One of the best cars I've ever owned!!

I'm thinking that it has the 292 V8.

Whoa... you're right, it was a Jeep Liberty! I totally forgot that it was Jeep that hit me. Damn Jeeps!

And it was a jeep that hit my mothers 1981 Zephyr!

BTW: I don't know how you could forget what car hit your LTD LX.

My GF looked at a jeep when we were looking for vehicles for her. I told her that even though they may be an OK vehicl it still has two things going against it. 1. It's a mopar thats not from the 60's and earlier. 2. I F*@&ING hate Jeeps!

Damn! That's a lot of automotive carnage. Makes me want to put in a full roll cage in the Cougar wagon - LOL!

A pic of the "Crystalline" taillights... now also known as "complex reflector" - in today's automotive jargain... hahaha

Found another good photo of this car. This photo makes me want to do this conversion even more!!

IMHO, everything about this car is just awesome!

The LTD rear bumper on the Futura sport coupe works very well visually. Too bad the same thing can't be done to the front bumper with the stock Futura nose. I like the stock Futura nose...

[TWR2003]

- Rear Bumper cut in half and a 2" section removed and re-welded
(to allow bumper to have similar flush appearance of LTD/Marquis -
which is slightly narrower than the Fairmont/Zephyr bumper)

I agree that the LTD/Marquis rear bumper/cover visually works VERY well on the Futura. Can you provide mode detail on how this was done? Did you section an LTD/Marquis bumper or the original Futura bumper? What about getting the LTD bumper cover/surround to mate the the rear of the Futura's lower rear quarters?

Thanks

Does anyone know this car and its owner?

[Mr. Squirrel]

That is my buddy Pat. He lives in my city. He runs a bbf with two fours on top as his everyday driver. Very, very smart man and that car is amazing in person. Another big fan of Mr. Glidden.

[Mr. Squirrel]

Also he is in his late 60s and I believe never gets on any sites. His car is really known here in town. Awsome, awsome man is all I gotta say

Yeah, I am *so* doing that conversion to the Durango. It looks like it was made to be there.

[slpr50ltd]

Hey Rich!

I think your Durango would look awesome with the LTD front end. Just to be a bit different, I've decided to go with the Merc Marquis grille. Haven't made the final decision yet on whether I'll leave the grille chrome, paint it charcoal or paint it body color. Still up in the air on that part!! When do you think you want to do this? Depending on timing, we could compare notes on our progress. I don't even have my Futura yet and the way things are going, it may be another month or more before that happens! :-(

[Quick82]

It's a TJ Wrangler... Completely different.

FYI, Jeeps were AMC till late 80's. Then they were bought by mother Mopar.

Those aren't stock side vents, are they?

[slpr50ltd]

No, they are not. The LTD/Marquis never came from the factory with any fender vents, simulated or functional. They look like they may have come from a late '70's-'80's Camaro.
