The Ford LTD II was a mid-size car built by the Ford Motor Company between 1977 and 1979 for the North American market. It was based on the Ford Torino, which it effectively replaced, and used the same platform as the concurrent Ford Thunderbird, which was down-sized for 1977. The 2-door coupe replaced the Ford Elite, which was a Ford Torino derivative designed to compete with the popular Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

When Ford redesigned its mid-sized models for 1977, they replaced the Torino name with the "LTD II" label in an effort to convince consumers that they were offering a car that combined the quality of the full-size Ford LTD with the sportiness of the Ford Mustang II.

A two-door coupe and four-door sedan were available in all three model years, and a four-door station wagon was offered for 1977 only.

The LTD was built on the same frame and had redesigned body lines that were more squared off.
The LTD II was a good car, but in the climate of the late 1970's, it could not compete, and so after extremely poor sales in 1979 Ford dropped the LTD II, and ended the heritage Torino line altogether.
