Legion,
FWIW, I always hated those LTD's, but that looks like a fun project so long as the engine does not need any internal work. If it does need engine work, I personally would not go any further.
1st order of business if I were doing it, would be to empty a can of Gunk engine degreaser on it then powerwash it. Next, see if it will run after doing the following:
Remove the carbs... pull the float bowls... clean the jets. Clean the gas tank/petcock... install fresh gas. Put a new battery in it. Carefully dis-assemble/clean any electric switches that no longer work. Try to start it and see if it runs OK... if so, on to the fun part...
Clean/detail it to make it look as good as possible without spending much money. Polish the chrome bits with the wd40/steel wool. Hit the tank and other painted parts that are supposed to be shiny with some buffing compound. Hit any black plastic parts with Mother's "Back to Black". Spray any black parts with some semi gloss spray paint (you can touch up small scratches with a black Sharpy). Put some new tires on it (clean the wheels while the tires are off).
