Hi guys. Can only stop in a moment, but this one is GOOD:

1988 Lincoln Town Car. 5.0 FI with good AOD trans. NEW: Rotors, calipers, pads, and rear shoes, all done in the last 10,000 miles. Also has new alternator and battery. Runs and drives but needs a new gas tank. Tank has a leak at the bottom and probably could be patched but I'm not the guy to do it. Car has 150,000 miles on it and the trans was rebuilt about 50K ago. Tires are decent, and the rims are 16" alloy wheels off a later model Grand Marquis. Included are the original 15" wheels with crappy tires on them and no wheel covers. Exhaust is quiet. A/C does not work. Radio does not work. Dark blue leather seats with typical wear but no rips. Outside is a champagne color with a dirt colored vinyl top.
Car has some light rust around the lower edges but a good solid frame. It spent most of it's winters in Florida.
Good driver if you wanted to fix the gas tank, or good parts car if you are looking for a 5.0 roller cam engine. Might even make a good derby car if you are into that. It's not a rat rod, hot rod or anything like that, It doesn't even have a big spoiler on the trunk lid, but it could be all that if you wanted to make it so. Some flat black paint and red wheels is all it would take. If I had to assign a catchy name to it, I'd have to call it a Shitrod.
No pics, this is a 1988 Lincoln Town Car. If you don't know what one of those look like, imagine a large chest type freezer with two 55 gallon fish tanks on top of it, and some wheels on the bottom. "Box on Box" styling I think it was called. If you are looking for cutting edge aerodynamics, this is not the car for you. This old pig cuts through the wind like a haywagon and takes corners like the Titanic. In spite of that, it still gets around 20 mpg on the highway when it's not puking gas all over the place. Not a great car to have if you have a 50 mile commute to work each day, but absolutely great if you need a ride downstate to get your mom out of prison.
Cash only, no trades. I'll keep this ad up for a week or so, then she's falling under the hotwrench and heading to the crusher. If this sounds like the car of your dreams, don't dawdle with you reply because I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of interest in this gem and I'd hate for you to miss out on this opportunity to enjoy some REAL American Made Luxury ad a very affordable price. So hurry on down and let me know what I have to do to make this car yours TODAY!

Pete

There was a Town Car in the neighbourhood, guess the kids bought the vanity plates "DAD'S PIG". They loaned me one when my Probe was in for work, the kids were right.

You don't have to call me Darlin', Darlin'
You never even call me by my name.
