Just the other day one of my customers walked in and wanted a battery check on a garaged, clean, 2004 Lincoln Town Car that sits most of the time. It's for sale and I showed mild interest in it but it was dark, there was dew on the car and the general condition was questionable until I could see it in the sun. Well he came in and I bought it on the spot. Allow me to introduce my new 2004 Lincoln Town Car Signature. Silver over grey leather. Air suspension has been replaced, clean inside and out, 118K miles, well maintained and garaged. Drives as silent as a recording studio and smells new inside and only two flaws. Rear bumper has a sizeable scratch and the driver door mirror glass has gone dark. Those are a trifle considering the $3200 purchase price.

Absolutely beautiful example of a well maintained car! I would love to find something like that. I've just spent the last week replacing the intake, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, plugs, and coils. Shes back to square but still doesn't make me grin like that Lincoln. Congratulations man!

So when do you drop in the 427W and make that Lincoln an 'R' code sleeper!?

I foresee marauder wheels and sans hood ornament in the near future!

DOHC heads and 4:11 gears should be priority lol

The bags are gone, coil springs now. Not my favorite but this was too good to pass up.

Not this time. The quiet, disconnected driving experience is the allure. It gets left stock except for the sound system. Likely navigation, rear camera, and speaker/sub upgrade.

And then Marauder-like Wheels and Hood Ornament delete?

Great find!!! I forget that I look 110 years old whenever I'm in my Lincoln, but I must be getting a bit older because as you mention sometimes its just so nice to drive in a car that feels like a sofa on a cloud without any noise.

Yeah I left mine alone for about a month and then starting trowing parts at it.

If I could find a TC like this, I'd buy it!

Sounds like you should've bought a Terdyota Camry!

As previously noted in a longer thread, I recieved a brand new TC as a rental, after snotty rich neighbor punk kid wrecked into my Mercedes 18 years ago.

Dead summer hear 110 degrees, pregnant wife, we simply loaded the boat with supplies on nights and weekends, and slowly cruised all over NorCal for 35 days w set climate control at 68. It saved us that summer, and I hated to return that car.

Always wanted one since then. With the mods FW Linc/Merc has done... I'd buy one now in an instant.
