My new project. Runs but will need some work to bring it back to it's former glory.

Always nice to see somebody that appreciates those old boats....

[martyo]

When I was a kid my neighbor had a brand new one of those and I always wanted to grow up, be succesful like him, and own one.

Ahhhh the memories......

One of the first cars I worked on as a "professional" mechanic.

[RoyLPita]

I've got a complete set of Ford repair manuals for the 1974 model year.

How many miles are on the mark?

[Egon Spengler]

I had an 89 Town Car Signature Series that I bought off my dad that he kept in MINT condition. I rearended someone with it and started to fix it, but wound up selling. I miss that thing and plan on buying another one someday!

[bobsawyer7]

The car has 84,000 original miles. Belonged to a "little old lady" who is now 97 years old and unable to drive. Her son is a friend of mine and got her to give it up. These aren't that valuable but I love the big old boats.

JEEZ!!

Does that dude drive any of his cars?

"Close up of the Write Tool Company inventory of the untouched collector series tool kit. I have not opened it."
That guy is NOT a car guy!...:shake:

Incredible time capsules, but I'm not into collecting 4 wheeled furniture.

That guy would lose his mind if the new buyer cut the car up for a thumpin' stereo and slapped 24" DUBs on it!.....:eek:

Peter, you have been scarce lately!!! I haven't seen you around.

[LIGHTNIN1]

Those were great cars.

I will have to poke around when i am not busy screwing off.

A real car with a real motor.

Yup, a 460in 7.5L, although it will need a good cleaning before it's presentable again. Hope to have it cleaned up by Spring

[Windsor58]

My Grandmother bought a 68 Lincoln Continental (with the 460) new. Loaded, leather, suicide doors - great car. She sat on a pillow because she was short so even the driver's seat was almost like new. It stayed in our family until just recentlly when my aunt sold it to a friend who is going to restore it (it sat for a while, so needed some mechanical attention, even though it still looked great).

This car should give you some inspiration. It was at the Geneva, Illinois car show this past summer. It has original paint and only 15,000 miles. It was the best in show in my opinion. Absolutely stunning in person.:eek:

[martyo]

I like that ^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!

[PonyUP]

Damn I love that car, I always wanted one of those

Looks like red interior?
Mine is white leather. Looks good with the white top.

Well, more like burgundy. Not the bright red 50's color.
