Jed,

If I wasn't getting the Older Gentleman's Town Car, I would be on this. Free bump for a cool car, GLWS.

I know a guy who's had a few of these. I need to talk to him anyway so I'll ask if he's interested.

Very well written ad, but I'd edit out the part about beating on the Crown Vic.

Digi-dash or gauges?

I, uh, am asking for a friend.

Thanks all and that's probably a good idea, Woody.

The dash is analog.

Do you happen to know if the guy is active on TheLincolnMarkVIIclub.com?

In reply to The_Jed:

No idea, I just know he's owned at least a couple. The one that he took to shows got totaled about a year ago, so there's a chance he may want another - especially at this price.

I looked at your build thread but many of pix weren't working. What's the current status/condition on the car?

The_Jed

Still driving it to work when I get tired of the Crown Vic. It's in the same condition, no overdrive.

Not sure what's up with the pics.

Edit:

Just remembered the driver's side window did a funny thing yesterday. While rolling it up it acted like the drive gear was losing contact with the driven gear. Hopefully I can make the time to inspect it soon. Possibly tonight, if it doesn't rain, since I have the night off.

Parts replaced semi-recently:

Fuel pump and hanger assembly

Struts

rear caliper

A-arm bushings (not happy with the install)

Passenger side window motor (robbed from my '87)

fuel filter, air filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor

front sway bar bushings and endlinks

I purchased an upper to lower intake gasket so I could pre-emptively replace the under-plenum vacuum lines but I was unable to remove the upper intake bolts. I broke all of the torx bits of the proper size in my possession. Now I have no time for wrenching.
