New occupant in the driveway

well It's not a Fox and it's not a ford but it fits right in the spot that was open in the driveway. I'll get some more pics of it after I wash it and make it all pretty but for now this pic will do.

It's made by Ford. It's a cool tank though :cool:

yeah they do. Honestly its more comfortable and has more power then the tbird ever had the whole time it ran. Im starting to like it more and more then the bird even if it does look like something my grandpa would drive Im lovin the hell out of that fact I get less cops thinking Im just a punk kid out with a toy as they drive by.

Honestly the bird depends on health related issues. If possible I'd like to fix it now that I have another car to drive and can take my time on the repairs instead of rushing to get things done. If it turns out I can't fix it up like I had hoped then I have someone in mind to buy it already so I know it'll go to someone who can get some use out of it either for a car to fix or for parts. If I do fix the bird I gotta find a mercury somewhere so I have ford lincoln and mercury in the drive.
I know if I do fix the bird it more then likely wont be a street thing afterwards due to local laws and MPG and such.
Besides with the gas mileage I get out of the tank I think I toasted the best I ever got with the bird at like 32 MPG.
I know most of whats wrong with the bird just dont have the funding or health to fix it at the moment. the latter being the main contributor here. It also matters on if I can figure out a way to take it when I move this spring.

I like the Lincoln town car, especially the big boat of the 1977-1978 with a 460-4V, But since Ford was released in 1979 and after a "boxed" lincoln continental  I never liked it, but I like Your model of lincoln continental made by FORD, division of LINCOLN/MERCURY :grinno: ...

The only problem with the newer lincoln's like Your, is the lack of power, I liked My Marquis Brougham 1974 with a 460-4V, thats a very powerful for a 4.490lbs car...

cougrrrr dude I been around just not really seen alot I been walkin everywhere since the bird petered out on me. Come on over whenever dude Im off work til after sunday at least. If the car aint here it'll be down at super8 or wal mart. Anytime in the afternoon though much before noon and my butt aint gonna be out of bed.
 
Tbirdmaniac actually the car suprised me with how much power it has. It's got the 4.6 overhead cam engine they stuck in the stangs in it. As big as the car is it's not as heavy as I expected it to be. It's not a speed demon that goes 0-60 in 4 seconds, but it deffinately has some pick up to it.
Im suprised with it all around. Its comfy as hell, It's not a pooch, it looks good, and it has descent power. The only drawback compared to the ones from the 70's is you  near have to be a computer tech to work on this one. Hell my rear suspension is even electric.
