1984 Town Car. Yes, it's a little painful to have a Town Car as our Derby Car, but it's a fitting end for the car (used for the last 10 years as a fishing truck).

It didnt last very long this weekend. It had a wiring issue (lost a major ground) and wouldnt stay running or start after the 3rd or 4th hit. Fixing the issues and running it this weekend I think.

I'd hope it was pretty fucked up to use it as a derby car.

IIRC the car was also used to store caught fish and bait.

yes, for the last 10 years it was a fishing truck. when pulling the interior we found 3 long dead fishies of unidentifiable flavor.

the body and frame were actually in good shape before the derby. it had some minor running issues. unfortunately I couldnt get my hands on it before our derby driver or I may have saved it from destruction.
