Today I drove it 30 minutes away to a Craigslist contact's house where he has his own private junkyard of about 20 cars...
where he had this 85 with parts that I wanted...
I ended up with,
- All 4 door switch trim pieces
- Fake wood lower dash trim
- Drivers seatbelt assembly
- Ash tray assembly
- Intake pipe (from radiator area to air cleaner)
The rear bumper was rusted the same way mine is, and the drivers thermometer mirror was broken or I would have snagged them too.Last edited by LSE_Dave; 02-26-2017, 10:30 PM.

Looks worlds better. I like that burled walnut look. That and the trim from '88 are my favorites but I think that takes the cake. Funny too is the headlight switch. You can tell you're missing an option as there is just waaay too much surface area left over lol.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Thats the good headlight switch. No stupid problems with the high beams and the switch is cheap. Same one I have. When I thought it was going bad many moons ago, it was $20 for a Motorcraft where the digital dash auto dim switch was $240. It was not actually bad, though I can't remember what the problem was.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I've never had a problems with my autoheadlight switch, neither has Ashley. Knock on wood I suppose but I'm a guy who likes his optioned cars. People think auto headlights and such are a thing modern cars have, so many people tell me I left my headlights on. I've started saying "Ok, thanks." rather than explaining it to them. Highbeam dimmer works OK, was real nice driving to and from Florida.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Haha yeah both my '90s have/had auto headlights, which I was amused by. All these newer cars people think it's super-fancy, and it was an option on our old dinosaur cars. I won't use it until I sort out my 3g alternator setup but still a neat feature.
I'm with Dave when it comes to simple, working things for the most part. That said, my new '90 is a more highly-optioned car than the first one, K-axle, factory duals, dual power seats, power antenna! I don't mess with it but at least I don't have to keep bending my antenna back to make it level, god that drove me crazy. I dunno, guess I just have a weird fascination for goofy old cars.

That's what I've got; a weird fascination for old cars. I still used my auto lights before I put my 3G on. Just use the minimum setting or close to it. I started using it as I didn't want to wear out the switch from pulling it out and pushing it back in all the time. Everything on that car feels so new, there's no slop in anything so I didn't want to start creating it. I never use the antenna either, well sometimes just to lube it and keep it working.
You new '90 is a rare bird, super rare to see dual power seats and the tow package.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Ever adjusted caster and camber with the old suspension? Its something of a bastard. Honestly thats a sell point for a brake upgrade right there. Adjustment cams vs sliding arm pivot points that affect each other.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
