1984 Lincoln Town Car for parts- Batavia IL.

It’s a very unmotivated seller. The seller is actually not a private individual. It’s a customization shop. The person I was emailing was not willing to send me any of the pictures I requested or work with me on a time in the evening for me to come out. He basically said he wanted nothing to do with the project of building the car into a demo car. It was his boss wanting to do it to promote the shop.

According to Matt they didnt have much interest in working out a deal on the seats. No biggie.

So, how'd this go? Anyone scarf any parts off of it?
He's updated the ad on cl but the ad hasn't changed in wording or photo's.


It's a bit far for me to want to go to pull parts. Sorry 87gtVIC

Hey guys Long time no post but I've still been lurking LOL! There's an 87/88 iirc TC that got put out at LKQ North Ave last week but ive yet to go see her. I grabbed the cornering lamps off the one at Summit.

That’s the yard. It still stinks like hell! Trumbull asphalt is to the northeast and of the winds are right you get a nice mix of all kinds of odor.

I’ve actually been inside both of those plants back in my days as an industrial burner and boiler technician. Smells are the least of their problems! To this day I still can’t figure out how they haven’t blown themselves up at the asphalt plant.

Last time I was in that yard was maybe 2011. The city of Chicago had a big flood. Lots of cars underwater. That yard was full of flood cars. At first that is what I thought I was smelling, rotting flood cars. Nope it was the nasty air. Lots of CV taxis. Got lots of spare parts for my 75 LTD there. Went to three huge car shows. Lake of the hills was one, Chicagoland police car show was another, Remember going to a river boat Casino for dinner one night. It was in August, hot humid not pleasant weather.

Seats just unbolted for quick removal if seller of parts car seats are in good enough condition for me to want them.


They ain't my first choice (there are nicer town car style seats out there) but have been looking for a complete set of tan velour seats for a long time now so a guy has to settle.

Did you get the front seat ??
It that the yard next to the Argo Corn starch plant ? If so that place stinks !!

Made it out to the yard today. The place hasn’t changed one bit since I was there 15 years ago.

The car had more of a panoramic moonroof conversion rather than just removal!

Try the Pick and Pull in Summit. They have one with a burgundy interior. Unknown condition of the seat. A friend of mine saw it yesterday.
I just went to the web site and it is "plum" color. Row 5 . According to my friend, the sunroof had been cut out of it.

Thanks! I completely forgot about that place. It’s been probably 15 years since I’ve been there. I was at two LKQ yards , two smaller yards in Joliet, one yard in Lockport and one in yard Aurora yesterday.

Trip to pick and pull tomorrow!

I would but the only panther I know of in all the yards around here has no interior. Yesterday was junkyard adventure day since I was off.

Anyone in the Chicago area have an unwanted driver seat?

Okay man really appreciate. I will PM you my number just in case.

Dont go crazy though. I am interested in them as they will match my interior perfectly but will live on if things dont work out.

Sure thing! Always happy to help another panther fan out and save some good parts from a junkyard!

Yes. I am only interested in the complete set if in good condition. No pics of seats from drivers side of car but from what I do see the seats look to be in good shape.

Sounds good! If I can come up with another driver seat to have on deck ready to give him I’ll then go out there and get you better pictures.

@87GTvic - are you only interested if all of the seats can be purchased?
