Well, if we get our hands on the Mercury, it is going to be parted out and junked most likely. So if it is in everyone's interest to save the car, then I suggest someone else buy it. 86VickyLX if you want to take it and make it into something, I send my most sincere blessings.

Fly, you could probably strip it down to the frame and just scrap the frame. 95% of this car is readily recyclable, INCLUDING the AOD transmission.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

Honestly my plans for it is to make it reliable, safe and possibly resell it lol.Comment

It's good to know that so much of the car is easily recyclable, and that would factor into my decision, however, if it can be properly taken care of and turned into something significantly better than what it is currently, that'd be great. As it stands though, we don't have the money or time for another project, and this would almost defintely be stripped of useful components and scrapped, probably before the T-Tags wore off, if not much, much sooner.
I would much rather see the car turned into something usable, and find the parts I need other ways, than butcher something that could end up being a decent car.1984 Mercury Grand Marquis LS (Daily Driver)

I WILL have another full size Ford - this isn't my first time owning a Panther - but this ain't the car, and now ain't the time.
I got bills to pay, the old lady's got pizzas to deliver and rewiring the car is beyond my grasp.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

Alright guys, tomorrow is Friday, and I need to know what's going on with this car.
Yes, it includes a '90 Crown Vic EEC-IV wiring harness, and ECU.
Do something with it, or something will be done with it.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

You guys have until Tuesday afternoon to make up your minds. Unless something miraculous happens and one of my customers gets interested in this car.
I'll call the wreckers on Monday afternoon to confirm the car's value. If it's lower than $400, I'll adjust the car's price accordingly. If not - hey, shit happens.
I'm going to lose the opportunity to buy a very clean car if I straggle any longer.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene
