The 88 Lincoln Town Car

[Andypot1985]

Well i decided to finally make this page.

The Car:
It is a 1988 Town Car, blue cloth(i'm searching for leather), Blue top, and a light blue exterior. 99k miles.


The Good:
No frame rust
Body is in good condition except doors
New sway bar endlinks!

The Bad:
Transmission is only a 2spd
Windsheild
heater core
the radio
left rear window
Thermal Blower lockout, no floor
The doors have rust
Motor leaks anti freeze
Doesnt have a 5.0 HO yet.
Cracked dash and door panels

Picked it up for $650 bucks and is now my project



needs to be cleaned:


Clean underneath!


Cracked door panels...


Rust.....




Bent trim


This needs to be fixed


really dirty engine. The idiot before me put dexcool in it. It EXPLODED EVERYWHERE.


New swaybar endlinks!


The Max, A road cone holding up the hood of the towny(need to get some hood struts) and the hhr hiding in the background.



This is going to be my long term project. I like to take lots of pics so dont worry about that!

Thats a Signature too. You're not finding better seats than what you have. The leather really sucks in these. Most of the time its horribly cracked and looks really shitty. the cloth holds up significantly better, and honestly I think its more comfortable anyway.

Just a word of advice on the doors, pull them when you find them. It took a long time for me to find 4 good ones for my car, a good 6-8 months of that was actively looking too. I'd also be harvesting trim bits when you come across them. Most of yours looks decent but for some reason it seems to be the rule that if you need one piece of trim, you'll find a car with absolutely perfect trim except the one piece you need.

Yes another towncar. I can get you some door panels if your staying with blue.

[Andypot1985]

I am def staying with blue. Can i see a pic of them? There is a car in the junkyard by me with the really dark blue interior, i was thinking of switching but there were missing pieces

Nice car man. I am glad you like taking pictures because I like seeing them.

nice towny!
those are the same seats i have, i agree with gadget, you probably wont find better
save your money, we can help you whiddle away at the to do list, got plenty of work at the moment, but will be needing work in a few weeks
we have one of the largest concentrations of u-pull-it yards of anywhere else........harrys (x3) denaples, ez-pull, acheys, etc

[Andypot1985]

Well i guess ill keep those seats then! I have been to lots of junkyards lately harrys, denaples, ect... there are not that many box TCs out there. Lots of aeros but not many boxes. Denaples has one, harrys has one(its rough) and morgan has one. I'm going to pull the drivers door off the one at denaples i would pull the other side but it was in an accident on that side.....

Nice ride! Was the previous owner a senior?

[Andypot1985]

The original owner was a senior until about two years ago. Then some guy had it and did not know much and now i have saved it

[LTDMan83]
