In another forum I frequent we talked about this one. I’m usually not a fan of green, but that’s a nice wagon.

I do like the green and woodgrain.
Now that seat belt design... I guess it worked but sure is different. I suppose there are two retractors, one lower and one upper?1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

Looks like the 83 Mark VI ones i have in the Towncar. Dual retractors, 10x as annoying. If you don't pull it evenly one or the other will lock up and you have to reset and try again.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I had some problems recently with my lower retractor (driver side) after my mom got her silk scarf caught in the passenger side. You literally have to yank/pull the entire seatbelt out far enough around/away from your body to get it to the buckle or you have to fully retract it and try again. It was taking 2-5 minutes to slowly wind/feed the lower belt in by pushing it with fingers down in the mechanism. It just suddenly screwed up and fixed itself 10x better than it was before at one point after about 2 weeks of this. Still have to pull it all the way out (farther than it needs to latch) to get it to buckle.

yeah it sucks. If not for the fact the belts match the interior I'd put the 86 belts back in.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Of course. Cork gaskets from 1978, they're petrified at this point. The entire driveline will want to be re-sealed if you want to keep the juices on the right side of things.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

~$21,000 for that smog era turd??!!
Yeah, yeah, she's nice and all but good god. Powered by an anemic 351 too.
Who is spending money (especially that kind of scratch) right now anyway?
I'd rather have this:
Solid car, exterior shows some wear but you can drive it anywhere and it would blow the doors right off that '78. Plus, sequential taillights and bullet nose for the win.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD
