Ok so as some of you may know but most may not. My Vic is currently DOA...
anyway since my vic is currently dead I had to get me something else to drive..
So I flew up to IA from AL on Thursday March 11th. Pulled my grandfathers 93 Lincoln Town Car Cartier out of storage which it has been sitting in there for two years now.
Anyway we checked it out and I drove it back home Fri night from IA to GA to pick up my family I then drove it from GA back to AL to get my vic towed back to GA that same day.. Lets just say that was a very long day and I was up for more than 38 hours and 21 of those hours was driving..
Anyway so since it is overdue let me introduce you to my new panther..
Specifications:
1993 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Red/Red
150,000Mi
Fully loaded, Only thing it doesn't have is a sun roof.
Beleive it has the touring package as well.
Air suspension in the rear
auto lamps
auto high beams
auto dimming rear view mirror
heated outside mirrors
3:08 rear gear
dual exhaust
Cruise control
auto climate
to damn many way power seats with 2 memory settings
diamond spoke wheels
I have had to do some work on it cause of it sitting so long. We did the brakes the other day found the rear pass side caliper was sticking and had worn the pad down completely and was chewing the rotor up. Replace both rear rotor's and pads front and rear. After we did that I was driving home and the front calipers started sticking and smoking the brakes. Got two new front calipers and one new rear caliper (BTW I love these cars calipers are only $25/Ea). Now next paycheck I will get the last rear caliper and new rotors for the front and another set of pads cause they really got cooked. the new pads already are down to 50% glazed like a Mofo and cracked in a few places.
She really is in showroom condition. Everything works as it should, no tears or fading in the interior...

So there you go.. Once I can really detail her and borrow the wifes SLR I will snap some real pics of her but that should give you an idea.. Oh and she has 150k mi too :wink:

What happen to the Vic?

Don't know yet..

just lost power and started missing.. No noises no warning..

no compression at all on pass side bank.

My buddy when he has time is going to pull the timing cover and valve cover to see if it jumped time or broke the sproket or something..

Very dissappointed.. Only got to drive it for a couple weeks with the new exhaust before she broke..

Now trying to figure out what to do with it. Want to see about putting a MMR forged Longblock with TFS 38cc heads in but not sure if I will be able to swing that or not.

The town car looks new!!! And it has Porno Red interior Those cars are the most comfortable thing you will ever drive. It's like riding down the road on your living room couch!
