God, I love large RWD V8's.

It would be my lotto dream car, but a good scratch off should cover it.

(Hey, I figured GT needed a break from all the politics...)

With the 700HP supercharged Super Snake engine please. :up:
I'd prolly end up installing a guarded switch cluster for battery, ignition, starter, etc. add a little more profile to the rear wheels, rout the ducting so it all works, and run a scanner and radar constantly.

Some of those old land yachts are cool. I had a 1980 Lincoln Continental Signature Series. 351 Cleveland. Can not beat the ride feel of coil and A-arm suspension IMO.

This was my beast. Same color as well.

I have had an assortment of RWD Detroit V8 in my time. :DL

This was my high scool cruiser, except mine was a 2-door.

1972 Mercury Maruis Brougham

427 ci, power everything.

Graduation night, I pulled the drain plugs in the trunk, lined it with plastic, put 2 pony kegs on ice and had 2 cases of hard stuff next to the spare tire on the upper ledge.

A travelling party. Yes, I stayed sober until the last stop.

My car during my Navy years, until I got married.

1987 Ford Thunderbird. Her name was Victoria. :cry:

I hope you're referring to the original, and not the crap remake. :O:

Some lovely models there....but how many of them didn't 'screech' whilst taking a corner at more than say 25mph? :O:

That was my college car. 9 passenger Porche! :D 455 cubic inch displacement and 4 barrel carb hooked to a 400 turbo tranny. Friggin tank that carried all my college buds to any destination of our choosing.

$1000.00 is not bad. The electronics need to be looked at to assure they work. My 1980 Lincoln had a wall of relays and some just did not work or chatter away when activated. No replacements. Also, the variable venturi carb was a nightmare. I think this Lincoln on Craigs list has a Carter carb. They are good carbs. Check the tranny!

I'm referring to the crap remake Eleanor. While I dig the yellow 1973 Mach 1....There is just something about that GT500 that keeps me up at night
