If you're coming to SF, check the junkyards. There's always a bunch of Aero's there.

If you guys go to the junkyard can you keep an eye out for the trunk piece? I'll happily pay for the part and for shipping if I can't pick it up locally... I'll even pay an extra 25% finder's fee. Just don't bother if it's nicked, scratched for faded. Looking for like-new condition to match the new TYC tails I'm ordering.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

I'll take it if the condition from trashed to new is at least 7 out of 10.

If anyone's looking for cheap tires, the Futura 2000 LTE might be a good option. They have waaaaay more grip in the wet than the 10-year-old BFG Touring T/A's they replaced!1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

So how fast is she? At least as fast as an AE86. :P Me and my boy in his '85 GT-S locked it up from a 35 roll... We were dead even until I hit the governor. I used a different GPS app and it read 108 this time.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

What do you recommend for a driveshaft supplier? I want a lighter driveshaft anyway to reduce rotating mass.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

a fleet car of the same vintage and it's aluminum drive shaft... or spec one out at Denny's Driveshafts. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/
kinda pricey at Denny's, but they're damn good.
