    Picked up a new Panther....

    Ok so as some of you may know but most may not. My Vic is currently DOA...

    anway 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:

      It looks damn nice, especially for that mileage.

      Whats the deal with the P71? I haven't visited CVN in a while... I haven't heard what happened to Count Blackula.

            Still don't know exactly what is wrong with the vic.. thinking it jumped time or something..

            she is being worked on slowly..

            Looking at getting a forged and stroked aluminum block 2v with TFS heads now though so I am hoping I can pull something off here...

            Really will depend on what exactly happened to the count..

              Very sexy! I'd love to have an aero Town Car...probably one of my favorite styles. That red on red looks awesome.
