    Here's a special lead for you.....
    All (well, almost all) the parts you need to make your own one-of-a-kind wagon.

    In the early to mid 80's, the Lincoln Continental 4-door sedan was part of the 'fox body' family. Here's one that runs, has a good leather interior, electronic dash, and i think it even has a disc brake rear end.....all for $995!

    This car looks so nice, I would hate to see it parted out. :banghead3:

    These are sweet cars...my best friend has one like this in black.
    $995.00! :idea: Maybe someone will just turn this one into a wagon! :smash:

    hmmm I could use a new dash....:scratchchin:
    I wouldn't want the whole car. I wonder if he'll part it out?

    And that front end would look cool on my wagon. :mischeif:

    Nothing wrong with it. Well, Andy's gonna rebuild it and install it in one of his boats. I blew something when I changed the carburetor and dropped a bolt or screw into the manifold. It ran fine but had no oomph.

    What I want for mine (and I kept the V8/I4 K-member after using the I6 K-member for the donor I6), is a nice 1988-89 TBird Super Coupe 195 HP Turbo I4 with a 5-speed stick. The Squire only weighs 2,645 lbs. If a 5.0 can haul a 1991 Colony Park (it must be EFI or Turbo), then that I4 will do just fine. My 302 only had 145 HP stock. The I6 is 85 HP. and its torquey, no highend though. but for the flat Prairies, its fine. 195 HP would be a treat.;)

    And I'm looking forward to it, since it's a Mexican block. :dance:
    Gonna build me a rather stout bottom end.
    See, if I put it in a boat then I won't have to worry about speeding tickets. :cool:
