quite a few nice cars in that line up.
and I hope the move goes well for the both of you
87 Town Car
78 LTD
77 Country Squire..
All 3 of those were in near mint condition when I got them.
To be fair I keep breaking wranglers and they only let management drive the raptors...
You remember some of these cars... Remember the fun we had with that Continental?
This is what I have these days. V6, black interior, 5 speed.

I almost bought another one here in SoCal that was red with a functional digi dash. wanted 700$ for it and it was a stick. had 207,000 miles on it though. walked away, look back regretting that because it wasnt in bad shape except for the complete lack of brakes. the brakes were completely siezed up but released at least.
