I agree, except my brakes will lock at times. I wish my car had the Sure Track option.

When I have the $ to burn, I seriously want to see if the original early Mark III version of Sure Track (with sensors at each wheel) could be installed front and rear on my '77.

...and either a '78 or '79:

A Dark Red '77 Coupe:

The regular red, which I think is the color on the red and white car above, probably wouldn't look good with the Dove Grey interior. The Dark Red originally available back then likely will though...

Dove Grey interior was originally available with Dove Grey, Black, Light Silver, White, and Dark Red paint. Much as I really love Dove Grey on a Mark V (I own a '77 Cartier), I don't think it looks nearly as good on a 4 door Continental/Town Car. I'll skip the black, since you want a change. Silver ...

Car looks fabulous. Good to see it on a ride...

Looks beautiful. Do you have any interior pictures you can post as well?

Wiring diagram? Do you really mean the service manual/schematics? I got my book years ago from here:

I usually don't care for Forged wheels on a Mark V, but they look great on your car. That's a beauty. Hope Vanessa goes to a good home. Good luck, Perry.

I know this is about newer Town Cars, though with their connection I'll add the below. In 2005 when I flew out to Montana to see the Mark V I bought, I rented a Crown Victoria. I don't remember exactly what year it was, though it had to have been within a year of that. While it was a decent car, it ...

Naughty.

Bose Sound System - 1,192 out of 49,139 (not a common option I guess??) Though I never heard one in these cars specifically, from what I remember of the Bose systems in GMs of the era, the sound was nothing great. Their own Delco "Concert Sound" optional system was probably better soundin...

Eaton makes springs that are manufactured to meet the original design:

I also recommend the appropriate Bilstein shocks, if you can get them.

That's not the quad 8 track - that appears to be a dealer installed lookalike of the stereo only decks sold in some Fords at the time, and '78-'79 Lincolns ('77 only came with quad from the factory).

Enjoy!
