Thanks! Yes, everything is pretty tidy on it, save the saggy dash pad. All 7 power windows work, which is good b/c the original owner didn’t opt for A/C!

Picked this one up about a year ago. Not sure how long its staying around, but enjoying tinkering with it for the time being.

I have not been on this forum in quite some time, and am glad to see you still have this car. I wish the early 1980s Panthers would get more love than they do.

Wow! Congrats. I love the TC interior option on the '69.

Just curious - when you go to start, what procedure do you use? I floor the gas once, then turn the key without my foot on the gas (on a cold start). This seems to produce the shortest crank time. Any other sequence (holding halfway while turning key, etc.) seems to produce longer crank times. I hav...

The sound of the DOHC 4.6 in this video makes me want one. Hmmmm.

I'm not waiting till 60 (should I make it). For me, it was last year at 34.

So, would a 1987 have r-12? From the factory, yes. So, if it's never been converted and running on the original compressor, then it is still R-12. Any older car I've ever had that was converted had a conversion "sticker" on or near the replacement compressor that verified that it was runn...

R-12 is the old stuff, R134a is the new stuff. If memory serves, R134a was required of all new vehicles around the 1994 model year.

No sir, this group is mostly into the '60s cars, followed up by the '70s cars. Try http://www.grandmarq.net . They are mostly '80s Panthers. Based on the 1 pic above and your description, I wouldn't say more than $1K. For something that's been sitting for so long, outside, it could take much more th...

About 15 years ago, my Mark V (460) was doing this exact same thing.....the hotter the engine, the more likely it was to stall. It would restart if I waited a few minutes. We thought it was the ignition module, so we replaced it. Wrong. So, then we replaced the fuel pump.....and not another issue si...

Rejuvenating this post, since I just now came across the article myself on Hemmings. Even if you've already read it, it's worth another look. The car hobby is such an emotional one. Here's an updated link (above is dead): http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2014/03/10/family-jewel-this-long-lost-linc...

After all of the post-wreck damage that has potentially been incurred, I'm not sure that I would want it back.....sentimental attachment or not.

Thanks! I have various pics I've taken over the past couple years of it, but this is the only one I snapped last evening. It has "Midnight Blue" leather. It's a nice color given today's blah interior color choices on most new vehicles.
