@@AutoAuctionRebuilds yeah that is insane for that car. For $600-800 it might have been worth a go to try and get the transmission to come around, but I wouldn't pay that price for that car if it was clean and running and driving good.
Looking at what that town car is going for I say go for it. It would be a cool vehicle for the channel. Nothing beats driving around on something that feels like your couch.
I once watch an old guy pop out a bunch of hail dents. He had a propane torch to heat the metal and a squirt bottle filled with ice water. It’s a real skill to do what he did!
Being a former body and paint man I would just grind the paint off of the affected areas and work all of the dents out that I could reach the bottom side of on the hood and deck lid and skim the rest with filler, hood and all and paint all of the affected areas! Randy, When you see filler popping out of dents it's because it wasn't used properly! Not because filler is bad, When it's used properly it will outlast the car! Most of the time when you see filler coming off it's been used to cover up rust and that's it's intended purpose! Look at the muscle cars you see being done on TV , They will take a brand new part straight out of the box and skim coat it to make it flawlessly straight. If anybody at a car show tells you that their old collector car has no filler in it they're lying!
Yes! Been waiting for new upload! I remember riding in the front seat of my aunts town car when I was little, windows up, AC on full blast while she was smoking. My eyes would be watering the whole time! Good memories! 😂
I had an '84 Town Car when we lived in Yuma, AZ. The A/C worked well in it, and was welcomed! It isn't a carburetor, but throttle body fuel injection. It has 2 fuel injectors over the throttle plates, and they spray fuel into the air stream there. We would get 22 mpg on the highway with it. We would drive from Yuma to San Diego and still maintain that gas mileage even though the mountains would reach over 4000 feet, with about sea level at each end of the trip. Considering that the brakes didn't seem to work, I'd guess that the car sat for a quite a while, maybe a year. Those brakes don't have much feel to them, and it takes a while to get used to them, so they may actually work. Check the level of the brake fluid. The same with the transmission. On those, more times than not, you just need to pour a few quarts into it. I don't know about hail dents on the other cars, but I've been told that putting dry ice chips in the dents will make them pop out. Might be worth a try on a transportation car.
Awesome to see a mid 80's Town Car in this condition just sitting there waiting to be saved. FYI the center hood stripes are part of the Signature Series package as you may have noticed the matching stripes on the bodysides, and no its not carburetored it's a throttle body injection. One thing funny about it is that it's not equipped with leather wrapped steering wheel as almost all were in the signatures. Totally worth saving for who ever gets it in this condition. Spectacular find!
My '03 Elantra GT was only the second car I ever bought new. It came with sunroof, black leather interior (including steering wheel) and a 5 speed manual transmission. I put over 175,000 miles on that vehicle in 14 years before flood damage forced me to part with it.
The Audi is nice but I am sure it is pricy to fix. I would just fix the windshield and deal with the metal dents. Same with the Honda, that will last forever. The Hyundai, not what I would buy but that would be a great commuter car. The Town Car is awesome. Buy it! I love the Impala , I have one it is a great car. Great vlog.
I’ll replace the windshield first on the Audi before I’ll PDR anything then wait about 6 months to do such and loving the Honda Civic, beautiful piece and loving that 1984 Town Car‼️
the hyundai elantra would be a nice nice car for the channel just needs some pdr and the trunk and roof and hood in worst spots and replace the tail lights and maybe new brakes/tires
Glad you are back Randy and I have not been watching for a while now Randy and am sorry man,..had traveled back to the countryside to see my dad who has not been well for sometime....Missed your content man..
I had an 88 prelude 5 speed with 4 wheel steering she was pearl white with a chrome strip going down the whole bottom of the car that said Honda on the door. And with the 4 wheel steering that thing would whip around turns like no other vehicle I've ever driven
Welcome back Randy! Audi not bad. I’d drive the Honda. You could charge the battery on this Honda with your tornado! Damn Hyundai i think it’s the timing belt it happened on mine same sound! My bad Randy glad it’s running!! Good cleaning this Hyundai will be fine!! This Lincoln is the same i think that TK had last night maybe! Impala I’d try and fix the body.
The Audi is quoted around 35K on KBB, considering the salvage title and the damage if she goes around 20-25K could be a good deal if you can find the hood and the trunk used
I work in the office of a body shop. Even one from the dealer would be $1000-1500. You can get CAPA knockoffs for a fraction of that. Get your paint guy and glass guy and you have a bargain, especially if it goes closer to 20K than 25K
Randy I know you can't hold on to these cars but I wish you would of told us when you sent the expedition to IAA because I wanted to bid on it for my mom if I would of known sooner that you already sent it I could have moved funds to get it oh well I guess mess with it to late now
I also had a 93 lincoln town car. Very rough shape but it was also cloth let me tell that car was the most comfortable car ive ever had and ive had a few very nice cars.
Good to see you back Randy! I’m a Lincoln nut, so that Town Car definitely caught my attention! I believe that era 302 had a throttle body type fuel injection. I’d say if you added a quart of transmission fluid to it, she’d take right off! I’d love that radio out of it, someone stole the one from my 85 town car limo!
@@mexicanspec everything online says the 1984 model was a throttle body fuel injection system, and I know it was available before 1985 because my parents owned a 1983/4 Ford Crown Victoria with a TBI setup. I can’t imagine Ford putting the “latest and greatest” fuel delivery system (at the time anyway) on their Crown Vics and not on their Flagship luxury cars.
@@s31463221 Exactly. My parents had a ‘83 Thunderbird 5.0 with throttle body efi, the 5.0 car engines got port injection in 86 but had throttle body efi several years before that.
I don’t normally feel the need to say anything when you don’t post. You have a life outside of TH-cam I’m sure. You deserve a break every once and a while randy. Keep up the amazing content brother. We all appreciate it!!
I had a 1996 elantra super super basic car with manual windows manual door locks and a 5 speed manual had 150k miles. Let me tell you. That car was super cheap and super reliable ran better then some of the newer cars my friends had at the time
That thing in the trunk of the Audi looks like a rear windscreen for when the top is down. Too bad about that Town Car, a friend of mine's mom had one of those back in the late 80s, I was always so impressed with how fancy it was! 😅
That 84 Lincoln has what's called CFI-central fuel injection. They've had that since 82 or 83. That would make a nice cruiser with decent fuel economy. That would be a grabber.
Probably a good thing that TK didn't win the Lincoln, when he was bidding on it! Did you lose out on the fire truck? Glad to see you back this week, hopefully the family issues are better now?
That town car is amazing. 🤩 Although price is bit high for it. But yeah it would bring good content to the channel. Rescue/ Repair works and sending down to the road again.

The town car trans might run off a brake vacuum so if it don't have pressure it won't allow the trans to shift.
I don't think I have ever seen a transmission run off vacuum. All the transmission I have seen run off of a transmission fluid.

Any way you look at it it is a mistake to buy it. Most people don't have $35K tin cash to spend on a car and banks don't loan on salvage titles.

The honda civic when they have a dead battery and get jump started the light comes on you only need to drive it for 5 minutes and it goes away
Also, the radio on the town car should work better if the antenna is up. Just something to try in free future.

I believe the Town Car had Throttle Body Injection by 1984
This is from the Wiki page on the Town car. "the 302 V8 remained carbureted until 1985". That is what I remembered but I had to verify.
The Audi, if I got it cheap enough, I wouldn’t worry about the dents.
Get the Honda and the town car those are gems IMO
