My 1998 Town Boat Signature, which you have worked on, is such a great car. Jason, youd be proud of me, I replaced my radiator cooling fan yesterday. It took less than an hour. It had stopped running and the old girl overheated on me when we had a hot day here. It was just three 8mm bolts, a couple of knuckle scrapes, and voilà, new fan. Ill need to bring her over before winter to flush and refill the coolant.
My 2000 Grand Marquis gets around 22-25mpg which I think is great, since I'm currently daily driving it in Sweden, which has one of the highest fuel prices in the world. I love these panthers ❤ You got a good deal on them, and anyone who buys them from you will likewise get a good deal 💪🏼
Nice old rig, here in Australia we only have the Ford Falcon, Fairlane, LTD,any other ford is a Mazda with Ford badge, 😂 thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
The back seat controls for the radio, CC, and seat are only on the L body. Some high end model Grand Marquis also have the air suspension, so keep an eye out for it when lifting those too. Far as I know They used the same r470W transmission all the way from 94? (Whatever the first year with the 4.6 was) till end of production in 2011. On the mileage, my 95TC was the best one I had getting an easy 26 MPG on the highway. my 03 GM, both 05 TCs and 06TC get 22-24 on the highway. (they all get like 16 in city driving.) On the AC, there isn't really a lot that can go wrong, as long as it's not leaking, or the compressor didn't grenade it's self at some point in the past. Usually a low pressure switch or low on refrigerant. I've got one that the compressor blew up on and even after having a new one put on she never had AC again because everything else is full of shavings that keep plugging up the orifice tube. Was questioning the Air suspension light being on... Really sad to see the standard springs in the back. Having three 06-05 TC's, one that had the standard springs, it really kills the ride quality. Still rides better than most cars these days, but just isn't nearly as good of a ride... The air springs are also great if you're loaded down with people or cargo, keeping her nice and level. She's still a great car, but gotta have the air suspension on an L body. Waiting for the details on the 04. I don't need an inspection sticker over here, but do need everything working where I can put 20,000 miles in it in the first year.
You’re half right on the transmission thing! Although they were all classified as 4R70W’s they were not 100% interchangeable through all years due to some electrical changes! I just wasn’t sure of the interchangeability years!
THEY HAD IMPROVED HEAVY DUTY UPGRADES,, AFTER 2006. THE TRANS,, BEFORE,, WERE PRUNE TO BREAK DOWNS. THE SUSPENSIONS,, ETC. WERE UPGRADED TO MAX. HEAVY DUTY. *** these were built on the PANTHER PLATFORMS ,, UNDER EXTREME DUTY USE. AS HOTEL LIMOS. THE P.71,, WERE USED AS POLICE,, SECURITY,, 🚕 🚖 🚕 TAXI,, SERVICE TOO. MANY 🚕 🚖 SERVICE CO. Kept a few EXEC. L.S'',, FOR THEIR VIP. CUSTOMERS. MY GRAMPS STILL DOES. HE OWN A TAXI. CO. 🚕 🚖 🚕 🚖 IN MIAMI FL.
the old 94 4.6 gets 16mpg on E10 and 9mpg on that E85 stuff... always on the pump station that dictates what goes in it, hit 87 and they just dump in whatever's cheapest... engine swap out of whatever it was and put the mustangs chrome skull on the fuel rail. why they push for LS swaps I don't know... more 4.6 cores.
I must of missed something 🤔 I was saying buy them but u said ur offer was declined? I'm in Ohio but I would buy either Town Car. Not sure what all it takes to get it in the USA

Maybe you’re looking for work! 😜
@@OldeCarrGuy I actually enjoy doing body work and painting.
Back when I took auto shop, cars still had carburetors, so my skill set is a bit rusty.
Be a nice base for a “Hot Rod Lincoln “! 🎶🎤🎶
Oh yes!

Never thought about the electrical controls from the back seat but makes perfect sense. But yes, this is a stop gap car!
Exactly. You’re buying price. Just happens to be wrapped in millennium era luxury!

Interesting! Thanks Donald
Great video! I have a 2007 Executive and love it. I wonder how its ride quality compares to a Rolls Royce or Bentley.
I probably never will drive a Rolls or Bentley, so I’ll likely never know, but I would assume it’s much like this!

Kinda neat car
Man i cant believe those are all still kicking.
You probably recognize them eh?
@@OldeCarrGuy i sure did. Put a lot of miles on all of them

Hmmm....I have an 2008 CVLX. Maybe it's time to step up to a Town Car. 🤔
Do it! 😂
Beautiful cars
We agree!
Great looking cars!
Makes one wonder who's asses were in those seats?
Right! Famous or infamous?
I must of missed something 🤔 I was saying buy them but u said ur offer was declined? I'm in Ohio but I would buy either Town Car. Not sure what all it takes to get it in the USA
You missed the previous video! Owner called me back and we struck a deal! Very little effort to have these cars enter the U.S.
Definitely getting one or two of those air compressors
They really are handy rigs!

Part 2.5 since it’s a limo? Just a suggestion!!😊
You might be right! 😂
What?! You did get them?! I need to keep up..
C’mon Tim!
