djcwardog Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 My last Lincoln was a 1975 Mk 4 with a souped up 460 and race-built C-6 transmission. That car seemed to be Lincoln’s last gasp at using the best FOMOCO components - stout 460 big block, C6 trans, 4-wheel disc brakes w rear anti-lock - all hydraulically boosted (no vacuum brake booster) and a Ford 9” rear. Most folks failed to understand why, but I loved that car for 40-mile Interstate commutes to work. What it was built for! I think my next (and current) Lincoln offers a bit more…. The Drivers Package really help to keep all 400 HP down on the pavement. These are very nice cars and I plan to enjoy mine. jmcgliss and gfong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcwardog Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the welcomes! I’m checking into getting the switch panel or replacement buttons along the right side of my infotainment screen. My hazard lights won’t work and my auto park won’’t function. Plus those buttons do not light up at night…. Otherwise, this car is awesome! Edited November 4, 2022 by djcwardog Add photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
