Moby Vic, BWAHAHAHAHA! PERFECT!

In the mid 80's II had a 77 LTD (Brogham??) some type of luxury option?...an uncle gave it to me...... It was more like a Continental.... Hidden headlights, Power Everything, Landau Top, it was Silver.... It had a 460 4bbl - the damn thing was fast & a gas eater.
460 was a great motor - smooth etc.
within 2 years though.... the headlight doors stopped working, the bumpers literally rusted and fell off, and best of all - the sunroof (which I never even used) would leak... rain water would pool in the roof..... so when you hit the brakes the driver and passenger would get a good soaking (no BS)... it was hysterical.
So I'm not sure it wouldve made a good demo-derby car because of how rusty it got!
I completely forgot I ever owned it till I saw this post...

Guys, I have a line on a 74-5 Lincoln with the 460 four-barrel, it is running and has 1500 miles on a rebuilt engine, trans, and rear end. Would this be a good one for Stock? It looks brand new (Continental). Lee

[Dave Noll]

Thanks Alan. Was beginning to think it wasn't possible to find one.

Lee, does it have a spreadbore carb ? Either a Thermoquad or a Motorcraft ?

[Dave Noll]

Lee, I can't even find a Lincoln in the Guide.

If you find one out of the rust belt, and you weld the bumpers and those nasty bumper shocks real well, they are a beast. I have the trophy to prove it.
