1986 Lincoln Town Car review from North America
"Ford did it right with this year and car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pitman arm replaced.
Idler arm rebuilt.
Drivers side armrest cracked.
Trans shifts in and out of OD on highway
have not fixed yet.
Intake gaskets replaced, and was very easy to work on.
Dash is cracked.
Going to be painted at 160000 miles as paint is chipped in places.
Right side window will not work, bad motor.
Dash cracked.
Radio works some what.
Rear view mirror fell off.
AC needs to be fixed.
Air supply check valve broke.
High beam switch broke.
General comments?
Swapped my computer for this car, and love it.
More than enough room in it for my 4
children and wife and of course me. Three children still in car seats.
Very comfortable.
Car is solid from one end to the other with no rust under it, and only one rust spot on the body.
Seats are still in good shape for the year of the car, and that leaves me to think the car spent some time in storage.
Never fails to start, and is driven every day.
Is great on gas, but gas tank is way to small, cheap to fill about $15.00 when empty. $32.00 in gas for 500 plus miles
was not bad if you consider the size of the car.
Handles great, and will drive all day at 80 or 85 and never miss a beat.
