Got another lincoln!

Well after looking all day saturday finally found the perfect car i was looking for Last nite. Found this one owner Lincoln Mark 8 with 162k on the odometer. This car is MINT and got it for a steal... $2200 . When i talked to the guy he said the ac wasnt working and needed compressor and lines and also it has a small exhaust leak (y pipe). We went to my brother in laws house w hes is a licensed ac guy and we tested the whole system and it held pressure and all, ended up being a 5 dollar fitting. So now AC is blowing at a constant 42 degrees . Getting exhaust leak fixed first thing tomorrow. I got 24.2 mpg on the way home. Overall i think i got a great car On to the pictures

Yes sir, it will keep you pinned back in the seat until you let off. Played with a little ricer on the way home and lets just say i saw a little blur in the rearview

Well i have just finished up fixing the little stuff. The exhaust leak was the egr tube, had midas weld it back up and now she is nice and quite. Have a appt at 1:00 today for some winder tint, then this evening a nice wash,clay,and wax....

Any of yall know how hard it is to change plugs on the car? by looking at the motor it looks very easy, looks like they are almost on top of the motor.
