Vehicle Detail
I have owned this mild custom for 3 years and have enjoyed the hell out of it. Car runs excellent. I have driven it all over Southern California and on a few long distance runs (400miles plus) with no issues, 75-80 MPH on the freeway, 180 degrees, and around 15 mpg- no B.S. Although the car is powered by a 455 Buick Stage I motor the Lincoln rear has 2.55 gears. Perfect freeway combo! This car has been in this mild custom configuration for the last 30 years or so, with upgrades along the way. Motor was rebuilt just before I bought it.
