All fluids changed, running and driving.

Now insured, registered, and plated. Lincoln in the wild, in the Canadian Tire parking lot while I was getting additional keys cut for it. Longer than modern day parking spaces, and bigger than nearby SUV's......

some people are oblivious to it, other's heads snap around. Floats down the road. It has a few needs, most I can deal with, but going to pay a muffler shop to replace the exhaust.......

I am going to drive it back and forth to work for the next week or so, see how it holds up. After not running for 6 + years I am expecting some weeping/leaking seals etc.

That's a great looking land yacht you have there Paul. Brings back memories of my Dad's old Buick Park Avenue and prowling the streets of Calgary with it back in the day. I can't imagine dealing with a car that size in Calgary traffic these days.
 
That beast brings back memories for me as well. Although my Dad was a ‘Chevy car guy’, but a Ford truck guy, they all made land yachts back then. My first experience legally (I drove dads F250 around the roads of rural Langley at 14) driving my Dads Caprice Classic during my drivers test. It also has a relatively gutless 454 in theme with the 1970’s emasculation of the American V8. My first car that was mine,,,, was a 1970 Ford Torino GT, with 428 CJ, after my mum and dad, who knew nothing about cars, told me they would kick me out if I bought the 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger with 340 4 speed. Lol, why they let me buy the beast of a Ford over the small block Dart I’ll never know.

Of course my second vehicle made no sense but I was a rock star during cruise night Friday and Saturday, my ‘52 Studebaker PU with 390 ford big block. That thing was dangerous!!?
 
That's a big car! Back in 1985 I had a 1969 Cadillac Sedan Deville. It was really big four door sedan with a 472 inch V eight. Weighed 4900 lbs.

But looking at the internet, your two door Lincoln is longer and weighed more than my Cadillac!
 
Junk the steel springs and get it on airbags, plenty of room in the trunk for the tank and compressor. Or go the other way and make it a donk, put some 28’s or bigger rims on it. Like this T-bird:

Isn't that the same car as Frank Canon used in the 70's TV series?
