Far from junk. If its not rusted out they're totally salvageable. They're one of the most rugged automobiles ever made that are just as technologically advanced as anything made today cept they don't make town cars anymore. Great channel!
If they’re good enough for polo, they’re good enough for me!
I concur. I've owned oh about 12 or so of them in different makes from crown vics, cop vics, Mercury and lincoln from early 70s but mostly 1996 and up. I spoke to a fella online and he said he used for livery and limo and he gets 700k if it's maintained on time. Taking care of a panther is the key. They're simple to fix, cheap, and will always be worth the time and effort. They don't get the props they should. For a man with a family, or lady, you can't beat it. So comphy, quiet, large for 6 ppl and had so much room in trunk, unless u put a huge box and sub. Save money and just hook up a wiper motor to a kick pedal from a drum and hook a harbor freight Rubber mallet to it and have it hit a empty 55 gallon plastic drum. I love loud Metallica, Nirvana but that Bass shakes my teeth and gives me a headache. Anyhow great cars. I wish I'd found them while in HS in early 90s and not chased Trans Ams, Camaros and mustangs. All I did was work to have money to fix, go faster break down and repeat. If I had my Paps mercury Grand Marquis, he worked at ford in Ohio so he got a hell of a discount. 20% Plus some extras I believe. 2 door. Door so heavy my 10 yr old arms had to work to get them to shut. He told me back then how great they are. But I wanted to go fast, not old, and slow.
Shear pins in the window motor. 3 plastic pins. Check out Tony's garage here for instructions .proud of you!
I’ll definitely check it out!
I got a ‘97 for $450 (+$50 fees to the cops) at a police auction in Michigan. The auction listing said “Arrest”. So I figured “Ran when parked, right?” Indeed it ran, and pretty darn well! After cleaning it out (full of junk and filthy), I drove it for the better part of a year, trouble-free. All I had to do was a Permatex Ultra Black sealing of the rusty, weeping oil pan. Drove it to Tennessee where I traded it in on my wife’s ‘08 Town at Darrell Waltrip Honda Used Car Dept.! They gave me $400 as I recall!
Use what you got right?
Hell u pretty much broke even after a year and a tube of sealant. I tried to give my son my 99 Cartier and he said it's too big, it's Rwd, etc. Yes it can be a lil tricky in snow and ice but ya know, so can all things. Worse time I had was in a front wd Honda when I made a turn and she kept going straight. As long as you got rough light truck tires on back, and a few bags of sand, etc and can't mess around if a hill is coming up, get up to speed and she'll run right up it. And I like how I can control the car with the gas pedal. I've seen alot of ppl before the 80s drive Rwd cars everywhere. All else fails they got chain type products that are way way easier to put on, take off and you don't have to fight them. Love these cars.
@@jasonchristopher2977 I run four proper winter tires, and about 300 lbs of bricks/comcrete in the trunk. Nothing can stop me. It’s really hard to add ballast to the front axle of a fwd car. Plus, I hate trying to steer those things with my right foot. With rwd, it’s actually fun to do and facilitates great car control.
Great job on the budget engine repair. Expecting to see brake line repair and a burnout in Lincoln - Part 5.
Coming soon! 😂
Great Video I had a 92 it lasted me for 7 years. The window problem is the gears they are made of plastic. When it gets hot outside they melt. Great job on get it started.💪💪💪
Thanks for sharing
@@OldeCarrGuy you are welcome brother 💪💪💪
She lives! Well done 👍
That's actually a good idea with the Crazy glue 👍
Right?!
The Lincoln Town Car saga continues.... Congrats on the engine fix. 👍
Thanks Andy
I love this guy he is honest hard working and he do what he say he will do and down to earth so today l learned a lot of things from him so l am going to do the right thing and like this video and share.
Thank you 🙏 for these Awesome videos
Thank you my friend!
I have a 97 Town Car. Still learning about how to keep it in good running order. I put a new engine in it and also built a bypass for the heater core so I can run the AC. Thanks for the video. Washington State U.S.A.
I've had my son in law's white on blue 93 Signature for over a year now and it still gets me from A to B. 287,000 miles (462,000km) and it ticks and has no heat and no grille and 2 of the windows don't work and it has other annoying issues but honestly it's going in my garage after I finish up my minivan's front end work and I will be doing a heater core and some tune up stuff and ball joints and all because my stepson needs a car and this one's AC is still cold and it's a rust free vehicle so it'd be perfect for him. It'll also free my garage up finally to get a nice project car. 65 Biscayne sedan with a 230 six and 3-speed on the column is at the top of my list followed by some 60s pickups and other basic fleet-ish vehicles from the 60s to the 70s. Something simple that hand tools are more than enough to fix anything on it.
They’re all worth saving my friend!
Thank you for this head assembly video, I never understood the differences between OHV and OHC heads, or why Ford made the 4.6 an OHC engine, but now I get it, I see how it goes together and why it still has lifters and rockers!
It’s really not much different than a pushrod engine. This was a first for me!
I think you are Awesome and I love how you put so much love into saying these big Bad Kitty's 👍👍👍👍 I don't own a panther anymore but I still think they are a great platform and I appreciate everything you do. You are awesome Sir.
I appreciate the confidence you have in me! Thank you
Yes she's alive again
It lives!
Definitely worth the money you have in it. Once you are done fixing it up. You can get alot more for it. I'd love to own another Lincoln.
It will be for sale!
@@OldeCarrGuy wish l could get it but then l would become a Panther platform hoarder and become an addiction as l also luv my Merc after 7 years of use.
I can't wait to see the next one.
Stay tuned
don't forget to buy a CalVan insert kit and bore and thread the sparkplug holes, it's so much easier when the head is off
A bit too late now! 😂
What an awesome steal. Love it!!!!
It’s for sale! 😂 free delivery!
@@OldeCarrGuy bring it on down. I got a kid looking for his first whip
just a l;ittle tip me my family owned several lincoln town cars if the brake lights ever go out there is a safety feature to keep you from getting hurt the car wont start ,
you are going to have to turn the key switch on and put the car in neutral to start the car, its to keep u from being rear ended. just a tip a fuse blew the brake lights out once and the car would not start as a a safety feature. this could be helpful since the car is 25 years old. anyway great video .... keep it going love those lincolns.
Good to know. Thanks for the info!
500 , parts , labor an all you still couldn’t touch it 2500 no doubt!!
Rock Auto is Awesome they have Saved me SOOO Much Money 💰💰💰
Me too!
what a classic.! but l cringed on hearing that it'll be a winter car and to soak up the salt. rims look terrible with the corrosion. great job and video on resurrection.
Don’t worry Carl, we’ll undercoat it good.
Panther content always hot.
Right! Thanks for watching!
I like the exhaust note. It sounds like my Grand Marquis. 👍
A bit snappy for me!
one very friendly suggestion, if you want an additional potential 800 subscribers in the next month, equalize the volume level of the music with the volume of the voice :)))
Got it! Thanks for watching
Panther cars man I can’t tell you how big of a community it is out rhere
lotta Old Fosils out there
Definitely! Proud to be a part of it!
as Rainman Ray would say at 9:36... "Flashlight Gravity!"
😂
Please do more videos on this car take care my friend till next time.
Definitely Robert!
It’s alive!! It’s alive!! 😂😁
Fantastic and entertaining video!!!
Thanks Tony
Hey its better to blow the brake line trying to do a burnout than doing it on the road, hooning is just stress testing 😂. Congrats on getting it running! 👍
About your beeping key, I had to swap out the ignition lock cylinder on my 96 mustang for a similar issue and it took me a while to figure out how to get around the antitheft. If you run into that issue there's some procedure where with the new cylinder installed you can reprogram the antitheft by flipping the ignition on, waiting 15 minutes, flipping it back off, repeat 3 times. Takes like 45 minutes to prevent it being used to steal cars, but it means you don't need a programmer. I have a copy (ISO, like a DVD but a file) of the 96-99 Ford factory service manuals if you want, send me an email if you're interested in the service manuals or the full key reprogramming procedure.
I’m definitely going to get that information from you! Thanks
Nice tribute to Vice Grip Garage you and Derek should do an episode together.
He'll be on our livestream in a few weeks!
@@OldeCarrGuy That's awesome this Feller will be tuning in.
Girlfriend says it's purdy lol and I love when they got junk in trunk....lol
Lol! Oh it has junk!
I think these cars are durable,i have seen them go beyond 400,000 kms with little maintenance. Still want one for a chassis swap under something like an f100. And to think techs do this stuff all day long. Im out of it now, bad back has put an end to that. Krazy glue? I guess. I use weatherstrip adhesive. Same idea.
Idler pulley, i keep a few 6203 bearings and press em in as necessary. Shop around, they are cheap.
Crazy glue sets up fast. No waiting. Lol
Nice job.
Thanks bud!
I was a bit surprised you didn't change the water pump while you had the cooling system drained and you were right there. I guess this was a budget job, so you stayed with the concept.
Exactly. Budget was in mind all the way to prove you can fix these cars cheap. Either way, the water pump is an easy swap at any time!
Heck yeah! Let's see some burn outs or I'm unsubscribe 😂
Stay tuned!
Way cool!!! Love my ‘97! Love your exhaust..can you share the hardware setup?
It's just a couple of glass packs on a factory dual exhaust. You can see the setup in the first video: ua-cam.com/video/JkcssAW5Q4Y/v-deo.html
@@OldeCarrGuy thank you
Congrats on your growth!
Even my videos have jumped significantly in viewership!
What is happening?
I’m not complaining!
I just sold my 97 Towncar for scrap. It was either the coils or sensor box? I gave up, it was a lush ride. For one day at least.
Too bad! Worth more than that in parts!
Any special polisher that you used to Cut & buff up? thanks
Ps: interesting video all different aspects of what you've done. as far as the " head is concerned" did you clean it up yourself or it wasn't machined, just curious.
thanks looking forward to seeing more of the Suburban, not necessarily the Yugtoyo I mean who drives one of those things ! thx
I always use 3m cutting compound 36060.
I did clean up the head surfaces with brake cleaner and a a roloc disc.
I appreciate the questions and hope to see you in the comments of more videos!
Absolutely beautiful car I own a bigger Lincoln
I have a feeling it’s going to be hard let this one go!
Did you swap in new o rings on the fuel injectors?
I didn’t! But I did inspect them! All good 👍🏻
Old car guy I have a small intake manifold leak the front left of the intake manifold is it anything that I could put in it without having to change the whole intake manifold
Unfortunately the fix is gaskets or the entire manifold. Either way it has to come off. It really isn’t a terrible job!
@@OldeCarrGuy thanks!
That was a lot less work than any engine swap, glad to see that you got her going. That car is WAY to nice to scrap, I would drive the crap out of it.
And what the flock is it with these asshat manufacturers and their crappy brake lines that rot out!? My '97 Thunderbird needs brake lines too! While my rotting off the frame '89 K5 Blazer with it's factory brake lines stop just fine. Same deal with my '65 Impala, factory brake lines that still work like new.
That was my point all along. Far less effort to fix one engine than pulling 2!
@@OldeCarrGuy
Then why were you asking for engine swap ideas? LOL
@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 testing the waters mostly! But went with budget repair to get it going. Engine swap might not be completely off the table!
@@OldeCarrGuy
What are you thinking, maybe 1 through 4 cylinders are washed out from fuel being sprayed in those cylinders and not firing? Is that why all the smoke is blowing out the tale pipe?
Or maybe the smoke is unburnt gas in the converter(s)? Or both?
Anyway, if you're going to do a swap I vote for a Ford 300 L6 with the 2 into 1 LS head conversion. Build the engine while you see if the smoke clears up?(burns out of converter(s)) If you want help on the conversion I can help direct you if you have any questions. Happy to help, I really want to see one of these engines run, a lot of yt guys started one but I haven't see one running yet.
You're a bigger channel, maybe you can scoop the others? I can walk you though the mechanics of it, electronics side you're on your own if you want fancy EFI. But maybe a Vortec 4200 EFI can be adapted the easiest? Or if the later model Ford 300s came with EFI?
Would u sell it
Everything is for sale in my world! If you’re interested, look me up on Facebook or Instagram.
Personally I blame squirrels
And women are from Venus!
@@OldeCarrGuy hello sir how are u I'm trying to start a channel I bought my first auction cars for 275 dollars I put a video up
@@williamhorsley7799 I'll check it out!
@@OldeCarrGuy l just have had a new neighbour moved next door from Ontario and she is from Mars or is more like a Woman from Hell...
🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
A lot of bad info and audio is not consistent...
Thanks for watching though!
Damn that’s a solid rebuild but Jesus with as much work and parts I’d write rock auto and get them to sponsor you on some of these rebuilds.
Already on it! lol
