4 years ago I worked as a mechanic that did a lot of work for car dealers. One customer brought this Lincoln to the shop to get running and be a quick flip. One Saturday I pushed the car in the shop to do the normal things you do to a car that's been sitting for 8 years. After a couple hours it was running so I started checking it out for state inspectiono to find it was a '73, the same year I was born, and it only had 74k original miles.I made a call that afternoon and bought the car for a few hundred dollars and a handful of towing jobs. Since then I did some sheet metal work on the lower quarters and rockers, changed the differential to a limited slip 3.70 gear, rebuilt the top end of the 460 with mildly ported 1969 429 heads, Comp high energy cam, weiand stealth intake, a Holley ultra 750 double pumper and MSD ignition. I'm not a fancy kind of guy so I decided to transform the personal luxury yacht into a big rowdy Mad Max style machine. It's a constantly evolving drivable project that gets attention wherever it is.
