Wonder if people know, when they list a car for sale without an asking price, the majority of people looking to buy won't ever contact the seller. Usually no price listed means they want too much and are afraid to ask a price.
Having owned a 1980 Gran Fury, I can speak from experience: it was the worst car I ever had. Replaced the engine, surging torque converter, leaky gas tank, rotten brake booster, etc. It was donated to a charity at thirteen years old. Yes, it was my first car; would I own another? No.unicorns
Yeah, understandable, I wouldn't buy a Town Car again (or any Ford really) because of constant headaches with manufacturing problems. But, if there was an 80 Gran Fury on the road today, there's a decent chance it's been sorted outHaving owned a 1980 Gran Fury, I can speak from experience: it was the worst car I ever had.

I think I got the short end of the stick then. Both Town Cars I had were nightmares even though they were different generations. Escape? Junk. Two different Taurus wagons, both different generations, junk. There's a Ranger in the fleet that I'm keeping an eye on because it's a Ford and I don't trust it. It's not the major mechanical things that go wrong. It's always the electrical. Some dumb module, some dumb sensor, and then the engineering got dumber. Like changing the alternator on a 4WD Escape. Just... dumbWe've always had Fords and I started buying the RWD ones after Chrysler abandoned it. Never had problems with any of them.
Looks good. I've been experimenting with chrome paint to redo the plastic in and on my diplomat. I found a paint that is perfect, reflects and shines like the original, except it doesn't last. I need to find a clear coat that will stick to it and make it last.So much rain in the forecast, but I was able to swap out all 3 sections of the tail light assembly before she's hauled off to the tech's garage for completion. I personally like the look of the ones that were on the car and the ones I replaced them with. The replacements are 5 years older than my car, but in so much better condition. What do you all think?
