We pulled a 77' Lincoln Town Car (all 4800+ lbs of it) out of the ruts it had sunken into, PLUS it had flat rear tires, without even hardly trying. Low range and throttle, and out it came

Heh, knew you guys would like it, we "inherreted" the Linc from a neighbor about 4 or 5 years ago.
It started running rough on him, so he parked it. He wanted to fix it up, but had zero knowledge about cars, so it sat, and sat, and sat, and finaly his wife told him to get rid of it, so he casualy mentioned to us "if you can get it running it's yours"
Dad and I drove over there, put a fresh battery in it, and it started, but would not idle and blew tons of black sooty smoke out the exhaust
"Carbs just gummed up" we thought
Pulled the carb off, took that home, rebuilt it on the kitchen table, took it back, screwed it back on, and drove the car home
Because we had about 1000 other projects at the time, it just sat some more, but now since we're on a roll with the Deuce, Aeropar and the weather is nice, we decided to fix it up too.
Would you belive that on 5+ year old gas, the car started right up to idle, with no sputtering or smoke? The 460 in it is still as sound as a dollar.
Get this, it was the stereotypical "little old ladies" car that was only driven to church on Sundays. The engine still has all it's emissions and factoy build stickers on it, and they're all legible too. The rear seat belts are still wrapped up in thier factory plastic bags

Aside from some spotty rust and a ripped up cloth top, this car is almost show-ready as is
