Hi guys
I posted last week about someone around the corner from me selling a 78 Continental and I have since decided not to go for it as it isn't registered and needs work.
Since then I have found a 1982 Town Car for around the same price, very clean with 86,000 original miles! Registered til the end of the year too!
It is up for $10k which is quite high by US standards but they are pretty rare down here and I'm hoping to get the price down a little if possible.
It has the 302 (5.0) Windsor V8 which I believe are a rather solid engine and was also used for decades in the Falcons down here so parts should be around for the engine at least.
What would I need to look out for when I go view it?
What is the oil capacity and what oil should I use if I buy it? I'm guessing a decent 10w30 would suit?
Looks good from the pics, apparently drives great, absolutely zero rust, no leaks and has had no issues during the 7 years of current ownership
