Isn't the 440 worth half the asking price alone?

Not a fan of huge fins but I'm kinda glad that car escaped the derby.

I was just thinking, "Why the hell didn't he just cross-anchor the suspension." Looks secure and like it could get complicated either way. To each their own.

I REALLY want this... Would make a nice tow-vehicle for me,. But I am sticking to my decision to get at least ONE of my project running, before I buy another.

But if gets under a grand, I may have to reconsider...

Hauling a beast that big with it's worn out uber cloud floaty suspension can be a nightmare unless the whole car is tied down. When I hauled my '66 Town and Country home, I started out with just the suspension tied down.

The first bump in the road, the whole car started swaying about . I ended up with it tied down just like that '61.

Well as they say, better to ask forgiveness than permission. She cool with it?

yeah i get lots of rope to hang myself with before she starts getting pissed off. i actually ran a pre-purchase idea by her the other day and got green lit, so now i'm on the lookout for a 93-96 fleetwood brougham.
