Can’t complain about that! Very clean!
I liked the T Birds. Too bad they were discontinued.

Very clean indeed! Looks well maintained.
I've always been curious about those engines and the DEW 98 chassis. There are some very good buys in the Lincoln LS v-8s cars around my area; every once in a while a clean example pops up for around $5k or so, but I've been afraid to pull the trigger because of the relative scarcity of the engine and chassis parts, for any long term ownership. I've also read the Jag inspired engine can be finicky at times; I have no basis to agree or disagree.

It doesn't get much better than that!
Nice little engine, good NA power for the displacement of the era. A modified Jaguar AJ V8.
My Father is trying to "restore" and flip a red 2005 for a profit. It has over 200k miles. He is a riot. At least the Jag V8 sounds good firing up.
If you zoom in you can see oil sitting in the heads
He bought a soft top in Shreveport, I believe. He took the car to Maaco to have the hard top painted body color and the fools removed the soft top because they were confused on how a car could have 2 tops. It took my Father several days to install the soft top a few months back. Facepalm...
Wow, talk about stupidity at its finest
Only bring a beater to Maaco.

Uh Oh is apt.
A lot of parts on these are obsolete now which is unfortunate.
