I DD'ed my 73 lincoln for a couple weeks before winter hit. Even with the size of the car, it was pretty enjoyable. the 8mpg average kinda sucked, but coming from the 12mpg truck it didn't bother me all that much.

I'd love to swap my 7.3 powerstroke into it for the endless torque and 20 MPG, but it's really too nice of a car to ruin. I've considered getting a Holley terminator EFI system for it to get something that resembles livable fuel economy so i could do some longer road trips with it, but it's hard to justify putting $3000 into a $2250 car that runs amazingly as is. On the other hand, it wouldn't take much of an improvement in economy to pay for it.


I would live to drive a Mercedes 560 SEC AMG with a modern drivetrain, but i can't see it happening any time soon. There was one for sale here probably 5 years ago for $8900, and i kick myself every day for not buying it.
