I had an 86 Town car on 2 (felt like maybe 1?? 🤣 ) wheels. Those things like to keep going straight when you turn the wheels at high rates of speed. ---

i think i got more than my $'s worth…i was under this car last night, for the first time…it’s got heavy duty cargo springs in the back, a posi rear end, the 4 speed auto, which i’m told is pretty rare in these cars, and front and rear sway bars. the guy i bought the car off of told me it was his dad’s, who was a mechanic, so it’s been well maintained, too. i think it will make a good beater…it is one ugly mofo, though… ---
