They might have done you a favor Dave.
I owned one years ago, and even with two doors, it`s pretty homely looking.

I once had a 1978 Ford Fairmont 4-dr sedan with the 85HP 200" six. Why on earth is it factored by NHRA to 140HP?

The same year 302 is still at the original factory 139hp factor. Did someone bomb the index at some point?

There are certainly lavish, opulent and comfortable appointments visible. I distinctly remember the new interior smell. The burl wood dash trim is quite elegant with just a smatter of sophistication designed to please all but the the most discriminate among us.

How about waiting for the premier opportunity to campaign the flagship Versailles? A sprightly 135 when equipped with the 351 combination.

Has anyone ever tried the Lincoln Versailles combo ?

I had a '78 model and thought it looked cool
