(By Bryan McTaggart) – OK, Lohnes, you win! I bow before your ability to find the most disfigured, horrific rolling creations!
I tried, I tried like hell to compete…but that Marquis/Corvette rolling WTF moment you posted pushed me over the edge. Seriously…when it comes to trolling the depths, you’re like a young soldier that just got back from deployment at the bar…and brother, you went ugly early. Woof. As a peace offering, both to you and the poor BangShifters who had to endure this back-and-forth, I offer this ‘80s Lincoln Town Car that I got tipped off to by The Brougham Society on Facebook.
First appearances show a clean white Town Car. Then you notice the odd Cobra Jet hoodscoop. And the number on the fender, next to the Shelby badge. Um…is this a teenager’s sick joke? Nope. This Lincoln has a 557ci Kaase SCJ BBF under the hood, with Oldsmobile-style ram tubes that use the outboard headlight openings. Ditch the numbers and the Shelby badges (the scoop is needed for clearance) and the only other tell this car would have is that the digital dash has been culled for a plethora of gauges. It’s clean, it’s near stock appearing and if it’s quiet, oh, brother, the fun that you could have picking on the local population. Hopefully that should keep y’all away from the eye bleach for the time being.
What, no link to the listing for more pics?
Oh, wait…it might not be for sale!
It would go faster by losing those factory cast exhaust manifolds than anything that ram air piece would add :p
Shoot, starterguy, maybe it’s got a relatively quiet (probably restrictive) exhaust system to keep it stealthy.
A 557 CID Kaase engine? Definitely overkill and likely requiring a buncha maintenance in street usage. ‘Wonder if it fell off a delivery truck and he put it in there.
There’s gotta be a Maverick or Comet just beggin’ for that mill!
Here is his build thread! It has shortie headers now and 295/50/15’s on cragar soft 8’s. (would have been kinda cool if he had gone blackwall and full wheel covers…)

Must have been quite a handfull on the stock 215/70/15’s!!!
Forums that require you to join to see the pictures are worthless.
I like it! I need to do something like this with my Roadmaster
Yeah, dude! Maybe with one of those Scott Shafiroff 1005 CID engines.
You and the Town Car guy could schedule a [travelling] match racing program!
Don’t either of you count out back-halfing your cars to allow big-arse tires!
With the weight of your cars and the lack of aero, you’d probably be in the low elevens. Simply have the ‘strips turn off the scoreboards and hype your more-door, unlimited displacement competition. 2 outa 3. Ya might even earn tow money!
Ouch! You hurt my feelings. You take shit way to serious.
I Like it ! BUT !
How Much Money !
Then think a Bentley !
All the lux & the speed
I know I’m getting old BUT !
A fast luxo boat ?
I never did like Lincolns . to me no style ” BOX , then BIGGER BOX ” box.
Awesome ride, reminds me of that giant Hurse Cadillac with Turbo LS power that runs 10’s
This is old. Now we have electric cars which can save you from many things. Electric cars will not consume enough power and this will be cheap.
I am sure this piece of writing has touched all the internet viewers, its really really fastidious post on building up
new weblog.
