1980 Town Landau

Seen this on kijiji for a year now, finally decided i had better go get it. Picked it up today and added 215km to the 105,111km on the clock bringing it home. Full load minus moon roof and leather which I dont think was available. A/C needs to be recharged otherwise everything works like new. Still sporting michelin trx's that look to be from 1988 with a pair of studded winters on factory rims in the trunk.XXX

As far as I know the car was in Kelowna with the original owner till about 2 years ago when a guy in Armstrong bought it for his collection. He has moved on to collecting Corvettes now so the bird had to go.

That's quite the time capsule!  Never seen TRX studded snow tires

Well there is a little surface rust on the coil springs and drixeshaft :hick:

It came with new plugs in the trunk and had a new cap, rotor, and oil change done 1km before I picked it up so i finished it up with a new set of plug wires, air, and fuel filters today. Runs smooooth.

Went for a ride to celebrate and hit the highway for 50km, cruise set at 110kph. Like floating on a cloud. I kinda feel bad putting mileage on it but at the same time it feels so right!

Torn right now between going with 14" steelies with deluxe hub caps or 15" mustang turbines. Either way i will need to buy a new set of tires. The turbines are on my 82 right now and look good with the white but right now I'm leaning towards the 14's and caps... have till saturday to decide.

Oh and the carrige lights, auto headlamps, corner lamps, thunderbird dash script, door locks and keyless entry pad all light up and work properly. :shakeass:

Man, that's clean.

I bet those studded TRX's worth more than the car.  Those are probably the only ones left in existence. :p
