Well I just sold my 87 Tbird a few weeks ago. While searching market place late a few nights ago( first mistake, lol) I stumbled across a 4 eye bird. (This one is kinda special....I will leave it at that for now)My first bird was a 4 eye and it was always the one I regretted selling. Anyway it’s a 3 owner, low mileage 85 with V8. I’m in talks with the guy now ( he’s elderly and doesn’t drive the car anymore) . I will update in a few weeks if all goes well with the deal.

Congrats on the purchase!

An '85 that's "special".
Hmm.....is it a 30th Anniversary edition?

Glad you got that sorted. Good to see the bird back out in the sunlight, looking amazing as always.  8)

Looking forward to hear your impressions of the new rear suspension.

I was wondering when someone was going to ask about those.  ;)

Those are 13" Brembos from an 04-09 Volvo S60/V70R. That configuration is being adapted for my '97 850 Turbo. (I also have a set of the fronts for my Volvo 240 project).

Doing some layout for an adapter.

Darn.
Cool for the Volvo project, but I was hoping you had figured out a way to get them on the '83.   8)

Thanks.
Will probably just have to bolt my seat back in, put some power to it and do some measuring to see how much clearance there and see what is possible. I have a friend who is an amazing fabricator and I've always considered doing proper "through the floor" sub frame connectors and with the interior currently gutted, now is the time.

You bet.  My thinking is it just keeps the subframe connector from deflecting thus stiffening the car a little more by tying it to the rear of the front subframe.

Did you give any thought to putting in upper subframes like the ones Griggs Racing has?  I have them in both my Fox body cars and that is all the black paint you see on the bottom of the floor pan along the front subframe and around the bulk heads of the rear subframes from the welding burning the paint off.  I have the drawings for those as well.

With the uppers installed, is it still possible to retain fully functioning power seats?

Nice work.
Have you considered putting a 45° fitting on the rear diff connection?

I've always loved the Mark VII's, especially the LSC Special Edition ones. If I had the garage space, one would be parked next to my T-bird  :smile:  I recently drooled over this one....https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-lincoln-mark-vii-3/

The Special Editions were made in low volume and I believe will be collector cars someday.....it just may take another 20 years for that to happen.

Same here.

For fun, two of my close friends and I each put together a list of cars we would have in our dream garage if we were it hit the Power Ball and a 1992 Lincoln Mark VII LSC Special Edition in Garnet Red is one of the cars on my list.

Congrats on the purchase of the LSC.
Hope the repair of the Dodge works out for you.
