1993 Lincoln Town Car w/ 289k Miles Start Up, Dual Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[@outcastraven7556]

My 1993 lincoln towncar was given to me by my grandma with 230,000 miles and its in great shape and runs strong.. poor old towncars never get the appreciation they used to😞

[@rockerdriver]

Enough with the negative comments! This a pretty darn good testimony for a Town Car! No wonder they love em in the big cities because they're tough and last! Kyle, if you can find one from the 70s that would really be awesome!

[@alexcerullo5535]

My 94 has 796 000 miles and still going strong

[@wntw7935]

Alex Cerullo You probally serviced it every day

[@alexcerullo5535]

WilliamXtreme oh ya I serviced it and I but eghsauts in it I still have the thing and it's ready to die it has 860000 miles and I have to send it to a junkyard because the thing barely starts and when it starts it runs for about 5 min

[@DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

How did you drive 64k miles in 5 months??

[@alexcerullo5535]

retired taxi and I got the thing when it was at 795000

[@alexcerullo5535]

still have it and had to get a new engine but still Ante at the junkyard

[@skylancer-zer0205]

When you said it was in rough condition I thought "Hmm, doesn't look that bad from the front." ...Then I saw the back O___O

[@tfjr4286]

that poor town car didn't deserve this.

[@Hearsesrock427]

+1 neglect kills these far quicker than age/normal wear. The vinyl tops always go bad on these unless they're kept out of the rain and out of the sun. Pretty easy to remove the vinyl top and convert to good old painted steel roof if need be, just a bunch of screws on the doors and roof that holds the trim and top on. Once those are out, you just peel the top off and weld the holes shut. Or tape them shut if you're lazy like me and don't want to pay for body work yet, haha.

[@daone543]

Tf Jr I agree

[@daone543]

Andrew Samy definitely

[@antiqueelectronics2462]

Ikr so sad

[@claytonccrider]

Man does this bring back memories of my moms old 97' Town Car. Ran to 267K miles! One beast of a car.

[@turkeyguy0]

this is actually what sold me on my town car, it was everything i wanted in a car and i didn't have to get the same car as everybody else. did a few small modifications to it like 1 coat of tint on the tailights and headlights now i have something thats unique but looks classy at the same time.

[@brendadecora1719]

i just bought a 93' lincoln town car, omgosh it rides awesome, smooth n i love it.

[@raymccalla]

Congrats! Nice ride.

[@truemordecai2996]

Brenda DeCora Shit i just bought a 93 town car this week. It's a tank.

[@thomasjefferson77]

Does it waste a lot of gas??

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

Needs somebody to show her some love and bring her back to her full glory and she'll be like new.

[@squeakD]

I used to have a 93 Lincoln Town Car. Mine was the Jack Nick Signature Series. An amazing vehicle! I loved that car. I took very good care of it.., and the previous owner to this TC should be ashamed of him/herself. No excuse for a Lincoln to show that much neglect.

[@83Stang5oh]

i love your videos but these kind are the ones i miss the most

[@notasolution]

agreed

[@israelpoindexter9653]

That car had 289,000 miles on it. This video was uploaded 12 years ago!! What I want people in the comments to do is to take a guess on how many miles it has now wherever it is.

[@Trikster1of4]

I've always wanted one of these cars

[@trwsandford]

This is my favorite body style for the panther platform.

[@hanfire2552]

I've owned a near 200K Town Car and honestly, this one sounds pretty good. I'd buy it as a functional beater for around $500. That engine still has life left in it.

[@Hearsesrock427]

I'm amazed at the condition of those leather seats. I see cars with half that mileage in wrecking yards with ROACHED seats. Only ones that hold up long term are the cloth/velour seats but it wasn't a common option on the '90-'94 generation. Door panel is really nice too the Lincolns were all one piece so they often split and crack along the armrest. Sounds like it needs a new belt on the front.... those should be replaced every 80,000 or so if I remember the severe duty cycle maintenance scheduling chart. Turned over pretty quick despite being low on gas and with decently high mileage. Probably also needs power steering fluid flushed, brake fluid flushed, etc. Damn shame how someone let the neglect just pile up on this old tank.... happens all the time. My two projects ('89 Grand Marquis and '85 Grand Marquis) are the same way. At some point you gotta put your foot down and say "NO MORE! The buck stops here, I'm not going to let this neglect continue. I'm going to get ahead and stay ahead of the maintenance." I hope whoever your dealership sold the car to has taken care of her. She needs some body work too but nowhere near as most of the ones I come across. Those wheels are interesting. Can't tell if they're the 15 inch Lincoln lacy spoke or the coveted 16 inch HPPs! If they're the latter you are set for brake upgrades down the road, see below. Last of the real Town Cars right here in my eyes. The decontenting began in '95 with the door panels. All the stuff that makes the newer Town Cars drive better (big brakes, suspension improvements, etc.) can be done to the '90-'94 cars. '92-'94 are easiest to work with because they have the disc brake rear end like all the '92 panthers have. With 16 inch wheels, '98-'02 big brake kit front and rear will bolt up. Also sway bars, polyurethane bushings, etc. will bolt up. Heavy duty coil springs, KYB Gas-A-Just monotube shocks bolt on from '79-'02, and so on. I could go on and on but you get the point. I'm on the fence whether to get one of these or a '94-'96 bubble B platform station wagon.... already have two projects already but I can't get enough of late model old iron like this. :)

[@templarking6819]

Wow amazing information man! I just bought a 93 towncar with 109k miles! It works well just lights stay on (might be due to an electrical issue) what advice do you recommend to maintain and maintenance it?

[@JayOrlando32828]

I love Lincoln Town Cars ... I have a Town Car Executive Series 1999 with 238k and I bought it with 30k .... in NY

[@myespion]

There's nothing like driving this land yacht around town. This car has the 4.6L V8, just like my 95 grand marquis. After driving one of these, you'll never drive anything else.

[@damagingspark7]

Man these old ford panthers just don't die! I picked up a '96 crown vic lx with 150k miles for $800 and problems have been few and far in between and it's a joy to work on.

[@miajackson931]

Ford and lincoln American and they better than Chrysler and GM

[@matthewyim1736]

+Mia Jackson GM is better than Lincoln and Ford

[@randomrazr]

previous owner had issues with the vynal top LOL definately a nice car, body on frame and V8, a tough car. just needs some fixing and she'll prob last another 100k great video as always saabkyle!

[@4wheeler14]

I give lots of credit to this car. It had a long life

[@krunchyclown]

My 1990 Town Car with a 302 had 413k when I sold it and it was still running strong. I miss my 89 Mark VII more though

[@NPC-Gamer]

@Armando Sturzenegger 302's were no joke.

[@JGonYT]

10:24 "Seats are comfortable... a malfunctioned glove box [lets it drop down]" love it!!!! great stuff!!!

[@jamesfrench7299]

Engine sounds fantastic, squeaky belts notwithstanding.

[@IKhanNot]

My friend's 01 Lincoln Town car was a former cab. Has 830,000kms on the clock or over 500,000 miles!!! Floats like a balloon but keeps on going.

[@patspiritxo]

My uncle had this car a few years ago. his had burgundy interior & white exterior paint. it was in good condition.

[@eaglevision993]

TownCars run forever, thats for sure!

[@67Eftw]

4.6L is an amazing motor

[@kellyluvstoride1]

I have a car just like this. I love it. Its huge, and I don't really care for that. But after driving it a while. I love it so much. I'm spoiled driving this car. Just drove my daughters car. It looks nice, but my car drives awesome. Hers does not ride smooth like mine. Love it Love it, Love it!

[@form109]

damn....that towncar is in rough shape....all it needs is some TLC and that thing will be clean and like new! the previous owner should be very ashamed of themselves to let their car get into such a condition.

[@jakedaniels7546]

shame to see what was once such a nice car in such sad shape :( great video as always kyle, keep up the good work :)

[@AzestPro]

the engine sounds crazy !

[@RSHotchicky666]

Wow, that's a lot of miles!

[@booradley948]

It took me all the way to 4:18 in this video to realize you're in my home town. Crazy.

[@booradley948]

And that you're at the auction where I bought my first car lol

[@thatonefenderedition]

Def a true American Luxury sedan!

[@Fred924]

those lincolns are indestructible!

[@G0Far]

I smiled when I heard the motor start as if it was new :).

[@Cobra-cm6uz]

For a car in that condition it starts pretty good

[@starxlr7863]

+Cobra123 This car is well worth putting some money and new parts into it. These were the last real Lincoln's!!! Ford needs to start making Real Lincoln's again just like this Town Car. This was a very good era for Ford, GM and Chrysler.

[@kiwifrog8878]

Honestly this car is better than a 2019 toyota Camry

[@fordfurious1998]

you can always count on a Ford to start in the morning does not matter what the conditions are a Ford will ALWAYS get you where you need to go!

[@marajadeskywalker5992]

On a tow truck these days

[@turkeyguy0]

most expensive repair to mine so far was 10 bucks for a brake switch, but i knew right away what it was.

[@monkuashu]

yay!!! first one!!! i love your reviews kyle!!keep up the good work!!

[@MrCarguy7]

Wow what a find. Growing up we had a '92 crown vic. very similar except for the dash. What a car.

[@MuscleCarToonTownPwn]

Town Cars are such beautiful cars! Probably getting one soon.

[@12345679ryan]

Just bought a 97 Lincoln Town Car Presidential series, new black top White, w Black leather 110k One OWNER!! its so comfy... i hope it makes 267k! i baby it... seafoaming it today!

[@steve9509]

For some reason, I like when you make videos of these beat up cars also...good video.

[@liamallen98]

I'm actually thinking of importing a 1994 Signature model of the Town Car into Australia when i get my full license.

[@theyeastinfection9871]

"PIECE OF CRAP" ? Car is still running at nearly 300,000 miles!

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

I don't know why people call these crap. they are reliable as fuck. even more than the overrated German cars .

[@mentallyhandicappedpoptart2649]

Andrew Samy You should try a 300 series Mercedes diesel from the 80s very reliable

[@richardallen9276]

Evan Demaree. I have a 98 16999. Thousand. Miles great car

[@Lincolnator721]

CloroxBleach hell yeah that's like one of the most reliable engines in the world, also the 4.6 v8 by Ford is one of the most reliable engines in the world

[@Bull3tBikes]

theres a reason the 4.6 was put into the f150

[@alialii2942]

Amazing car

[@monarch1957]

I'm going to Seattle to get one of those tomorrow with under 80'000 miles on it a one owner car.

[@JackKnife2730]

94's make great lowriders

[@dave11686]

Great video as always Kyle! BTW, you in theory can run a car on one gallon...my sister and I a couple years ago went to Nebraska, and she was on her fuel light, we figured out that she had one gallon left when we stopped to fuel up. Gotta love those old Town Cars.

[@eaglevision993]

Mileage is no excuse for this car to look so terrible. I have a 99 TC with 225k miles (mostly driven by myself) and it looks almost new. Stupid non-caring owners are the cause for this. But despite the neglect,it lasted almost 300k miles, does not seem to be rusty and not leaking oil as far as I can see.

[@Ddog2k3]

O man, 289K miles? That's a lot of miles there yo. Hey I got a 93 Cadillac Deville, and it got 218K miles on it, but it needs a motor put in. Nice Lincoln though man.

[@24MartinONDS]

Those seem to be great engines. I just picked up a 91 Town car with 180k Miles on it. If I see how this one here runs with that kind of miles, it encourages me of mine lasting a lot longer. I'll take good care of it.

[@jonapello245]

How's it going 5 years on?

[@diego750il]

Kyle, may I ask you a question? How do you find these cars? Who are the owners of these? This Lincoln doesnt look so bad, actually.

[@valenzuelatomas1989]

I like your reviews! keep up with it!!

[@PetarVN]

Check the carfax! Also take a look at the vinyl on the roof. if it looks warn it's not been garaged. if it isn't perfectly placed the car may have been hit and not fixed properly

[@Tropicsca]

i had 1994 and i straight piped it, no mufflers, no cat converter. It sounded like a monster truck.

[@taevonwarren5537]

Ko-wing wong I got a 92 straight piped with headers

[@Pendragon1989]

Kyle when you let your drivers window down, mine does the same thing, cept it won't go down, Maybe the motor is going out. But these old Lincolns are Phenominal. With a good tune up, I would drive this car anywhere

[@KCWhoa]

You seem younger which is pretty cool considering these days most kids only buy honda's because they're a bunch of followers. I love lincoln town cars, I just hate how most people treat them. Mexican's are the worst offenders even though im part mexican. Regardless if you like big cars and you ever get bored of what you got, check out 97-03 buick park avenue 3800. I got mine with some body damage and a bad coil pack for $1000 and its beautiful and gets 30mpg with a 550mi range!

[@hy77281]

This car as definitely seen some better days.

[@70dustpan]

Love Towncars, i have a '95 with 152,000 on it now, got it with 132,000 on it, it burns some oil but it hasnt died yet :)

[@zero1strike]

Shame on the last owner of this vehicle, i wouldn't like 2 imagine how his/her house looks like... all in all though this car does have the potential to be fixed up & looking perfectly original again despite the miles on her, all she needs is a caring owner & with a little tlc she'll be sweet. Still plenty of life left in the old girl yet :)

[@Friendly0Dan]

Do the Cadillac DeVille infront of it as-well! I love those cars.

[@vibingwithvinyl]

Just replace the trunk lid, the vinyl roof, give it a full service and you're good to go for another 289k miles.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

You get a glove box! and you get a glove box.

[@MrEthan043]

YES :D

[@hamilton5071]

The reason nice cars like this go downhill like tha tone is since cars are so cheap these days people treat them as if they ar disposable. I cant tell you how many times ive heard something like "well my car has 150,000 miles on it so i dont really care about it" it drives me crazy. Learn to maintain things people.

[@Guitarmanlord]

I know your comments quite old but there is a switch in the trunk for the air suspension, only time it ever has to be off is if your going to jack the car up. that's what the manual says anyways.

[@jose5080007]

I have a 2000 crown vic with close to 200k still runs like new. Ford rules.

Let's agree to disagree I am a General Motors lover but I will give Ford some appreciation as well they did make nice Panther body cars

[@Tennesseestorm76]

Wow. I have a '91 Town Car with 33k original miles. I have never been a fan of the padded tops on the 90+ models. I also had a '95 with 240k miles.

the engine on the 1989-1997 Lincoln Town Car Engine 1990: 4.9 L (302 cu in) 5.0L Windsor V8 1991-1997: 4.6 L (281 cu in) Modular SOHC V8

[@turkeyguy0]

i'll admit i could be wrong if so thats trash i'll go look right now... huh your right, though i've always thought the motors were the same model to model, i have the Cartier so mines got 239, it says the signature has 220 and the executive has 190, but ford is really big on saying the hp is less than what it is, realistically my town car feels more like a race car than what it is.

[@galvindavis6586]

I LOVE IT,,THANKS IS THIS A PRESIDENTIAL STYLE

[@gracz24PL]

why is this car have wired roof? is this is this cabriolete?

[@Hearsesrock427]

No, just a vinyl top that saw the elements over the years. They're all like that. Unless you keep them out of the sun and out of the rain the material just gets destroyed. Pretty easy to remove the vinyl top if need be, just a bunch of screws on the doors and roof. Once those are out, you just peel the top off and weld the holes shut. Or tape them shut if you're lazy like me, haha.

[@jrt2792]

+Hearsesrock427 my grandfather gave me his 1990 new yorker it has a vinyl roof that's in perfect condition.

[@turkeyguy0]

i'll support this i own a 96 Cartier even with with all the extra heavy weight junk it can still get people to use the oh shit handle without endangering anyone

the 1990-1997 Lincoln Town Car was assembled in Wixom, Michigan, USA

[@97336cf]

Hey, can you help me with that? I'm looking into a used 1993 in excellent condition with 25k for only $3,350. Should i go for it as a first car?

[@Schaefft]

Beautiful car, I love those fullsize RWD V8 Sedans. Its a shame to see the car in such a shape tho. On the other side I cant spot any rust so it might be a nice project car. Its also good to see those stupid rims and shit is out of it. :P

[@97336cf]

how many miles, whats the price, and other info please?

[@turkeyguy0]

mine has the jbl sound system in it, the easiest way is to look in your trunk and see if there is an odd shaped box back kinda mounted up on the back seat, theres also an amp on each side of it too. little bit late on this but maybe it will be good reference for someone with the same question. also... if that 8 inch sub ever blows good luck finding another one. this happened and i didn't want the box floating around in the trunk soooo liquid nails FTW.. haha

[@OLDS98]

Wow... the car has been through, but that exterior was really bad. I expected worse on the interior. It was not in such bad shape as the exterior. That car was modified and they took the stuff back off the car. I do thank you for sharing this one despite the condition. They do not make trunks are cars like this anymore. Two of them are going away this year.

[@Motorfordtoyota]

@saabkyle04 probably a timing chain or valve tick.
