Basically a Chrysler Le Baron with a fancy interior and a fancy, and
expensive, head on the engine.

The vehicle is no different then a Lebaron, nothing special about the
engine, its just different cosmetically interior and exterior. If you worked
on a Lebaron you can work on this vehicle

Hey lite bulb, and I thought you weren't reading my post's. I work on these
vehicles all the time, they are just like Lebarons, yes there are parts and
different ways of diagnosing them but as I said Mr. Lite bulb, if you can
work on a Lebaron you can work on one of these.
The biggest difference is the interior/exterior design.
Now please climb back into your hole.

Same ol' Glenn Beasley, full of contradictory, ignorant bull****,

Thank you for using an apostrophe to indicate helpfully that I was
approaching the letter "s" at the end of your sentence. As it happens,
you and all your sock puppets are in my killfile, but another
individual who sees through you sent me an e-mail pointing at your
particularly braindead remarks about the TC and suggested I go have a
laugh at your expense.

Running the washrack doesn't count as "working on" a car.

> if you can work on a Lebaron you can work on one of these.

....if you can find and afford the parts.

funny thing though when it came out labor time was actual time or a,t

Crown Vics, at least of the vintages I have owned, and Town Cars have
proven reliable battlewagons and very maintainable aside from a few
quirks (like the difficulty of changing a thermostat on the 5 liter EFI
V8) that with a little toolmaking and patience are get-aroundable.

This isn't to say other years may not be nightmares. All mine had
various pushrod V8s and C-something or AOD boxes if that tells you. No
experience with the OHC modular.

Our shop doesn't give up. so far we haven't ran into that problem. My guess
is since you don't want to work on them and wish to blow them out of your
shop, you tell the owner that the part is not available anymore.. another
tactic used by the independents.

Please Mr. Bulb. I like it better when you were in your hole

Hey you left out my favourite, the TRABANT! 2-stroke smokers unite!

Seriously, what I mostly liked about the several K-cars I owned was the way
you could go to pull-it-yourself recycle yards and get virtually any part
you needed for $5. One time I even found a brand-new complete exhaust
system, and the car had even been tilted on its side before I got there,
just inviting me to help myself.

Yep. And there's a good reason for that!
