I'd wait for a "gen 1" pro to chime in, but based on what I've seen, I wouldn't guarantee it. The overall shape is very similar to the factory deck, so "maybe." It's all about how thick the face is. What I can say is that the mounting kit is likely unnecessary, unless you're just jamming it...

The earlier years had more adventurous color palettes. Blue Leather anyone? I'd say it's worth a look. With the Marks, only the 1996 comes to mind as one you want to be ready for. it has some 1-year-only parts as they transitioned to OBDII

I think Beerdog needs to come back and proofread his post. :D Mike's Super Coupe Performance link is the sure thing.. They've been a reliable source for years. I agree that international shipping could get tricky. Plenty of us have done Arnott parts. I bet you could search this forum and...

I'm certain no offense was taken. I got chuckle out of your "23 years old, doesn't work and everyone is probably dead" comment. You ended up here exactly because much of that is true. :D It's a good group here. many date back to the old days.

I've done a couple double-din installations on 1997 Marks now, and both were possible, but required some creativity for fit. Basically, there was some plastic structure that needed to be cut out behind the dash to accommodate the "body" of the stereo, but the opening for the faceplace was...

Welcome! I'm so pleased to see this car in good hands. I came very close to bidding on it myself when I saw it come up for auction, but lacked the spousal stamp of approval. Enjoy the car, and do stick around! we're thrilled to have you here.

A great introduction for a great car. Welcome! You've done some of the big jobs already. Many of us came to these cars after having a Panther first. Many more still have both. You no doubt will be very pleased with this now that you've gotten everything "refreshed."

I really need to keep better records.... best I can do is "changed Oil in June" :D

ha!! You didn't need that side anyway.

Beerdog put together a real nice thread on a diff rebuild a few years back. Here's the link. It may answer a few of your questions: https://www.lincolnsofdistinction.org/xenforo/index.php?threads/rear-end-rebuild.31326/

Just a tip: One of our guys was making a replacement crossover cap for a while. Hopefully he still is, because they're worth every penny. https://www.lincolnsofdistinction.org/xenforo/index.php?threads/stainless-steel-coolant-crossover-plugs-back-again.43500/ I do see one on the Bay that...

The factory keyless entry on these is good enough that I've never seen anyone try to find an alternative. Of course I'm one of the oddballs that don't even use that, and utilize the keypad for everything. I have the remote, it works, but I've never bothered. :)

I still have a dead alternator, and a rebuild kit, sitting side-by-side on a shelf in the garage. Been that way for at least two seasons now... :D I need to get on that - I don't have a "known-good" spare on-hand right now, and that bothers me.

Yup. That one. I guess I expect the Continental door handles to be integrated into the window trim. Still, looks sharp.

Kirk has is CDL. Maybe we can harass him to just make a run next year and pick up all of our cars along the way. Re: a Lincoln sedan, I was marveling at what must be a final-year MKZ? the first photo of your most recent post It looks really sharp!
