Those 84 Lincolns didn't hold up much better. I remember my uncle having an 82 model Lincoln Town Car back in the early 90's. Constant computer and sensor problems, transmission problems, random stalling, fuel injection problems, ignition problems leading to no starts, trunk wouldn't stay open, hood wouldn't stay open, the 130HP 302 was real smooth and real sluggish. All these problems on a low mileage one owner Lincoln that looked mint. By the time it reached 120,000 miles, the 302 developed a nasty bottom end knock. He traded it for an 88 Taurus Wagon. That Taurus was leagues better in quality and reliability than that 82 Lincoln.
