The 1970s Lincoln dashboards weren't that cheap feeling. They're no better than the crap used today, but no worse either. It's mostly because Ford at the time wanted to chase Cadillac in sales, and had to spare some expense, even on their finest models.
The 1970s Lincolns were excellent full-size cars that are without equal. It's just sad that CAFE and emissions standards practically sucked the life out of them by 1979.

If you want more performance, try a Lincoln MK VII or MK VIII.
