A 420HP Lincoln Town Car is the Ultimate Tuner Troll
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Not all first cars are created equal - but taking your grandpa's Lincoln Towne car and making the best of the situation is something Zach Borden has truly figured out. With his 420HP Lincoln Town Car he has built the ultimate sleeper...infect almost too well. Overlooked until recently - the Panther platform is incredibly versatile and has tons of potential as a fun car. So what is it like driving a 420HP Lincoln Town car? Let's talk about it!

Jesus shows up in a white bathrobe and ray-bans wayfarers, holding a can of monster ultra. “hey dudes. You all know that I can walk on water. However, did you know that I can also drive on ethanol?” Hops in a town car and proceeds to hit a 0.25 second quarter mile. The glass on every car in a 1 mile radius immediately shatters as the pressure wave from the speed of sound being broken reaches them. The ground surrounding the starting line is now lava. Anybody standing near the exhaust when the car started accelerating is now in a completely different state of America. The rest of the audience’s ear drums are orbiting around the earth after reaching escape velocity. “And I didn’t even make it past 1st gear.”

I'd like to see it bro. I have a 93 Crown Vic and I'm looking to do more to the Motor, Transmission & Suspension
"2L is a soft drink, not an engine size". Hear, hear! I only want a bigger engine with more power just to get away from people on the roads who are a danger to themselves and others, whether they're lost/confused or their mind's clouded with excessive road rage. We all know when Covid shutdowns let up, many common folk became irate behind the wheel, more so than ever before. This Town Car looks awesome. Never would've thought the paint with black accents would've been a killer look. Better than the all-too-common black on white aesthetic.
It slammed to the ground looks gorgeous. I didn't realize how good the town car would look like that

This has got to be one of the coolest sleeper builds I’ve seen. Other than it being slammed, I’m sure it rides great just like all of the other panther platform cars. Fully expected when you said it was swapped at the beginning for you to say it was a 4v or a coyote, would’ve never guessed an LS, but it’s clear it’s been done right and Zach has put the time to make it function like OEM, which is so awesome to see. Great Video! Ps: can’t believe that 2v redline was 4500rpm. That’s nuts

The ride quality is entirely dependant on the suspension, by slamming it you completely negate the cloudy stock suspension with a stiff sport suspension

@@P71ScrewHead I mean, it's a powerplant that has always and will always make much better power than a 2v. The only real thing that the 2v has over the LS is just sheer unkillability...to an extent. It's been shown that 2V engines tend to split in half at around the 700-750 HP mark, which for most people is something they'll never reach. However, i've seen stock LS blocks take a shitkicking at around 900 HP without issues. Plus, the LS has better drivability modded.
While I would've preferred a coyote swap into this to keep it Ford, I still REALLY love this sleeper of a Town Car, really gives me ideas on things I can do to my P71!

Nice!! I always liked these, they have a lot of potential. And grandma and grandpa always take care of their cars and rarely drive them. They are diamonds in the rough

People fall in love with a car, whatever car that may be, and sometimes decide to do whatever improvements they can. Also, sometimes financially they may not be able to go out and buy a new car , so they end up piece by piece upgrading their car.
I have a 96 towncar and i wanted to swap the 4.6 for a 429 but i was too late to grab it. Seeing this keeps hope alive
I need to get my sh!t together, my 88 Town Car is just sitting here waiting for something like this
This is awesome! Had a friend in NJ back in mid 2000s get into it with a Towncar of this generation and could not figure out why he was losing. Turns out the guy manual swapped it and put a Terminator Cobra engine in it! Love these unique builds, especially cars that are always overlooked. Awesome build there, sir!
If you can dream it you can build it everything has potential
I ain't even watched the video yet, and I can tell you these old Lincolns and Cadillacs are awesome! The comfort is just unbelievable. Ok, now let's see what they did to it.
Absolutely love watching homie smile from the passenger seat just driving around. That's a real one - it don't take much : awesome build, awesome dude
Best Town Car I've seen so far. I especially like manuals, so this is really the cherry on top of the cake. For my kind of taste it only needs a better interior, maybe black leather...
This is the segment of car culture that does it for me. Take a clean tough older car, and make it a sleeper. He's done everything right, and this kind of reminds me of what I want to do with a car like my wife's Ford Flex EcoBoost (which, bone-stock are slept-on imho). I think we need to see more of this sort of content, as it's more unique than another Subaru or Lancer build (which are rather common now by comparison). I think the only other thing I would upgrade (if it's not done already), is to drop a sound system in it with say, a pair of Kicker Solo-Barics in the trunk, and have some old school beats playing while you casually roll around town in a slammed slab. It's got that old 60's and 70's super sled vibe, with a more modern powertrain, brakes and suspension mods. Shout out to Zach for such a cool build. I gotta go drive my neighbor's Bullitt P71 now...
I knew Zach when I lived in VA. He's a good dude and that car is wild. Glad it's still around.
Zach is an amazing human being. Love this guy, thanks for showing his hard work!
Some of us dream of doing stuff like that, but he actually did it! That is beyond awesome!!
9 years and you still make quality content, love your channel man 💕
I love to see unorthodox builds. I drive a 2.5 mazda 3 and its not fast by any means but with coilovers good tires and some other small mods it always puts a smile on my face😊
This is one of my favorites of all time from the channel. And in life period lol. I just love it. When i was 15 i wanted to get my Grandma's '89 Town Car as my first car. The squared-off box-y body style.. I imagined a 5 speed swap, Flowmasters, and dumped on a set of Cobra R's lol, but i never got it. It was a Signature Series too, so it was REEEEAL nice.
Man mad props on this build. I grew up with the Lincoln Towncar as that’s all my dad drove. He probably went through 5 back in the day. He would trade them in and get a newer one every 2-3 years or so. Having that power and comfort is so badass. Not to mention that trunk space! I got to show him this vid, he’s gonna flip! 👍
This is to cool! My folks always had lincoln's growing up! I remember the blue on blue carriage top 95 model they had me and my buddy as young teens snuvk it out one day and did a smokey burn out right in the middle of a sleepy up scale Dallas suburbs! We one wheel peeled that back tire off!!! My folks were none the wiser but when it came time to have the tires rotated and the dealership my father and the techs were so stumped to find that one rear back tire that was about balled at that point 🥱💁♂️🤣 Awww..... to be young .....miss those days and my pops. Thanks for giving me a great memory 💯🎯

back in the mid nineties I had a 1992 Town Car lowered on crown vic springs with Tokico struts up front and lowered air suspension with Tokico shocks in the rear. I had a k&n cone filter sitting in the modified factory airbox. Magnaflow exhaust and I had cross drilled front rotors . I love what you guys have done to your town cars .

This actually looks really damn good. I've always been partial to the pre-face lift 98-02 and wish to Barra swap one
This car is nuts, very nice car. I’m one of those guys that like the unusual cars with mods. Once had a 99 ford expedition dropped, all motor. We don’t have these builds here in Hawaii.
This is awesome! When I had my '93 Towncar I always wished it had a 5spd manual in it. In fact, if it had been equipped with a 5spd I would probably still have it. I sold it at 290k miles when the slush box crapped out. That car was a stealthmobile. I got so many other cars pulled over racing them. Cops straight up ignored the baby blue boat and would pull over the sporty cars even though I instigated the race and would be the one going faster when shot by the radar (though I'd lose if the cop had not intervened). Even took that car out to the desert through the washes with its higher ground clearance and cushy air ride rear suspension. I miss that car.
It's sick! My brother had one. That thing did the longest moving burnout I've ever done. 😂
I always loved the panther cars. This is one of my favorite builds. I’m inspired
