Need some toonage cruising around in the big Lincoln :D

Disco, jazz, and classical preferred, but will accept all types ;)

Lordy, lordy, I haven't even SEEN an 8-track since Moses was a teenager.

:p:

Last 8-track I saw was of Merle Haggard,that had to be 1970,71.
I can prolly get you some Kam at Cash Converters,no guarantee they work

Alan

I found "The Grateful Dead, Live '72" at Goodwill today. It plays great in my Scandia IC RS83 Stereo 8 Recorder. Sorry you can't have it.

Ed

Just saw your post. I am in Atlanta and looking around the thrift shops. Hit a few today... Will hit some more and keep my eye out ...OUCH... that HURT...:) and see if I can find some for ya'....

Well, I thought it was worth a shot......

I'll listen to just about anything except country ;)

It seems that i always see 8 tracks down the the Goodwill store. Next time i am there, I'll see what they have.

I'm sure there should be a good selection on Conway Twitty, Porter Wagner, and Bob Wills & the Texas Palyboys! :D OH! You said you DIDN'T like country. Well shame on you! I'll take a peek and see what they have anyway. ;)

It seems I might even have an Elton John 8 track around here somewhere.

My 8 track of Billy Joel "The Stranger" is getting worn out lately ;)

Seems that "Scene from an Italian Restaurant" is an appropriate thing to cruise to in that car :D

So would "Hot Rod Lincoln" It does have a 460, doesn't it? -Sandy G.

What year is the Lincoln? Post a pic please. My grandfather had an early 70's model that was gold and huge.

Ed

She's a '79.....only a 400 2 bbl, so it moves, but is no rocket.

What a car to drive though.....

Wanna classic???-----Neil Young...'Harvest'


My only Neil 8-track, and you can have it (as long as you stay away from the rest of my Neil collection) :-)

PM me your address if interested and I'll send it off.

My father passed away in May so I inherited his 50 or so country and bluegrass 8 Tracks. They are all in great condition and sound pretty good.

What do the Goodwills in you guys area charge for 8 tracks? My favorite store here in Tampa has $3.00 on them so I don't buy unless it's something in really good shape and something I'll really like listening to.

Ed

Ever thought about upgrading the stereo in that big behemoth?;)

Nice car!

I once had 1978 Mercury Cougar. I loved that car. Red with white leather interior and an electric sun roof. Chrome moon rims and AC. Even had an 8 track player. First thing I did was to remove that factory player and install a proper radio with cassette and put in some Jensen triaxials for the rear and Jensen coaxials in for the front. This was in 1984 mind you.

Anyway, that's cool you want to leave it original and if I had some 8 track tapes I'd send them to ya.

Come to think, I haven't owned an 8 track in 25 years.

DB

Some more on the way!

If that has the same or similar dash layout as my '76 Linc mark 4, climate controls to the left of the steering wheel, stereo low on the right, it is a BITCH to change.

I spent over 4 hours before giving it up as a bad job. It came out (or didn't come out) through the back, vs pulling out the front on most vehicles.

Add to that the 5 million little vacuum hoses running everywhere for the automatic climate control (Thank God the heat worked!) and oh well, hello eight tracks!!

It might be different, I know the Continentals were built on a different platform.

Pete

Looked around some of the SA's and GW's in my Daughters area and did not see one 8 track:( Will look in my local TS. I think I saw some there a bit back....

As long as everybody is beating the bushes for 8 tracks, I'm looking for Pink Floyd - Animals on the forgotten format. It has an extended version of the last track that never made it to the CD reissue.

If ya want my copy of Boston's first album, whack me with a PM.

PM me ya' address... I got ya' 5 of 'em.... If they work there are a few more left....

It seems that if you drive a Hot Rod Lincoln then you should have at least one 98-Track of Commander Cody singing said track.

Just a thought ?:cool:

Kam, do they ever give you the Evil Eye when you pull into work at the Acura place in the Lincoln? What a Land Yacht! I thought my '69 is big-it's almost mid-sized compared to yours-its only 226" long. I think yours is 232" or something. Actually, the '69 Mercury Marquis was about an inch longer than my Lincoln- & Lincoln lost a few sales over it. I DO think the "Suicide-door" series 1961-69 are some of the prettiest big cars Detroit put out since before the war. My favorite was the 1966-67 convertible sedan. A gorgeous car.- Sandy G.

Yeah baby, Elvis rules! Found these jewels at Goodwill today.

I had a '71 Marquis 2 door, this is bigger ;)

Funny as I'm driving it today. Parking this damn thing and maneuvering it around the lot is an adventure to say the least. This place was a Buick dealership until 1992, but it's been a loooong time since anyone's seen anything of this size around here.

Incidentally, she's now got a new set of Tiger Paws and fixed the A/C up yesterday. It'll freeze you out of the car :bigok:

Wow!!!! I'd like to thank the generosity of Merrylander, Vintage TX, Piece-it-Pete, and Grumpy who have thus far sent me a total of 78 eight tracks!!!!! That's 624 tracks!! ;) :D

All I can say is thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!

And, if you happen to see any, still keep me in mind ;)
