Just found 77 glass top town car

Post by kennedy3112 »

New to the forum here. Just purchased a 1977 town car, 460ci with the fixed glass moonroof with 40,000 original miles. The car is in excellent shape as it has been stored indoors its entire life. Drawback is it hasn't been driven since 1994 so there is alot of mechanical issues to be addressed, fuel system, brakes, hoses etc but the body, chrome and interior are in great shape. I've know the owners of this car since 1979, it belonged to a friend's mom who was the only person to ever drive it, the only one to pull it in and out of the garage. Funny thing is, they had to knock out some sheetrock and 2 studs in the wall to allow the car to fit and close the door.

I know nothing about these cars and hope someone could shed some light on this beast. I know the glass tops are rare, so not too sure what I have in the stable. Not totally sure just how rare the car is or what it's really worth. Guess we'll dump some $$$$ in it, get it running and see what happens

That's an early 77 (built in Dec 1976 or earlier) based on the 120MPH speedo.
