This vehicle was worked on and tuned by a Pro Ford Mechanic back in 1997 and it got 26 MPG driving from Kentucky to Iowa at 70 MPH. This Lincoln Floats down the road. It was then parked by a family cabin and left there in storage when the owner dealt with elderly family members elsewhere. It ended up remaining there afterwards.

The battery box and front framework is still in fine shape and not rusted away.
