Question Looking for information

On Jan. 1st, I bought a 1982 Lincoln Town Car, with 118,000 auctual miles on it. BUT, it needs a few things done to it. I've ordered a JC Whitney book, and was wondering if anyone knows of a web site, or a catalog, that I could get to buy some of the things that I need to get. (Like a dome light).

I thought I got a good buy on the car, as I/we are the 3rd owner, the car has not been wrecked, and with the low miles on it, to boot.

Thanx, for any information.

Check your junk yards. You'd be surprised what you can find. Those cars were the same from the early 80s to the early 90s. They also shared many interior parts with the mercury grand marquis and the ford LTD/crown vic.
