sounds like a versailles rear. rebuild parts can get pricey.
$100 sounds extremely fair though, if the guts are good.
double check, though, to verify that it isn't the odd ball 9-3/8" rear.
it definitely isnt what you want. then again, did they put discs on 9-3/8's???

There are 2 different "Lincoln" 9" rearends. One has the 5 on 4.5 bolt paterns and was in the Versailles (Granada based Lincoln). The other was a 5 on 5" bolt pattern and was in the full sized Lincolns and some Merc wagons. Check the bolt pattern.
The 9-3/8 isn't a big deal. Same basic carrier, we put 9" gears in them all the time on spools. They are kind of odd and you do have to pay attention when changing gears (I think it's a bearing deal that is different and you have to change the carrier but the housing is the same if I remember right) but they are usable.
Here's a link to some 9" info.

Good luck,

PS - For $100, I'd already have it bought. Just don't be suprised when you price a new rotor.

my $0.02, it's been all over the news that explorer's were the most junked vehicle under the cash for clunkers. I anticipate the sudden salvage supply to significantly offset the demand w/ lower prices. off roaders, rodders, grandma's, grandma's dog's have all been on the prowl for explorer 8.8 disc rears from model years 97-01. It's what I plan to do if I don't find the perfect Jaguar deal first.

But there seems to be some confusion in this.As to the Lincoln 9". Two things: If I had a spare $100 I'd get it just to have, or for trading material down the road. And if the car is going to the crusher anyway, it's worth saving something that is rare (and still desired) these days.
