Something different coming your way from G Force Design Concepts

[Datsbad]

We wont start work on this car for sometime , but the customer dropped it off to us.

We are going to do our best at making this a modern style Lincoln with new technologly built into the suspension, braking and Drivetrain . While I know its not a PT car I feel that most of you will appreciate the work that will go into it.

We first started off by weighing the car with 2 passengers.
Anyone car to guess what the car weighs?
Free G FORCE T-SHIRT coming your way to the first that gets it right.

Nice car. My dad had one when I was about 5. Was a very cool car, even back then.

My guess on the weight with 2 adults in it.... 5,840 pounds

[jy211]

guessing 4500lbs? :rofl:

[Romulus]

I've always thought that was one slick ride.

Optioned out with a couple of decent sized guys that thing has to weigh in at 6000 lbs.

[Romulus]

guessing 4500lbs? :rofl:


just the doors maybe. :willy:

[Vegas69]

Fat guys or in shape?:rofl: 5128 lbs with the fat guys and 4927 in shape.

[ProdigyCustoms]

I like it already! Those things are cool. I hope the top works OK, I lost my ass working on one, 36 relays for the top if I remember right!

Keep us updated.

[Datsbad]

I should mention some are close.
The weight of the 2 passengers were 198lbs, and 236 .
Lets make it that whoever is within 5 lbs wins.

[Roger M]

Now that you've posted individual weights, I'll edit my guess... 5,840

[monza]

cool car!

6660lbs things a beast!

[Vegas69]

5128 it is.

[Musclerodz]

5650 with 2 people. I remember this one from SEMA 07, very cool

http://www.musclerodz.com/gallery/albums/userpics/normal_IMG_0031_%28Medium%29.JPG

[Romulus]

there's no way that thing can be under 3 tons. The interior alone weighs more than the my project :lol:

[street3285]

6332 lbs. is my guess.

[michael6372]

i'll say 5,775lbs

[buickfunnycar.com]

killer project,5823#'s...

[rwhite692]

I'll guess 5815 pounds. Neat Project!

[Datsbad]

Most of you are going in the right direction :thumbsup:

[Roger M]

5,875

[Rob07002]

Found a rendering for you.

[BBC71Nova]

Should be neat.

I'll go with 5675 lbs.

[ironworks]

I'm just going to say 6000.

5680 for the car and 160 for each inshape passenger

[Josh69]

I'll go 5935 :thumbsup:

I love those things, so definitely keep us posted!

[Steve1968LS2]

6015.5

[DOOM]

5780.00

[DriverzInc]

6150

I love those cars. And that one already looks good! I would love to have one someday, but I'm going to have to build its own extended garage just to fit the damn thing. :lol:

[tones2SS]

Should be a cool build.:thumbsup:
I'll guess, 5875??

[65 347]

6250 can't wait to see what you build.

[zcrz]

i'm guessing 5300#:lol:

[Ummgawa]

[98ssnova]

6230 LBS. Looks like this would be a fun one.

[GHOSTDANCER]

5942 :_paranoid

[VP23271]

5975 :thumbsup:

[mtlinvtns]

Im going with 5734

[Flash68]

Love the Lincolns.

I'll say 6325.

[Datsbad]

I am very surprised the reaction this car is getting from you guys.
We do have a very close guess....but not yet , someone is within 40lbs.

The lincoln will be the most complex build I think we have done since there are so many peices to the car .

Our current plans are a SHELBY GT500 engine with a whipple, its gonna need the 750hp we plan to through at it due to its weight.

[Van B]

5822 lbs.

[rjsjea]

5978...

if you guys have any issues sourcing parts etc don't hesitate to send me a PM or give me a call. There weren't many made, and tracking down parts can be a bitch.

[rogue]

I love thos Lincolns--One was bult by Troy I beleive for Manny Ramirez, saw it for sale at AC Auction a few years ago and then on E-bay. Sure it sold for pennies on the dollar to build. Was a carb'd 460 I beleive. Love the modern driveline idea.

Brad

[f1shman]

My guess would be 5340 lbs.

[Datsbad]

Once again everyone is headed in the right direction.
We have someone with in 40 lbs.

How about those wheels? They are 22's on it now and tires have like no sidewall.
How much do those Daytons go for these days ?
Anyone know a dealer for them ?

[Romulus]

You will likely be able to sell them for $900-1100 on craigslist.

A brand new set without tires goes for $1000 or so.....

Hate to say it, but the shaved the doorhandles is just lame. Thats what makes the cars special....

[rogue]

That's a nice looking car Rogue!!!:thumbsup:

thanks appreciate it. Had it for over 10 years and its the one car I will never part with.

I will admit it makes me sad to see people trying to turn these cars into something they are not though. They are cruisers, and no matter how much modern technology or horsepower you drop into them, they will always handle like yachts.

Thats 99% of the appeal. Amazing highway cars....
