1986 LINCOLN TOWN CAR SIGNATURE SERIES 35,000 ORIGINAL MILES! MINT SHOWROOM
CONDITION! SHOULD BE A MUSEUM COLLECTIBLE!
Up for auction is
my 1986 Lincoln Town Car signature series.
The vehicle color is gorgeous oxford white with admiral blue velour
interior (yes, those were really what the colors were called), matching blue
carriage roof and dual color blue and grey pin striping. The vehicle has just 35,678 original
DOCUMENTED miles! The vehicle was
purchased new (for CASH) on September 16, 1985 by a gentleman (for his wife)
from Eastchester Lincoln Mercury in Eastchester New York. The total cost of the vehicle was $25,692.10
which is the equivalent of $56,000 in 2013 dollars! A brand new Town Car in 2011 (the last year
of production) was about $45,000 so you can see in perspective how expensive
this car was at the time! I have the
ORIGINAL purchase invoice, deposit receipt and window sticker which was
carefully laminated to preserve it. In addition, on
November 15th, 1985 the gentleman had the vehicle fully UNDERCOATED as well as
a special CLEAR COAT Ultra Seal paint sealant added to the paint to prevent
rust, scraping and corrosion. The
rustproofing is guaranteed for the life of the car with unlimited mileage and
on the back of the certificate is a map showing all the areas treated. At the
same time, he also had the seats treated with “Ultra Fabric Seal” which is
guaranteed for the life of the fabric. I
have the invoice receipts for ALL THREE in the wife’s name! All of the original
paperwork related to the car is intact and comes with it. This truly makes the car a collectible as
very few cars come with ALL of the original paperwork. Included are the original gold owners card,
order sheet and dealer invoice, original odometer mileage statement,
maintenance schedule and record log book, Lincoln owner benefits report book,
warranty information booklet, operating guide booklet, original Michelin tire warranty
booklet (there are new tires on it now) and of course, the full leather bound
owner’s manual. As this was the first
year for the multi-port fuel injection system, even the yellow and black card
that was on the rear view mirror upon delivery cautioning the owner to just
start the car and not “pump” the accelerator pedal while starting is
included! All of this comes in both the
original white cardboard folder from the dealer as well as the original
envelope mailed to the owner from the dealer postmarked November 25, 1985. I am the third
owner of this vehicle (since October 2012).
The second owner purchased the vehicle from the original owner’s estate
to use as a daily car for his commute but decided it was too nice to risk daily
driving so after keeping it for about a year and a half he sold it to me after
putting on about 6,000 miles. I have put
less than 100 miles on the car since I owned it. This magnificent vehicle
comes with EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION for the year with the exception of the
digital dash and trip computer (only available with the digital dash). The list of options includes the following: Dual power six way
seats with manual seat back recliner Power trunk release
with power pull down Dual illuminated
vanity mirrors with bright and dim options Power heated
mirrors Illuminated outside
temperature thermometer on drivers rearview mirror Analog trip
odometer Tilt steering wheel Delay wipers Real factory spoke
wheels (in mint condition with no rust or pit) Dual accent pin striping
(blue and grey) Cruise control Autolamp automatic
headlamps with delay shut off Autodimming high
beams Fully automatic
climate control Premium sound AM/FM
radio with cassette tape player Keyless entry
system with illuminated entry Carriage roof Power glass
moonroof Tinted windows
(including the moonroof) Conventional full
size spare tire 5.0 liter engine ALL service records
from all the owners (with the exception of oil changes) come with this
magnificent vehicle! The vehicle was
always maintained perfectly and needs NOTHING! The body is in amazing showroom
condition! There is one and ONLY ONE
blemish on the outside of the vehicle and that is on the thin strip chrome trim
piece above the right rear wheel. There is a very small dimple that looks as if
it could have been caused by a car door or shopping cart. I was going to replace the entire trim piece,
but I wanted a new one (not used) and I did not have the time to search for one
in depth. However, it’s barely
noticeable unless you look hard for it.
The interior of the car is showroom new as well. You
will find NO WEAR whatsoever on ANYTHING inside the vehicle! Even the driver’s floor mat shows no wear at
all! The same goes for the gas and brake
pedals as well as all seats! There are
no rips or tears anywhere on the dash or armrests! Those who know this
car may notice that the “cross hatch” grille has been replaced with the “waterfall”
grille from the 1988/1989 model. This
was done by the original owner however the original cross hatch grille comes
with the car and is in MINT condition if the new owner wants to switch it
back! Also, the tires should be
whitewall but the current tires are only 2 years old and have only 8,000 miles
on them so I saw no need to replace them as I don’t take the car to shows. So the only things needed to make the car
100% period correct is to switch out the grille (it’s held on by clips) and
replace the tires for whitewall. The car also comes
with a few spare parts (light bulbs and such), a brand new roll of the rubber
body side molding strip (why I don’t know it came with the car) and a BEAUTIFUL
INDOOR CAR COVER! The ONLY reason I
am selling this car is because I was forced to take a disability retirement from
my job of many years and I can no longer afford the garage I was renting to
store my cars. It is too beautiful to
leave in my driveway. I am a car guy so
this literally breaks my heart as I have to sell off 3 of my cars. I cannot understate
the beauty of this car and the pictures I took do not do it justice. I have a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D’Elegance
in showroom condition but this Lincoln gets more looks, stares and attention
when I drive it than the Cadillac! This
car could truly be in a car museum (and really should)! I tried to put as much information as
possible about the car. When I sold my
1996 Lincoln Town Car this summer (also in mint condition) I put the same
information on the auction. When the
gentleman came to pick it up, he was actually shocked at how beautiful the car
was and how it was in mint condition. I
guess it just goes to show how many people lie about cars these days which is a
shame because an honest car guy who truly loves these cars like me suffers! Please message me for any
and all questions! In person
inspections and test drives are always welcome!
I live about 45 minutes from Newark International Airport so if you want
to fly in and drive the car home, I will be glad to pick you up at the airport
or if you want to take the train from the airport to the station 5 minutes from
my house, we can do that as well!
European buyers are ALWAYS welcome.
As I live 40 minutes from Port Newark, I can deliver the car there for
you to be shipped overseas! Now for the business
end; I won’t insist on a deposit within 24 hours like some nor will I demand
the balance in 2 or 3 days forcing you to spend $20 on overnight mail. I would like full payment within 7 days of
auction end though. The payment must be
cash in person, certified check, bank check or money order. For international buyers ONLY I will take a
wire transfer in U.S. Dollars. As soon as your payment clears, I will send the title to you certified mail. I can
hold the car for a little while if necessary as I know how it is to deal with
shippers and their time schedules but I would like the car picked up no later
than November 30th because I want to give up my garage rental by
that time. In September a 1987
Town Car with more mileage than mine sold for $8,300! It was EXACTLY the same as mine except it had
white leather seats (with blue interior) and the digital dash. It was sold by a dealer so no records or
“pedigree” came with the car plus it had 2 dings on the hood and one on the
door! If you don’t believe me, check out
auction no. 181201617901. Plus there was
that wonderful “deposit”, “full payment within 3 days” and all those added fees
dealers charge. Why buy a car from a
dealer like this when you can buy from an individual collector where the car
has a complete history and for less money? Thank you for taking time and interest! |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers
Thu, Apr 2 2015What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.
