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! |

Lincoln revival bypasses rear-wheel drive for now
Wed, Nov 25 2015Ford execs had the axe ready for Lincoln just a few years ago, but the luxury marque is on a hot streak these days. Annual sales are up 7.5 percent through October, and the recently unveiled, refreshed 2017 MKZ previews the company's improved styling. In a great piece about the brand's growth strategy, Automotive News finds the division's bosses want to focus on the core vehicles before taking a big step and building a rear-wheel drive niche model. "Luxury coupes and sports cars are not the first place we need to go," Global Lincoln Director Matt VanDyke said in the story. The division's bosses want to use the updated MKZ as an opportunity to distance Lincoln's identity from Ford, and the powertrain will carry the 3.0T badge rather than Ford's EcoBoost name as part of that approach. The model also injects excitement into the range thanks to an all-wheel drive version with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and an optional Driver's Package with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Lincoln will launch at least three new models by 2020, too. One of those will be the production Continental that will reportedly debut at the Detroit Auto Show. The company will also allegedly revive the Aviator to fit below the Navigator. The third vehicle remains a mystery but likely isn't a compact. Automotive News' story further examines the previously languishing brand's work to climb up the luxury ranks in the US. It's well worth a read. Related Video:
Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014
Sun, Dec 28 2014Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
Lincoln may add suicide doors to future Continental
Mon, Mar 26 2018There's been plenty of uncertainty surrounding the future of the Lincoln Continental, a nameplate revived only 18 months ago but struggling to move units as sedans submit subduction-style to the techtonic boom in crossovers. We recently shared a report that the Continental won't live to see another generation after selling just 18,846 units in its year-and-a-half back on the market. Now comes a report from Automotive News saying that Lincoln at the 2018 NADA convention in Las Vegas showed a photo of the Continental with rear-hinged doors and said it plans to manufacture it. The publication cited several dealers who were in the room but didn't want to be identified. Lincoln, of course, isn't saying anything about rear-hinged suicide doors except to say that "Continental is an important part of the Lincoln family." The announcement at NADA was reportedly meant to convey a commitment to cars by Lincoln, which has been buoyed by crossovers like the MKC and its red-hot Navigator large SUV. There was no word on timing or other details about the suicide door-equipped Continental. Lincoln sold just 1,573 units of the sedan through February, down about 25 percent on the annualized monthly rate. Still, if Lincoln wants to plant its flag in the car segment, then its flagship is probably a good place to start. The Continental nameplate, which was revived in New York in 2015 as a concept, enjoys a long design lineage, of course, and boasted production suicide doors on the 1961 Continental Mk V. The luxury sedan also inspired one artist to reimagine the Continental as a two-door coupe, true to its original 1939 styling and demonstrating the car's versatility. And the car already has some concept-style futuristic touches, including hidden electric door handles and 30-way adjustable front seats. But suicide doors have mostly been relegated these days to concept vehicles, one-offs like this Rolls-Royca Sweptail and the Tesla Semi truck. So should we see this as a way for Lincoln to draw some attention to a struggling nameplate? Related Video:
