Features, Condition and History


This is a one of a kind vehicle with extremely low mileage and in fantastic condition for its age.  The previous owner made many improvements and customizations to this vehicle.  Check out all the pictures to see these custom features:
  • GPS built into the dashboard
  • Aftermarket digital stereo system
  • Custom interior lighting
  • XM radio receiver
  • Custom cupholder console
  • Keyless entry
Suffice it to say this is a very unique ride.  You will not find another classic Town Car with this set of features and in such good condition.  This car turns heads!  It's also a really smooth ride.  They don't make them like this any more.  The car still has great power and runs and drives very well.  The tires have a ton of tread left (see pictures).  

This car has been used as a daily driver for the past 4 years by the current owner.  The car has been maintained meticulously with regular service and repairs made as needed.  Some of the items that have been replaced during that time:
  • Alternator
  • Master cylinder
  • Brake booster
  • Front brake hoses
  • Front brake calipers
  • Battery
  • Fuel pump
Like any car this age it is not perfect and is being sold as is.  There are only a few minor issues, however. 
  • Leak in muffler pipe - may be possible to weld a patch in place
  • Some small areas of rust (see pictures) (paint is 99% good, though)
  • Some wear and cosmetic age spots in rubber bumpers and the vinyl roof cover
  • A few cracks in the vinyl
  • There is an intermittent "shudder" when accelerating.  The local Ford dealership couldn't identify the problem
  • Some damage and sagging to the insulation/cover under the dashboard (above where your feet would go)
  • The emergency brake release assembly recently broke.  The handle is still with the car and might be usable in a repair.  The emergency brake still works, it's just that releasing it is tricky without the handle attached. 
Test Drives and Questions

Please use the Ask Seller a Question feature and include contact information to arrange for an in-person inspection or test drive, or to ask any questions. 

Shipping and Payment

Payment can be made by either PayPal or cash (in person).  

This car is being sold "where is".  Buyer to arrange local pickup or arrange for shipping upon cleared payment.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

2015 Lincoln Navigator

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Typically, when I approach a new vehicle launch, it's with a degree of optimism. Nowadays, we just expect that every new vehicle will pose a legitimate challenge to segment leaders. Mid-cycle refreshes, meanwhile, have taken on a greater degree of importance, as customers' preferences for the freshest vehicles remains strong and automakers rush to keep the latest tech in their offerings.
Conversely, I admit to not being terribly optimistic hopping into the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I was the first person from Autoblog to see the new model in the metal, way back in January ahead of its Chicago Auto Show debut, and my initial reaction was far from positive. But, as I'd been the one that initially tested the new Cadillac Escalade and had just finished a week in the long-wheelbase version of General Motors' most premium SUV, I was a natural candidate to head down to Louisville, KY - home of Navigator production - to sample the brand's latest.
Lincoln's attempt at freshening the old Navigator's bling-bling face is pretty typical of today's more thorough mid-cycle refreshes, with dramatically new front and rear clips. The addition of standard 20-inch wheels or optional 22s - in place of standard 18s and optional 20s - goes a long way towards modernizing the Navigator's staid exterior. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to finer leather, which covers most of the dash as well as the steering wheel and seats. Warm Ziricote wood would prove to be a particular highlight on the top-flight Reserve model that I drove (the only trim available for us to test).

Is Lincoln working on a Continental concept?

Wed, Mar 25 2015

The Lincoln Continental wasn't included in our post on the list of trademarks we'd like to see turned into production vehicles – the only Lincoln mention was our idea of transferring its Aviator name to a special edition Ford Mustang. But, like you, the idea of a resurrected Continental is always with us, especially when we read articles about the brand's efforts to redefine American luxury. Ford applied for the Continental trademark in 1953 and renewed in 2005, and it appears they might have something to show for it soon. A web snooper found a development site at the Lincoln domain that introduces us to the "elegantly styled and boldly distinctive Lincoln Continental Concept." There are no images, but we've combined all the text into a single image, above, and the hints we get in three blurb texts inform us that "It represents who we are as a carmaker," that it's an "envisioning of what's to come," that "No question went unanswered" and "No answer went unchallenged," and that it "is everything we know about cars, and everything we understand about people." We also found the tagline "Follow us forward," which doesn't appear on any published Lincoln site page at the moment, and the public is invited to get involved (eventually) by tweeting Continental stories and photos. Could this be the next step in the turgid drama Lincoln Rising? We look forward to finding out. Related Video:
