Alright folks, I had this listed a few weeks ago, but the bids did not meet my reserve.  The top bid was $2650, and it was very, very close to the reserve.  So I'm relisting with no reserve and a starting bid of $2500.

In my original listing I said "This car is rough, but has been in covered storage since 1995.  It was driven into its present home but has not been started since.  At the time,  the convertible top relay system, radio, vacuum door locks, electric windows all worked.  All chrome is in good shape.


I was going to restore it, but got absorbed in other projects.  Now I've lost my ambition.  This car is restorable or for use as a parts car.  Extra front bumper and extra convertible top relay system, and the Original Maintenance Manual are included. It has rust, but it's all there.  Definitely will need some new sheet metal if you decide to restore it."

On Saturday, my old friend Mac and I forewent a day of fishing and went down to the shop and started it up.  We pulled the plugs, shot some WD-40 in the cylinders, reinstalled the plugs, and it fired right up.  We manipulated the top up and down and then I drove it outside.  See new photos.  Transmission and rear end worked fine.  Some windows worked, some didn't.  Steering works.  Brakes are iffy.  Alternator, gages, lights, blinkers, all worked.  Did not run air condioning becuase of no belts, but AC pulley turns freely on clutch.  Starter strong.  Carburetor needs rebuilding.  Not sure about the fuel pump because we bypassed it in favor of fresh gas out of a can.  Radio comes on but doesn't tune.  Wipers don't work.  Electric radio antenna does work.  I did not check fuses on anything electrical.

Car also comes with four boxes of miscellaneous parts, window actuation assembly, many relays, AC compressor.  I don't know the condition of any of these but some appear new in plastic bags.  Also the original jack and accessories are in trunk.

A prior bidder asked about the condition of the trunk bottom.  There is some surface rust and some small rust holes in the spare tire well.  See photo.

Based on the 1991 license plates, I would say that the car has not been driven since then.  All four tires hold air long enough to get it on a trailer, three of them for at least a week, one overnight..

And yes, I've got the hubcaps, plus one extra.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014



Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

Lincoln owners in San Diego, your chauffeur awaits

Fri, May 12 2017

In an effort to make up lost market share, Lincoln is trying desperately to differentiate itself from other luxury automakers. The automaker is offering and expanding a number of services aimed at setting itself apart not only from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Audi, but also the Fords that so often share showroom space. One such offering, the Lincoln Chauffeur, is expanding beyond its initial rollout in Miami, Florida, across the country to San Diego, California. The concept is simple. For $30/hour, a chauffeur will drive you around in your own vehicle, stopping at the store, the gas station, or even at school to pick up the kids. The chauffeur can do these things with or without you present, meaning the driver can drop you off at the airport and return the car home, allowing others to use the car rather than leaving it parked at the airport. The service is available to old and new Lincoln owners, though the former get eight free hours to try the service. San Diego was part of a planned expansion. If things continue to go well, look for further rollouts in cities across the country. Related Video: News Source: Lincoln via Automotive News Lincoln Ownership
