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! |

McConaughey's bizarre new Continental ad is perfect parody material
Tue, Dec 20 2016So let's say you're running a car company and have a luxurious new flagship sedan and need to advertise it. What do you do? Did you answer with "film a commercial with a barely coherent Hollywood actor standing in a pond?" If so, perhaps you work for Lincoln, which brought back Matthew McConaughey to do another bizarre car ad. It starts with McConaughey and a Continental standing on a body of water. He starts talking about staring (or not staring) at the Conti, and then about sitting in the back seat (or not). The ad then cuts to McConaughey in the back who replies to the McConaughey in the front seat. Presumably, there are two McConaugheys at this point, and the front seat one just laughs in a slightly unsettling manner. He then makes a clicking noise, closes the center console and drives away. You can't make this stuff up. It's thoroughly strange, but we can't say we're entirely surprised. When Lincoln first launched some bizarre ads with McConaughey muttering sweet nothings about the MKC, the company got loads of attention. Admittedly a lot of that attention was to make fun of it, but you know the old saying that there's no such thing as bad press. Lincoln even brought him back for an encore in ads for the MKX and MKZ. In truth, we're also glad to see another bizarre Lincoln ad, mostly because we're hoping for another round of great parodies like the classic Jim Carrey spoof that aired on Saturday Night Live. Check out the ad above to see the strangeness. Related Video:
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Lincoln reveals the posh and powerful 2018 Navigator
Wed, Apr 12 2017If you were a fan of the Navigator concept from last year's New York show, we've got good news. The production Navigator looks just like it. Sure there are subtle changes. The gullwing doors are gone, but no one should be surprised by that. A side effect is that it has conventional chrome door handles, too. The lower grille in the front bumper is a tad different, and the rear taillights are a bit thicker, but the overall look has stayed the same. That includes the tall, regal grille with a mesh consisting of Lincoln badge outlines, the side vents on the fenders, and those beautiful, intricate turbine wheels. On the top-of-the-line Black Label models, the Navigator gets an illuminated badge that lights up with the puddle lights when the driver approaches. View 15 Photos Since the Navigator is based on the Ford Expedition, it's unsurprising that they're very similar mechanically. The Navigator has aluminum construction, and it's propelled by a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 found in so many Ford products. However, the Navigator's engine makes an impressive 450 horsepower compared with the expected 375 horsepower from the Expedition. Those plush ponies goes through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Navigator stays true to the concept, and most important, shares essentially nothing with the plebeian Expedition. Like in the concept, the dashboard is low and wide and features plenty of wood and leather. The instrument panel is a configurable 12-inch display, and to its right is an upright, floating touch screen for infotainment. The buttons for shifting hang off the trailing edge of the dashboard, where a gap opens between it and the center console. The console houses the climate control buttons, and rises to meet the dash. Aside from the luxurious dash, occupants are treated to the Continental's 30-way adjustable front seats, which are heated and cooled. The interior should be whisper quiet as well, thanks to laminated front and side glass. This should allow passengers to better enjoy the available 20-speaker Revel II sound system even more. Plenty of gizmos and tech are at the fingertips of Navigator drivers, too. One of the more unique tidbits of technology are the adaptive headlights. At low speeds, the headlight beam is very wide to illuminate objects or pedestrians on the sides of the road. However, at high speeds, the beam narrows to reduce glare from street signs.
