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! |

Ed Welburn leaves a lasting legacy at GM design
Sat, Apr 9 2016General Motors design chief Ed Welburn retired July 1, and the soft-spoken stylist is leaving a lasting legacy at the automaker and on the industry. He became the first African American to lead design at a carmaker when he took over GM's top spot in 2003. Just six people have overseen the company's design, and Welburn followed in the footsteps of icons like Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell. When Welburn was given expanded global oversight in 2005, it wasn't ceremonial. He helped unite the company's sprawling design empire, and today is in charge of 2,500 people who have a hand in designing GM cars. "He nurtured a creative, inclusive, and customer-focused culture among our designers that has strengthened our global brands," Mary Barra, GM chairman and CEO, said in a statement." Welburn took the helm when GM and the industry were shaking off a general styling malaise that pervaded the 1980s and 1990s. During his 13 years in charge, he took risks, produced a wide range of styles for everything from hybrids to sports cars to big trucks, and leaves GM design in a better place. Welburn's replacement, Michael Simcoe from GM's international design unit, has big shoes to fill. News & Analysis News: Tesla attracted more than 325,000 preorders of the Model 3 in about a week. Analysis: If anything, the Model 3 is more popular than many expected. Elon Musk tweeted that surprising figure on Thursday, and he said just five percent ordered the maximum number of two. That seems to indicate actual owners rather than speculators are fueling the demand. With a starting price of $35,000 before incentives and an electric range of 215 miles, the Model 3 is the Tesla that's attainable for a lot of people. Clearly, that notion is resonating. News: Lincoln has drawn 40,000 hand-raisers for the Continental. Analysis: Okay, that's not a Tesla figure, but it's still an encouraging sign for Lincoln that one of its most famous and historic names still resonates in 2016. It also demonstrates using a real, albeit slightly dusty name, was the right call for the MKS replacement. "No other Lincoln vehicle has generated this much interest in this little time," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said in New York last month. The concept that debuted a year ago put Lincoln back on the map, and the production version remains true to that promise. It will stand out on the road when it arrives this fall, and ultimately, that kind of style will determine Lincoln's future.
Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns
Tue, Dec 29 2015Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
