Factory Paint Code ‘A’ Black Interior Factory Code ‘80’ Burgandy Leather Car is locally advertised so in the event an offer is accepted, I reserve right to end auction early so do not wait to bid. Car is equipped with power everything including, windows, locks, seats, top, trunk lid, and with air conditioning. I will be happy to answer any questions. Just email them. I also encourage the prospective buyers to view the car first if possible? Or have someone look at it for you. This car is in Fantastic Condition for its age. No rust anywhere on car. Southern car that has always been indoors. UNDERNEATH is VERY DRY and ORIGINAL. No Rust underneath (SEE Photos) 74,423 Original Miles Interior: Factory Code “80” (Burgandy) **THE INTERIOR OF THIS CAR WAS JUST RESTORED AT A COST OF $10,000 NOT INCLUDING LABOR!! (See photo of invoice from upholstery shop) Restoration of interior from UPHOLSTERY SHOP included the following: 1. Front seat bottom ALL new foam padding and brand new leather to an exact match of the factory original. This is leather NOT cheapo vinyl. Front seat backs & top & bottom portion of Back seats were so nice that they are just as new but are the factory originals! 2. Front Power Seat motors were rebuilt/new replacements! 3. All door panels were re-dyed to exact factory match. 4. All door panels had new custom stitched carpet restored on panel bottoms with new factory matching plush carpet 5. New armrests on door panels shrink molded just as factory did. 6. Door panel wood grain insert covers restored with new wood grain patterns. 7. New interior plush carpet with new padding etc. Basically the entire interior was restored at a large expense and looks fantastic!! Dashboard is in good condition. It does have the typical small crack along left side of speaker grille. Not sure why but nearly All these Lincolns have a crack there? Must have been a design flaw? In addition to the interior Cost… We just had ALL windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches. 1. All Glass and window regulators etc. were completely removed from doors, cleaned/ lubricated and reinstalled. 2. Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly. SEE PHOTO of Car with Top Down but Windows UP. It shows how perfectly even they are when in up position. 3. Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced. This window service was an additional $2,800 in labor/materials. -Vent fan works, radio works and power antenna goes up and down, as it should. -A/c needs charged/serviced from lack of use. Exterior: -The paint on the car is the factory “A” Code Black. This car has been repainted in its orig. BLACK color. Current condition of paint is good. Not concourse show quality but very nice driver. Buyer should expect to see some flaws in paint / minor dings in paint from storage. A few thin spots here and there where buffer went slightly through paint. Car is rust free and solid. The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted in its original Black color. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process. You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays. Great gloss shine. Good driver+ quality. Black is Beautiful!! Nothing better than an ORIGINAL factory BLACK LINCOLN! Note 1: When the car was restored a N.O.S hood was installed. This hood did not have the hood ornament hole punched. We decided not to install it. I will include the orig. hood ornament in sale for the buyer which can be easily installed by drilling a hole for it.(I think it looks great without it) Note 2: We have a load photos of the process showing disassembly avail. By request. - Very dry and clean underneath with no rust! (See photos) - Chrome on front and rear bumper is driver quality. - Door handle chrome is driver quality - All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape Engine: This car starts right up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger. A pleasure to drive! Engine bay is very clean and well kept/ detailed.(see photos) Note: This car has not been driven in past years. We have done some mechanical maintenance to the car to get it ready for sale. It runs great but will still need to be gone thru. -Just had Tune-Up done to the car including… -new spark plugs -new cap & rotor -new wires -Fresh Lube, Oil & Filter change last week -BRAND NEW White Wall Tires installed last week. CONVERTIBLE TOP: Perhaps the most important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions. This car has just been fully serviced for its top. Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc. Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease and it is quite the site to see!!! Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in good condition. Still fits nice and is soft. A few minor pinched spots from raising and lowering but nothing to be concerned about. No tears etc. Items noted that still need attention… -High beam light switch sticks -Pass. Side exhaust manifold gasket is leaking. I will include new gasket with car. (have not had time to have it installed) -Blinker flasher needs replaced -a/c Freon serviced -Some weather strip/moldings here and there are old and a bit brittle. SUMMARY…All the EXPENSIVE & hard work is done on this car. Still needs some minor areas looked @ but over all… Not many ORIGINAL BLACK Lincolns out there in this shape. No disappointments here. Email me today to get this one before its too late!!! I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. Email questions. Thanks! Check my feedback...
