Up for sale is this magnificent 1979 Lincoln Town Car. You will be noticed when you drive this car! Driving this car is like floating on a cloud; it’s very smooth. It has approximately 95,000 miles on it. This was my father's car and he was the original owner. I inherited the car upon his passing. Here are some details about the car: Exterior: Overall, this is a very good looking car. The color is called “Wedgewood Blue”, Lincoln color-code 34. There is some surface rust in the usual places; it appears a bit deeper behind the passenger-side front fender. The chrome is in good shape, showing some light pitting in areas. There are some rust holes in the rear bumper, as pictured. The landau vinyl roof covering is intact, though a bit faded. There does not appear to be any rust under the vinyl roof. Engine: The engine is the 400-CID model with a 2-barrel carburetor. It runs on 87-octane unleaded gasoline. I had the car inspected for safety issues and the engine tuned in 2013. I had the ignition wires and spark plugs replaced. I also had the carb rebuilt and fuel system cleaned at the same time. Any suspect hoses were replaced. The transmission is the C-6 three-speed automatic transmission and shifts smoothly. The car gets around 10 miles per gallon. Interior: The spacious interior is in very good to excellent condition. The fabric is crushed velour and the color is “Wedgewood Blue”, the same as the exterior. The dashboard and doors have faux burled wood trim. The back seat and floor appear as if they have never been used. The front seat and floor show very little wear. However, the lower left hand part of the steering wheel by the cruise control shows a crack. All the fabric and carpeting are original. The AM / FM / 8-Track player is a “Quadraphonic” unit. The radio does work, however the 8-track doesn’t play. It also appears that one of the channels does not work. The power antenna does work properly. The Cartier “digital” clock works fine and keeps accurate time. On the tilting steering wheel you will see the controls for the automatic cruise control. The tilt works fine as does the cruise control. There is a small crack in the lower left hand part of the steering wheel trim, just below the trim on the wheel.
