Vehicle Detail

Less than 26,000 ACTUAL MILES What a rare find. Let me tell you the story of this car. A dear friend of mine that I've known all of my life recently lost her aunt. This was her baby. She got it from her mother who almost never drove it. The car was never driven in snow and, according to her, rarely ever had it in the rain. After her passing her husband wanted to sell the car. She called me and suggested that I buy the car as it was so unbelievably nice. Once I saw the car I fell in love with it and bought it on the spot. That was a little over 2 years ago. I've kept the car in dry climate controlled storage ever since and only driven it on rare occasions. I did convert the A/C to 134, replaced the antenna, put valve cover gaskets on it and had it tuned up. My mechanic called me while it was on the hoist just to tell me that he'd never seen a car so clean underneath. It looked like it had never been driven. There is no rust at all on the car. I have included pictures of the underbody. The car drives like it had eyes. All of the power accessories work as they should. The spare has never been down and the trunk looks like it's never been used. It comes with complete documentation including all of the factory books and pamphlets, original bill of sale, showroom documents, even the original keys with the gold Lincoln key fobs attached. The paint is all original and shines like new. There are a couple of small "Bird Poop" stains in the paint. The vinyl top is soft and supple with no hint of dry rot. Even the stitching is undisturbed. Chrome looks new. That being said there are some minor flaws. They kept it in the garage and opened the door of their other car into the right rear door frequently leaving a series of tiny door dings in that door. Being older, she backed into something once which slightly pushed the left rear bumper shock inward. It did not damage the bumper and these shocks can usually be pulled out very easily. There is a small ding above the bumper in the aluminum strip and small crack in the reflector. Most of this is not visible until you walk right up to the car and look. That's about it. Overall, this is probably one of the nicest Town Car's on the planet. It is sold as-is, as-shown due to it's age. I hate to sell this car but I'm not getting enough use out of it to keep it. You are welcome to visit to view and inspect the car by appointment. I have a clear title with the death certificate attached. Illinois buyers must pay appropriate sales tax, license and title fees at the time of purchase. Out of state buyers do not. Good luck bidding.
