I HAVE OVER 100 PICTURES BELOW, IT MAY TAKE THEM A MINUTE TO LOAD BUT THEY ARE WORTH THE WAIT! ALSO A LENGTHY DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS. THIS IS A TRUE BARN FIND, A TIME CAPSULE! I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THE ESTATE OF A FAMILY I HAVE KNOWN MY WHOLE LIFE. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF THESE ON THE MARKET THAT THEY STATE HAVE BELOW 100,000 MILES, HOWEVER, THESE ARE 5 DIGIT ODOMETERS AND UNLESS YOU HAVE DOCUMENTATION YOU HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF THEY ARE ACTUAL MILEAGE. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION ON THIS CAR AND LOTS OF IT, NOT TO MENTION IT IS A ONE OWNER CAR. I HAVE MANUALS, REGISTRATION CARDS, WINDOW STICKER, OIL CHANGE RECORDS, EVERYTHING! THIS CAR LIVED INDOORS IN A FULLY ENCLOSED, GARAGE ITS ENTIRE LIFE. IT HAS THE 460 ENGINE IT WAS DRIVEN REGULARLY UNTIL 1991. THE GENTLEMAN THAT OWNED IT WAS IN HIS 70'S AT THAT TIME. HE PURCHASED A NEW CAR (ANOTHER LINCOLN I MIGHT ADD) AND DID NOT DRIVE THIS ONE ANY LONGER, HOWEVER, HE DID KEEP IT INDOORS, IT WAS RELOCATED FROM HIS GARAGE ATTACHED TO HIS HOUSE, WHICH WAS ALSO FULLY ENCLOSED, TO THE METAL BUILDING IT WAS IN WHEN I BOUGHT IT, WHICH WAS FULLY ENCLOSED AND INSULATED, THEREBY NICELY PRESERVING THIS CAR. IT WAS CRANKED UP EVERY FEW MONTHS AND DRIVEN AROUND THE BLOCK UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO, WHEN THE FUEL WENT BAD OR THE BATTERY DIED, NOT SURE WHICH, AND AFTER THAT IT WAS NOT DRIVEN ANY LONGER. HE PASSED AWAY RECENTLY (IN HIS 90'S) AND I PURCHASED IT FROM THE FAMILY (WHO ARE PERSONAL FRIENDS OF MINE). IN THE LAST 4 PICTURES, YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURES OF WHERE IT WAS SITTING WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE REST ARE AFTER I CLEANED IT UP. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY, FLUSHED ALL OF THE FUEL LINES AFTER PUMPING THE OLD GAS OUT OF IT, AND ALSO INSTALLED A NEW MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP! I DROVE IT TO MY OFFICE, WHICH IS A 15 MILE DRIVE, AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE DRIVEN IT. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WORKS! AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, CRUISE CONTROL, IT ALL WORKS! I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW THE AC IS WORKING BECAUSE I DIDN'T PUT ANY FREON IN IT BUT IT IS WORKING AND THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT MAKING NOISE, IT MIGHT COOL BETTER IF YOU DID PUT SOME FREON IN IT, THIS AC IS STILL R-12 HAS NOT BEEN CONVERTED BUT THAT'S NO BIG DEAL. I HAVE LOOKED THIS CAR OVER EXTREMELY WELL AND HAVE SEEN NO SIGNS OF PAINTWORK, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS NEVER HAD ANY PAINTWORK WHATSOEVER. ALSO, THE VINYL TOP IS ORIGINAL, THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS STILL PLUSH AND NOT DRY OR CRACKING AT ALL. THIS CAR IS 100% ORIGINAL, IS RUST FREE, AND NEEDS NOTHING BUT SERVICING TO BE A DRIVEABLE CLASSIC THAT DOES NOT NEED RESTORATION! NOW, FOR THE DISCLAIMER, YES, IT DOES DRIVE GREAT, AND YES, EVERYTHING WORKS, HOWEVER, WITH MY EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND IN ALL THINGS MECHANICAL FROM AIRCRAFT TO SHIPS (LITERALLY) I WILL SAY THAT I WOULD NOT FLY OUT HERE FROM NEVADA AND DRIVE THIS CAR HOME. IN ORDER FOR THIS CAR TO BE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION IT WILL NEED BELTS, HOSES, OIL CHANGE, SPARK PLUGS, TRANSMISSION SERVICE, AND THE USUAL STUFF YOU PUT ON A CAR THAT HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN IN A WHILE. THE BRAKES FEEL GOOD AND WORK FINE, HOWEVER I WOULD LOOK THEM OVER AS WELL. THE TIRES ARE NOT DRY ROTTED AS THEY WERE INSIDE OUT OF THE SUN AND THEY ARE KNEE DEEP IN RUBBER, THEY HOWEVER ARE FLAT SPOTTED FROM SITTING SO LONG BUT THIS MAY FIX ITSELF WITH SOME DRIVING AND IT MAY NOT. I HAVE PRICED THIS CAR TO SELL, I SEE THEM ONLINE BIDDING @ $3500-5500 AND THEY ARE 6 OWNER, PAINTED TWICE, MODIFIED CARS, THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS CAR. EMAIL ME THROUGH EBAY OR DIRECTLY, brian@briantroberts.com WITH ANY QUESTIONS. I WILL ASSIST YOU WITH SHIPPING HOWEVER THE ARRANGEMENTS ARE UP TO YOU TO HANDLE IF THEY ARE INTERNATIONAL. I WILL MEET YOUR SHIPPER ANYTIME WITH ADVANCE NOTICE.
