for sale

Price: US $7,500.00

Description:

Downsizing and the Lincoln must go. Body and paint are in immaculate condition. There is no body damage, rust or a single scratch anywhere. The trunk lid near the keyhole has a few nearly unnoticeable bubbles. Otherwise it is as perfect as you can get.The car was given the Ziebart treatment when new, and the undercarriage is in excellent condition. All body seams show no sign of rust, including the trunk, floor pans, etc. Minimal surface pitting in the suspension and frame.Originally equipped with antilock brakes and cruise control, both have been removed for safety and reliability reasons, the original components are included. A/C won't hold a charge. The original fuel tank charcoal canister has been removed and the line plugged. It is included.Interior in excellent shape. No tears, creases, cracks, signs of wear, etc. The clock runs, but for some reason the time cannot be adjusted.The original radio works, but has been disconnected. In its place there is a modern touch screen AM/FM Stereo/CD/DVD, NAVIGATION, and REAR VIEW camera. Four new speakers in the original locations.All power windows work, but rather sluggish. The motors and mechanisms are OK, but the switches need cleaning up. Power antenna works fine.Since the A/C is not working, I can't test the automatic temperature control. Fan is a little noisy.Four new tires, new front brake hoses, brake master cylinder, fuel sending unit, fuel pump and filter and whatever else I forgot.Engine in perfect mechanical shape. Here are the compression readings for cylinder 1 to 8: 185, 180, 190, 180, 190, 185, 185, 185. Original trunk liner in immaculate condition. All original tools included.Vinyl top must have been replaced, but I can't be sure. It looks perfect, but the silicone seal at the windshield is not quite factory quality. (That's why I think it was replaced)Hydraulic wipers fork fine. A set of factory service manuals goes with the car.I have tried to describe the condition of the car with emphasis on the flaws rather than making exaggerated claims. Overall the car runs as it should and given the low mileage it should last for a long, long time. Available for inspection just about any day/time. I have a lift at home and you can inspect at your leisure. Car is located in Williamstown, NJ.Thank you for looking and good luck.
