Lincoln Other (1979)
for sale

Price: US $0.99

Description:

I buy and sell for a living. I'm essentially one of those guys from American Pickers on TV. When I went to this estate sale looking for deals on antiques, I never expected to go away with a car. But when you're handed a deal, you take it! Now it's time to pass it on to you!
This 1979 Lincoln Versailles was top-of-its-class upon its production. They were never a great seller, and there aren't many left out there! It's truly a collector's piece that is destined to go up in value! This car was owned by an elderly man who has since passed away and all the belongings were liquidated at public auction. That's where I come in. The car sat for years (9-10 to be exact) and had gunk built up in the gas tank. They couldn't get it started at the auction. I bought the vehicle and had it towed to my mechanic who gave it the one-over. We ended up doing quite a bit of work, including a brand new gas tank, float, and fuel sending unit. In addition, he greased up the front end, changed the oil, put on new wiper blades, pressure washed the engine and topped off the windshield washer fluid. It now drives like a dream! It's important to note this vehicle is carbureted, and takes some patience to start. She's cold-natured and you've got to love on her a bit. It's as good as the work you're willing to put in it- and when it comes to vehicles, there's always room for improvement!
Bottom line, I took a barn-find covered in dirt and dust- and got it running. I drove her around town and she handles great! This Lincoln is LOADED with features! Some of them include:
- A/C
- Power seats
- Power locks (need some work)
- Leather interior
- Cassette radio
- Cruise control
- Heated mirrors
- Lit displays
- 4-wheel disc brakes
- Bucket seats
- More!
She's blue on blue with blue leather interior, a classic combination! Overall body condition is pretty good, there are some small rust spots, light scratches, and one or two small dings. It was stored under a carport, so it avoided years of sun and harsh snowfalls. The interior coating over the paneling is flaking in a few places. The seats are in GREAT shape! Like most cloth-ceiling vehicles from that time, the fabric is falling down in places. Odometer reads 82, 317 and I believe those are original. I found hand written papers logging gas mileage from as early 2003, the previous owner cared for this car meticulously! I encourage you to look at photos and contact me with questions. I will do my best to respond promptly!
I have clear Indiana title in my name. I am located in Evansville, Indiana. I encourage a local or third-party inspection before bidding! This vehicle is being sold AS-IS with no warranty of any kind expressed or implied! I don't mind shipping this vehicle as long as buyer cover's 100% of shipping costs and preparation for shipping. Shipper must be a reputable service with tracking information! Immediate non-refundable $200 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close via PayPal. The balance may be paid in cash upon pickup, certified bank check, or a PayPal transaction separate from the deposit. I will work with you in any way I can assisting in payment and shipping. SELLING IN AN ABSOLUTE NO RESERVE AUCTION FORMAT!!! Please don't ask me for a Buy-It-Now price. I look forward to conducting business with you!
