Description of 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe |
Excellent investment opportunity for the discerning collector of an historic Lincoln Town Coupe. Jim Harris and 9 of his co-workers all retired on the same day and purchased 10 new 1979 Lincoln Town Coupes from Southgate Lincoln Mercury in Sacramento, Ca. They used them to tour around California and in parades. As of 2001 only 2 survived and today this is the only one that has been kept exclusively as a show car. Heavily documented since the original purchase by Jim Harris including: - All original condition - always garage kept and covered- Original window sticker- Original California emissions sticker (still in window)- Original handwritten maintenance log by Mr. Harris since new- Original Lincoln shop manuals- Lincoln binder with original receipts and correspondence- Class winner in every show entered- Rare paint color and and 1 year only Vallaeo interior- Power moonroof/Cartier clock/Dial thermometer- Every option including quadraphonic 8-track (no CB radio)- Custom made Lincoln keys and key chain- New battery and a/c charge in summer of 2016 Based on research of local/national Lincoln registries this appears to be the finest example in existence for this color combination and equipment level. Same owner last 15 years. |
