Great Colors & Very Comfortable! Loaded! Stock #: 3768-DFW Exterior Color: Brown Metallic Interior Color: Brown Body Type: Sedan Transmission: 4 Speed Automatic Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 5.0 Liter V8 Title Condition: Clear Is this 1985 Lincoln Town Car Signature series collectable? I'll leave that for the "experts" to decide, but the truth is, if you were to put one away as a future classic, this would be the one. And that's not even taking into consideration that these are just fantastic highway cars with impeccable road manners and an interior that is more like an isolation chamber. All for under $10 grand? Yeah, I can see how this car would have a lot of fans.
Classic, timeless colors should always be how you order your big luxury sedans because they always look right. This handsome Brown Metallic car was built near the end of the line for the formal, upright Town Car styling that really dated back to the early '70s, and it has aged quite well now that it's practically become an icon. It's about a mile long, an impression that is reinforced by the straight bodywork and shiny paint, which is in all likelihood still the car's original. It shows just over 100,000 miles, which we have every reason to believe is authentic, and build quality on these cars was such that it still feels tight and solid. Of course, there's plenty of chrome and bright trim, all of which is in good condition and really sparkles against that darker paint, from the baroque grille to the shiny rocker moldings. Add in the padded half roof and it almost looks like a mini (that's a relative term, by the way) limousine.
Plush leather upholstery was the ultimate in luxury in 1985 and the all-original interior is in very good condition. The seats, carpets, and door panels make it feel very private and upscale inside with just a few touches of chrome and faux wood to liven things up. The instruments are Lincoln's traditional square dials with round gauges inside, a look that's still in use today in the Navigator. And as you'd expect, everything is standard, from automatic climate control (which has been upgraded to R134a but could use a service to get back to top performance) to cruise control, to cool power windows with little vent windows that go down first. An original AM/FM/Cassette stereo from Ford is still fitted and there's massive stretch-out room in back, so you can take the whole family on road trips and nobody will complain about the first-class accommodations. The trunk is truly huge, able to handle all their gear and finished in gray mouse-fur upholstery that's in outstanding condition.
Ford's fuel-injected 5.0 liter V8 was the sole powerplant, and you'll surely recognize it as the same one found in Mustangs of the period. OK, it's not as powerful as the Mustang unit, but it's unbeatably smooth and torquey and moves the big Town Car without working too hard. The fuel injection system has proven itself to be bulletproof and yes, if you're that kind of guy, all the Mustang modifications will work on this car, making it potentially one heck of a sleeper. Backed by an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission, it's a tranquil highway cruiser and it probably goes without saying that the suspension soaks up bumps and potholes like a hovercraft. Power steering and power brakes mean that this land yacht is easy to handle and it's equipped with handsome turbine-style wheels that give it an upscale look, especially with 215/70/15 whitewall radials wrapped around them.
Nicely preserved and an excellent specimen in a great color, this is a heck of a lot of first-class transportation for not a lot of cash, regardless of its future collectability. Call today!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle.
