Only 120 made in these attractive colors! 30,000 actual miles. This
is a show quality survivor. Typically there is a lot more "patina"
on an unrestored original car. I am pretty astonished at how nice
this car still looks. Original paperwork includes invoice, warranty
card, build sheet, literature and a Marti Report. 1st owner bought
it new at Hollywood Lincoln in Florida. In 1990 he sold it to a
younger friend that used to detail the car for him. In 2019 he sold
it to the 3rd owner. All 3 owners treated this car with care and
pride.
EXTERIOR: Only 120 were built total in these colors, documented by
the Marti Report. This could be the only one still existing. Very
attractive looking. Upgraded polished aluminum wheels and new wide
white wall radial tires. The tires just replaced the originals.
There is even a set of curb feelers so you don't scuff up those big
whitewalls. I am amazed at how well kept the original body and
paint are. The paint is so good I assumed it's been repainted. I
went around this car twice inspecting it closely, I cannot find any
signs of a repaint. It's straight, there's no door dings, no
scrapes, no damage, no rust. The original yellow paint has a smooth
glossy finish. It still has the original Hollywood Lincoln Mercury
emblem on the trunk. The chrome is still bright, the stainless is
straight. The glass is crystal clear, even the iconic opera
windows. The full length vinyl top was an option, it still looks
great. There are some bumps under the vinyl on the windshield
pillar. The door jambs are clean as a whistle. The weatherstrips
and window seals are all still soft.
INTERIOR: It is practically like new! The white leather is still
soft and bright white. I'm sitting in this car right now and it's
so comfortable I want to spend the day in here. The pull straps on
the door panels are cracked, other than that it looks new.
Excellent upholstery, door panels still look new. The dash area is
pristine. The chrome sparkles, no cracks, clear lenses. The
steering steering wheel looks brand new, the rim blow horn works.
It has optional AM-FM 8-track player. The power antenna works. The
white headliner and visors are pristine. The plush carpet is not
worn. All the interior lights work. Seat belts are excellent.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Big 460 motor runs smooth. It's actually a very
clean motor compartment for a survivor. It looks just like it
would've when it left the factory. All the stickers, paint stamps
and markings are still there. The motor still has a nice Ford blue
paint. The air cleaner assembly is complete with the snorkels,
vacuum lines, heat riser. Correct Motorcraft hose and clamps,
Motorcraft spark plug wires. The plastic overflow and washer
bottles are not cracked. The hood lamp works. The air conditioning
system is complete.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: This giant trunk is carpeted wall to wall. It is
like new. It has an original Michelin tire for a spare. The jack
assembly is there. The original weather strip is excellent, trunk
light works, it still has "paint ok" stamp on the trunk lid.
UNDERSIDE: Excellent original condition. No rotten metal, only
typical surface haze. The floors are rock solid, they still have
factory yellow overspray on them. The exhaust is original, it's
still quite but the resonator is developing a hole. The suspension
components look clean and proper. It has disc brakes in front.
Bottom of the motor is not greasy. The trans is the original C-6
automatic. There are still factory paint markings on the trans and
rear end.
Really, I've had these with even less miles but I have never had a
survivor in as good condition as this one is. It's show quality and
original! The colors are attractive too. Back then there were a lot
of brown, beige, green. It is an outstanding car!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
