Classic Car Overview
2000 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series Sedan For consignment, a 2000 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series sedan with a title verified 97,802 actual miles. This garage kept luxury car has been well maintained and is the recipient of recent tune up upkeep including belts, fluids, sparks, and filters. According to the sales brochure, Its sense of style makes a powerful statement. The V8 engine quietly confirms it. There is a heritage here. Sophistication. Drama. True luxury, redefined for today. Exterior Brilliant two stage Silver Frost Metallic could have come from the Lone Rangers gun belt and represents an understated elegance, augmented by a black pinstripe along the shoulder line and chrome body trim that encircles the entire car traveling across both bumper covers. The once renowned floating brick now has rounded edges, including the C-pillar and waterfall decklid capped by handsome red tail lights just proud of the body edge. A long rear overhang means a sizable trunk is on hand and a long hood is fronted by a streamline speed train of a grille with flush, composite headlights. 16-inch snowflake aluminum wheels were specific to the Signature Series and look good at distance, as do the chrome door handles and bezels. The keyless entry pad which normally fades or cracks, is in perfect condition and a convenient feature youll use more than you think! Imperfections include a zig zag scratch on a horizontal surface, some peeling and scuffed clear on the wheels, and some discoloration on the rear bumper cover. Interior Wood has always adorned luxury cars and in 2000, it starts with plastic woodgrain trim on the gray based doors giving an air of elegance with the contrast, finishing with a carpeted kick panel with combo courtesy/safety light. Up front, thickly cushioned leather buckets seats are fit for a king and queen, and the drivers seat shows some expected patina with wrinkling and compression while the rear seats with hideaway armrest are very nice, all wearing the Lincoln crest. Our gray steering wheel has convenient thumb switches, and the column leads to a woodgrain framed instrument cluster, a simple arrangement of speedometer, temp gauge, gas gauge, and two digital screens with bright green displays. In the center, the factory Alpine AM/FM/Cassette player over the climate panel in the gray plastic mid dash, while a grand panel of faux burl wood greets the passenger, all in clean condition. With the shifter on the column, the floor is open and covered with plush gray carpet matched in color by the foam backed headliner and fully finished trunk. Going golfing? No problem! Kids hockey practice? This trunk will accommodate even if your son is a goalie. Drivetrain Ah, the days before plastic dress up covers! Therefore, the 4.6 SOHC V8 is in plain sight, generally driver quality, and putting out 205 horsepower with fuel injection, smoothly rowing through a 4R70W 4-speed automatic that sends power to the Ford 8.8 axle in back with 3.08 gears. Lincolns flagship also gets power disc brakes front and rear. Undercarriage At first what looks like surface rust seems to be an amber colored rust preventative and its been applied liberally to untreated metals, hardware, and seams that would otherwise show surface rust. There is some surface rust too, on the driveshaft and A-arms in particular, but the underside is very clean given the mileage. The single exhaust runs through an original equipment muffler before exiting unceremoniously under the bumper cover and suspension consists of coil springs in front and self leveling air springs in back. Drive-Ability Into the lap of luxury we go and this silver bodied, gray gutted car delivers on its promise of comfort and a gentle ride. If youre looking for an SCCA contender, scratch this off your list, but if youre looking for some well maintained opulence, put this on your radar. Its a joy to drive with adequate power, solid braking, and a floating ride. And all functions operate as they should! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Vintage muscle cars can be beaten by some modern pedestrian cars. Old sports cars can be turned out by your average modern coupe. But theres something about old school luxury that stays true and is hard to beat by todays cars that are overrun with gizmos and gadgets and distractions. This is analog comfort, the configuration of which now looks simple and direct. Heck, this is one you might actually still be able to work on yourself when the time comes!
