American Classic: Lincoln Limousine for Sale in Novokuznetsk – Photos

A famous limousine released in the 1980s by Ford has been put up for sale in Novokuznetsk (Kemerovo Oblast, Russia). The owner is asking 800,000 rubles (about $8,900 at current rates) for the luxurious white-and-blue car, according to an ad published in late January on a popular website.

An anonymous user is ready to part with a first-generation Lincoln Town Car. According to the description, the sedan first hit the road in 1989 and has racked up over 100,000 kilometers. Despite this, the passenger limousine, released in a small series, is in running condition.

Along with the car, the owner is ready to give away summer and winter tires and two Bluetooth tape decks built into the panel.

According to the owner, the limousine has not been in any accidents during its almost 40-year history, and it has an automatic transmission.

For the retro limousine Excalibur, the driver will have to pay 800,000 rubles, but the ad author is open to a trade.

In Kuzbass, one can find many legendary cars, including the Pobeda (a Soviet car), Kopeika (a nickname for the VAZ-2101), Zhiguli (the original name for Lada cars), and Chaika (a Soviet luxury car). Some of them come to Kemerovo every year for a retro car exhibition. To keep the participants running, presentable, and drawing exclamations of admiration from city residents, owners spend hundreds of thousands of rubles. Recently, we spoke with the owners of luxurious «old-timers» about where they found the rarities and how they saved them from becoming scrap metal.
