INTRODUCTION: Only 31,000 actual miles on this survivor! It is
documented with original invoice, protect-o-plate, literature and a
Marti Report. Only 2 owners. The Silver Luxury Group was the
epitome of Lincoln extravagance for 1973. This one invoiced out at
just under $10,000 which is equivalent to $73,000 today! Yes, this
is a great car for several reasons but what really excites me is
the color combination!
Sold new at Don Ross Motor Sales INC, Tipton Indiana to the owner
of Graves Trucking. He owned it until at least 1980, we have
registration and inspection receipt.
EXTERIOR: It was love at first sight for me! Out in the sun that
Silver Moondust paint against the red interior is gorgeous. There
is a lot of sheet metal here and it is straight and clean. It fits
real nice, the giant doors shut like new. Repainted one time in its
original color, the metallic is laid out evenly and the clear coat
is polished smooth and glossy. The correct red pinstripe was hand
painted. The original chrome and moldings are straight and shiny.
The original glass and weatherstrips are in great shape. The silver
padded roof was a part of the Silver Luxury Group. Some classic
Lincoln features worth mentioning are the opera windows, big chrome
grille, faux continental kit trunk and working hideaway lights
INTERIOR: Cranberry Victoria velour interior is in excellent
original condition. The plastic trim, woodgrain, gauges, knobs etc
are excellent. The door panels, armrests and headliner are
excellent. The comfy velour upholstery still looks amazing. Both
front seats are 6 way power with armrests. Down on the floor is the
original plush carpet. It is pure luxury and comfort, I want to
make it my office!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Smooth running big 460 4-barrel motor. It is
completely unmolested and in stock condition down to the decals.
The air cleaner is complete with the duct work and vacuum lines.
The heat and air conditioning were serviced. During our service we
replaced the radiator. It features power steering, power brakes and
cruise control. Very complete, very proper and exceptionally
clean.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Pop the power trunk release to find plush red
carpet, even on the spare. It has the jack assembly and original
spare tire that's never been used. Under the trunk lid is original
paint including the factory ink stamps.
UNDERSIDE: It has been well cared for and maintained as needed.
There's no rust under this car, the floors are rock solid. It has a
correct factory style exhaust with a muffler and resonator. The
brakes are disc in front and drum in back, e-brake cables are
hooked up. Looking up at the motor it's clean. It has its original
C6 heavy duty automatic transmission and cruising gears in the rear
end.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: Nothing compares to the ride these big luxury cars from
the 70s have, it is like driving a boat on a cloud! The colors put
this one over the top and the Silver Luxury Group makes it even
more special.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
