PPI's WELCOME OFFERS WELCOME! Evolve Motors and Chicago Car Club
are pleased to present this 1983 Lincoln MKVI! A few weeks back, a
woman who has long come to our shop for paint and body work stuck
her head into the showroom and asked if we would be interested in
taking a look at two of her neighbor's cars that were coming up for
sale, a �79 Ford Thunderbird and an �83 Lincoln MKVI. She told us
that her late neighbor, a Chicago doctor, had passed away close to
ten years ago and his wife was now moving out of the house and was
going to sell his cars. The garage where the cars were stored was
right up the street, so we went on over. The elderly widow let us
into the garage and told us all about her husband and his cars;
meticulous only begins to describe the late owner's care for the
cars. The garage was well lit, neat, and had a Freon system mounted
on the wall so he could maintain the cars' air conditioning systems
himself. Underneath just a thin coat of dust, it was very clear
that these cars were in close-to-new condition. We were told that
the Lincoln was the doctor's daily driver, while the T-Bird was his
weekend car. The Lincoln is truly a nearly-perfect "survivor" car;
it has just 39,720 miles on it and carries itself down the road
like a real dream boat! It's unbelievably smooth, quiet, and
refined. It's a fully loaded luxury car with a digital dash
display; it is absolutely the pinnacle of early 80s opulence. I
cannot think of anything more enjoyable to eat up highway mileage
in. Exterior: White paint is original throughout, as confirmed with
an elcometer. There are no spots of touch up paint anywhere on the
car. The body is in excellent shape, with absolutely no dents or
dings. Chrome is perfectly intact and free of oxidation or dents
throughout, even on the lowest points of the car. White paint looks
great in contrast with the blue pinstripes and blue leather
interior. Paint shines bright and shows very little signs of age;
it's very clear that this car was garage-kept and babied since new.
All lights, including lower fogs, are clear and crack-free, as is
all glass. There are no wiper streaks or nicks on the windshield.
Wheels are in nice shape, with only slight evidence of
curb-rubbing. Tires are Firestone FR680s with 80% tread remaining
and no dry rot. Overall, the condition of the exterior is very
impressive. This is a true survivor car that looks and feels very
much like it did in 1983. Interior: While the exterior is in
absolutely phenomenal condition, the interior presents even better.
Light blue leather seats are extraordinarily comfortable and are in
like-new shape. Carpeting is perfect as well, with no fading or
stains or tears. Wood grain dash shows no aging whatsoever, it
shines bright and looks as-new. There are no dash cracks or warping
of the plastic. Digital display works flawlessly, and features tech
that is impressive to see on a car from the early 80s. Buttons on
the dash, which are all functional, allow the driver to track fuel
economy, trip distance and ETA, in addition to changing from mph to
kph. All powered systems function without fault - R134a air
conditioning, heat, front and rear defrost, original radio and
speakers, cruise control, powered windows, powered seat adjust, and
power locks. The car is equipped with an alarm system with a
push-button kill switch mounted under the dash. There's also a CB
radio mounted under the dash. Headliner is tight, and the rear
seats, much like the rest of the interior, are mint. This car was
clearly fastidiously taken care of by the original owner. Under the
Hood: This �83 MKVI retains its original 302cid 5.0L V8 and 4-speed
AOD automatic transmission with just 39,720 miles. Under the hood,
the car pres
