Please Wait For All Pictures To Load!
Offered for your consideration is this fantastic Dark Clove Poly (dark brown metallic) 1986 Ford Crown Victoria LX. We just acquired this car from a Florida collector in less than ideal mechanical condition and a somewhat weathered appearance (neither of which were expected) and have just completed a very thorough recommissioning of the car to make it safe and reliable for occasional or daily use. This work included but is not limited to new brake master cylinder and calipers, istributor cap, otor, lugs and wires, il & filter change, ransmission fluid and filter change, ear axle oil change, ower steering fluid change, rake fluid flush, ir and fuel filters changed, ull cooling system flush and fill and a full air conditioning service including conversion to R134a. I'm sure I'm forgetting something - the car barely ran and did not stop when it arrived - and now it does everything as it should.
Though very dull when we acquired the car, o the best of my ability to tell (with the help of a paint gauge) it wears all of its original finish and following a careful detailing we managed to bring it back to almost as-new appearance. Unlike many Ford products of this era, his car did not spend enough time outside for its clearcoat to start peeling!
All four of the original locking wire wheel covers and the original tool remain with the car and are in great shape.
We put four new Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II whitewall radials on, hese are about our favorite old American car tire today!
It is hard to believe that this car retains so much originality and yet is nearly 30 years old!
Likewise, he original vinyl top is perfect!
Would you believe that the rear defogger works perfectly as well?
Chrome, rim and lenses all around are just lovely as are the bumper rub strips (an upcharge option!)
Original selling dealer's badge!
At least six bodies would fit in here!
Nice and straight from every angle!
The reflection is pretty outstanding... our detailer does a fine job!
In addition to all the heavy mechanical work mentioned above, uch light sorting was needed as well, ncluding repairs to the climate control vacuum switch in the dash, uel level sending unit (new brass float in the tank), ower window switches and lockout switch repaired, iper motor repaired - and a lot more sorting out.
At present, have yet to complete installation of a correct original Ford power antenna switch and wiring harness, he new old stock parts are on order and expected any day now. Someone in the past installed a new Ford antenna in place of the original whip (which is in the trunk) but did not expect that they needed to wire it in, o their project stalled! In the meantime, he antenna goes up and down manually and it works when hot wired.
Let's take a look inside. Once again, removed the switch panel from this door and cleaned everything - mirrors, indows and locks all work perfectly as a result.
The original Sand Beige seats are in wonderful condition, he driver's seat has 6-way power adjustment.
The car has tilt steering, ruise control (works perfectly), ntermittent wipers and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, ll options on the LX package Crown Vic.
The dash (and original windshield) have no cracks or other damage.
The heavy plush carpeting and original mats are also in wonderful condition!
The passenger's seat is in similar condition to the driver's side!
As is the door panel on this side...
Naturally, he rear compartment appears to have been seldom, f ever, sed....
The car retains most, f not all, f its original paperwork and hang tags to include the window sticker.
Pretty amazing!
Under the hood, he original 5.0 EFI V-8 is nice and clean!
Note the new brake master cylinder...
Nice, lean and fully serviced.
Mileage may go up slightly during the course of auction (as of this moment it is about 17,960) - in fact, actually drove the car home tonight as it's just such a pleasure to cruise in and I am still looking for it to throw out a fault that I can solve prior to giving it a new home. While I never make any guarantees with an old car, am fairly confident that even an old car newbie could fly in and drive this home to anywhere that there are roads to travel on - parts for this car are cheap and abundant should you have a problem along the way and there's certainly no mystery about fixing it to even the most lightly-skilled mechanic.payment/shipping
This car is being sold by a licensed and bonded dealer of fine used automobiles located in Augusta (where this Crown Victoria is located) and Savannah, eorgia. Please understand that this is an unusual 30 year old survivor-quality car hand-built and recently resurrected by men and not gods - and is thus sold as-is, here-is with no implied or stated warranty or guarantee; please be realistic about your expectations (i.e., f you expect a new Taurus, uy one instead). As stated above in the listing, e have made a significant effort over the last few weeks and some to correct issues that we found with the car - and with said effort now believe it to be in extremely good health based on many years of experience with other sports, lassic and unusual cars of all types over many years.
Full payment is due within seven days of auction close unless discussed with us in advance of your bid. Your winning bid is a contract to buy, ot just to look or for first right of refusal; the only reason your contract would be null and void is if it was found that we willingly misrepresented the car in the above description. If you feel you need to inspect the car prior to purchase, lease arrange and have this inspection done prior to placing a successful bid, e welcome your visit. Accepted forms of payment include a cleared certified cheque or wire transfer in the dealership's bank account, r cash in person on pickup (no cash via the mail, Bay!). We require that paperwork be completed prior to or at the time of pickup (should you do this in person) or filed back with us if done remotely. We do not charge any tax to out of state buyers as this is something you handle at the DMV or, aturally, ther dealers in all 50 states.
Shipping or pickup must occur within fourteen days of auction close unless discussed with us in advance of your bid. We are happy to refer you to one of the high-quality open or enclosed collector car shipping companies that we use frequently in the normal course of business - and we cannot stress enough the importance of using such a carrier and not a random open transport broker or carrier you might find online, articularly as this is an unusual older special interest car in phenomenal condition. For international buyers, e can carry the car to the port of Savannah at no charge or to other ports for a nominal fee, hough shipping beyond the U.S. border must be entirely arranged for and paid by you. Please contact us if you need any assistance with logistics and we'll be happy to help.
We reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early at any time during the course of the sale should a sale occur outside of eBay as the car has been offered quietly through other channels over the past couple of weeks. We typically do not do this at all and only when full payment has been received from such a buyer will the auction be pulled. You may rest assured that if and when the reserve price is met, he auction will run to the end, eriod.

The new old stock Ford antenna switch and wiring harnesses (2) came in this morning and the power antenna now goes up and down on the switch. I'm still looking for the correct panel for under the dash so that it can be mounted in place; this is the same one that covers the fuse panel. For now, he switch is poking out from one of the lower dash covers. I'm sure one will turn up eventually, hether for you or for me. I just can't bring myself to attempt to cut the hole in the present one in exactly the right place...
