1985 Lincoln T/C Limo B.A.B.E. Rally car FS
Name: Mike Arrigo
Location: Va Beach
Means of contact: Mike@icantdo55.com
Price: $2000
Description: 1985 Lincoln Limo
I’m selling my 1985 Lincoln Limousine. I bought it in NJ in December 2011 and it had been sitting for a decade. It is a low mileage (60K) privately owned Limo. Towed it home and prepared it for the 2012 BABE Rally. www.BABERally.com The BABE is a road rally from NY to New Orleans for junk cars. With us leaving from Va Beach VA it proved to be a 3,100 mile journey. The rally route took us over everything from NY city roads to the “Tale of the Dragon “in Tenn consisting of 300+ turns on an 11 mile long mountain road. The rally required a theme so we had made our Limo into a wagon by adding a truck cap to the back (since been removed) and theme it as five different famous wagons.
Car runs and drives flawlessly, more on that later. Got best of 18 MPG on highway!
CURRENT VA INSPECTION till 3/13
Started out when we bought it as a Limo:
It does fit on a car trailer:
Entire brake system was replaced with new.
Cooling system was cleaned and flushed and new t-stat, water pump and fan clutch and all hoses:
Interior was striped and fumigated:
New seats (1985 MR2) installed:
Replaced all charging system wiring and installed 1997 Taurus alternator:
Replaced timing chain and factory plastic cam gear:
Installed heat extractors:
