This man flew to Washington, United States, to buy a 1994 Lincoln Town Car that he saw on Facebook Marketplace for cheap.

It wasn’t close to stock; instead, several quirky mods were installed that made it seem like a cool thing to own.

However, that was likely the only upside because everything else about it was practically in shambles.

Well, it also had artificial horns installed on the hood, if that’s your cup of tea.

’90s Lincoln Town Car came with a bag of surprises

Sam Littlefield from the YouTube channel Hangar Garage saw an ad for an early 90s Lincoln Town Car on Facebook Marketplace for less than $2,000.

Naturally, it seemed like a tempting deal — despite the fact that these cars don’t really age well.

Still, it was decent enough for him to name the YouTube video ‘Best Facebook Marketplace Find EVER!’

When he first drove the car, he was simply glad to hear how it sounded.

To be fair, the apparent V8 inside sounded more like a diesel pickup rather than a luxury sedan from the 1990s.

That was all thanks to a straight-piped exhaust that was hanging without any support brackets.

Further, endless concerns came to light as he started his drive back home.

Not a bad Facebook Marketplace find

The wiper blades were useless, the HVAC was permanently cranked to max heat, and all in all, all electronics were more or less messed up.

With all the constant beeping and flashing lights, it was similar to this woman’s ‘spooky’ Town Car.

Moreover, the driver-side door was only semi-functional, and not to mention the mold and rust issues.

Although all that doesn’t sound pleasing, it wasn’t exactly a bad deal for $1,300 — which is what Sam ended up paying.

More so, he bought this for a ‘Cheap Car Challenge’ and it would be an ideal contender there.

Despite the endless issues, it ran well and could easily be restored to a decent machine with some work.

These guys fixed an abandoned Lincoln Town Car, and it turned out pretty well.

At least it wasn’t a limo variant, or it would have been problematic for the driver and everyone driving near it, just like this abandoned Lincoln limo in Philadelphia.
