1972 Lincoln Continental 8 Passanger Limosine ~ Time Capsole, 85k Original Miles on 2040-cars
Lenexa, Kansas, United States
|
1972 Lincoln Continental Limousine ~ goes by the name "Large Marge" ~ Very nice shape, with 85k original miles, runs & drives excellent. Original 460-4V V8 engine with Automatic Transmission, both were professionally rebuilt in the past, car starts right up, runs good, shifts good, idles good at stoplights, just like it should. Tires are a nice set of matching Michelins that are like new. All lights work, even the reverse lights. Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows & Sunroof (all work, some need help closing/ rolling up), factory rear-air unit (works), factory 8 trac player built into dash, and another 8 track player built into wall of passenger rear seating area. There is also a factory built in Cassette player and clock on the opposite side of the rear seating area. I do not have 8 tracs or tapes to try these out, they look to be in nice shape. There used to be a TV mounted between the backwards seats, which is why the big antenna is on the trunk. The antenna is removable, and is even seen off the car in one of the pictures. There is one small hole drilled in the decklid for the mounting of the antenna, and the back mounts are just suction cups, so removing the antenna if not wanted is not a problem. I have been told this is a PRESIDENTIAL LIMO because it has the flag holders mounted to the front fenders... I don't know enough about these cars to know if that's true or not, but you could put flags on your fenders if you want to, I have the poles that go in there as well. This car is incredibly solid, NO RUST HOLES ANYWHERE that I cans see, even the frame and floors, and quarter panels are rock solid! Paint is old and shows its age, it has little dings, 2 dents in the whole car (one up front on the inside of the passage side front point, the other on the drivers side rear quarter in front of the rear wheel). Overall, this car is in very nice shape, especially for its age and never being restored. This is a unique opportunity to own a very neat, collectable car that is ready to drive and enjoy now. Buy this car and have someone drive you around town in it... :)
Interior is nice for being original, dash has a few small cracks, due to its age. The carpet is a little faded, but nice shape and all original. Power locks work when they want to, due to age. Headliner is perfect. Door panels are nice, the arm rests are showing their age and have plastic filler pieces cracked up, I am including a nice original full set to replace the original set in the car still. The cool Flip-up / hideaway headlights work when car is running and lights are turned on or off. Wipers work good, heater and air vents blow properly. Never tried the AC (always had the windows down, sunroof back) but its all there and belt still hooked up to compressor. Very comfortable car to sit in/ ride in/ or drive. Carpeted trunk, with full size spare, and access to President rear-air unit. Car also comes with a folder full of receipts and paperwork from work done on this car over the years. This car is tagged, insured, and driven at least once a week... You would not believe the LOOKERS and the smiles this car brings to everyone's faces when we drive it! Large Marge draws a crowd wherever we drive her. Hate to sell, bought a new truck, need to find my limo a new home. Clean Kansas title in my name.
Runs & Drives Great! Fly into Kansas City KCI Airport and drive it home! A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours after the auctions end, so I know I have a serious buyer. The remaining balance is due within 7 days after auctions end. If paying with a cashiers check or money order, your payment must clear my bank before you take possession of the car or have a shipper pick it up. Please be sure to email me with any questions, I'm a nice guy and easy to work with. I live right off I-35 in the South-West part of the Kansas City area, in Lenexa Kansas. Don't miss your chance to own a very unique classic car in very good shape, for a great price! Lets find LARGE MARGE a new home! |

Ford investing $5B in Lincoln
Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.
Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?
Fri, 18 Jan 2013There's no single silver bullet that will cure all that ails the Lincoln brand, and Ford knows that just as surely as we do. Coming out with exciting new models like the well-received MKC crossover counts as several steps in the right direction, assuming of course that the production version is as appealing as the concept just shown at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but more is needed. According to Jim Farley, executive vice president of Lincoln, one more trick may be "mass customization."
Put another way, Lincoln is considering ways to allow buyers to customize their new vehicles right off the showroom floor, similar to how things are done at Mini, and, to a lesser extent, Scion, where Farley previously served as corporate manager. Imagine, for instance, ordering a new MKC with a large Lincoln insignia embossed into the leather seatbacks, according to Automotive News.
While we're not so sure anybody is all that interested in paying extra for more Lincoln logos, it's a strategy that has proven rather fruitful at Mini. Only time will tell if Ford's erstwhile luxury division will once again be seen as something truly worth reaching for, and if customers are willing to pay a further premium for customization.
