1983 Lincoln Continental Mark 6 Coupe.
Mechanically..... The engine runs well, but the transmission is sluggish. It shifts out, but takes awhile to shift out of low gear when its cold. I was told it could be a clogged filter or possibly a vacuum leak. I don't want to put any money into it so we are selling it AS IS. At worst it would need a transmission, but I believe its a common inexpensive C6. It has a newer battery and has always started for me.
The body......is in good shape for a 30 year old car. I think it was possibly an older repaint. The paint does shine and look good from 10 foot, but if you get close it has some orange peel. Its NOT a show car, but a respectable driver. All the wire hubcaps are there and match. The tires are very good all the way around. The AC blows cold, but the compressor makes a little noise. You have to open the hood to hear it. Everything seems to work except the gas gauge. The drivers window works great, but the passenger side needs help up and down as does the power lock also. The power antenna goes up but only goes down half way. The vinyl top has started to crack and has "stars" all over it. And NO.....the car is not wet in the pictures. Its that shiny!!!
The interior is very nice for its age. No huge rips or tears in the leather. The dash is also free of any cracks. It does have an aftermarket CD player installed, but it was done correctly. The headliner is in tack and does not sag. The door panels are all in good shape as well.
Overall the car is in great shape for its age. It has sat for awhile and needs a little TLC, but it does run and drive. Its a great start to a weekend cruiser or to the golf course! Not many left around in this condition.
This car is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction and cancel all bids at any time in the event the car sells locally.

Lincoln's $5B revival bid hinges upon new D6 chassis
Mon, 27 Oct 2014It's no secret that Lincoln has received short shrift from the Ford Motor Company for years, and former CEO Alan Mullay even wanted to kill the whole thing off when he ran things. Today, things appear to be trending in a different direction. Fresh investment has helped enable a sizable marketing push for its well-regarded MKC compact crossover, a couple of awards for the company and plant the seeds for a major expansion into China. While the situation is still in the early going, it looks like Lincoln is on a tentative (if long) path towards a turnaround. If new reports are accurate, the brand is poised to build on that momentum with its largest investment in new products in years thanks in large measure to a new modular platform codenamed D6.
According to four unnamed insiders speaking to Reuters, FoMoCo is investing over $5 billion over the next five years, partially to create a new modular platform to underpin multiple Lincoln vehicles - and possibly some Ford products, too. Development is reportedly being overseen by the division's new boss, Kumar Galhotra. At the moment, specific details about the D6 chassis aren't yet known, but it's rumored to have the flexibility to support front-, rear- and all-wheel drive vehicles. According to Reuters, the first model using the framework could be an MKZ replacement and seven-passenger MKT successor in 2019.
Until the D6-based models hit, expect to see continued expansion from Lincoln. Ford management isn't trying to turn around the division overnight and is planning "in terms of generations of products," according to current CEO Mark Fields. The strategy unsurprisingly includes a production version of Lincoln's recent MKX Concept, as well as an all-new Navigator using aluminum-intensive architecture. Reuters also claims the MKS is due for renewal in the meantime, including with a longer-wheelbase version to appeal to the brand's new Chinese buyers.
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
