NR 1973 Lincoln Continental 59,988 miles.  NOT RUNNING

This is a no reserve auction.  ANY QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE BIDDING!

Here's the story:

Car turns over fine.  Not getting spark.

I bought the car 2 years ago with plans of restoring it.  Other than doing a little body work not much has happened.  Earlier this summer I started tinkering under the hood.  

When I bought the Lincoln the guy had put in new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points.  
 
I put in a charged up battery, put some fresh gas.  No go.  So I replaced the coil.  Still no spark.
 
I really hate to sell this but currently it is just sitting in my yard, under a car cover.
 
The floors and frame are great.  The body has some rust here and there, nothing really serious.  Vinyl top is shot.

I have the hub caps off and fender skirts off and in the car.
 
I have the title.
 
The Lincoln was last inspected in 1995.
 
My plans were to restore.  My father had one of these, almost exactly like this one, when I was a small child and I always wanted his to be my first car.  Of course - time had its way and that Lincoln (known as the Green Meanie) and it was parked and become history.

I have no other info.  I'm not a mechanic.  You can feel free to ask question, and I'll answer those I know the answers to.  

Things happen and I don't know when I'll have any $ to put into this beauty.  She deserves much more than napping under a car cover in my back yard./>



PAYMENT
I accept payment via PayPal.  If paying via PayPal - I require a non refundable $500 depost.  If you want to pay cash upon pick up, this must be discussed prior to bidding.  Full payment due 48hrs after auctions end.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After 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.
