Original Rare Color 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Southport, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a rare car to locate today. The milage is acurate. Only 71113. This Lincoln was special ordered by my wife's grandmother in 1979 and meticulously garage kept by her until her passing last year. We brought it home and immediately put it under a 7 layered high end car cover where it has been sitting. The car had been sitting for about 2 years until we got it. I had the carb rebuilt by a lincoln mechanic and put back on last weekend and now it runs and drives perfect. The seats had been covered with towels for all of its years to prevent fading and wear. It was never smoked in and the carpet, headliner and fabric are all in excellent condition. All of the factory options are still in place, 8 track digital stereo and factory CB radio. It has a nice white half carriage top and the opera windows. all chrome is complete and in great shape. The paint is in excellent condition. There are only a couple very minor blemishes I took pics of and listed. The only things I know of that need attention are as follows: The fuel gauge is not working properly. I think the float in the tank is stuck from sitting. The windshield is cracked on the lower drivers side (pictured also). Price to replace windshield locally was $250.00. The a/c copmressor is very noisy and is not blowing very cold. It seems to have an exhaust leak. I noticed 1 small place under the trim just above the trunk where the paint seems to be bubbled up like the start of rust. I havent seen any other rust on the car. Other than these things it is excellent for its age. The oil was recently changed and it was recently tuned up. It has always had michelin tires. They are in great shape. It rides like you are floating on a cloud and the seats are like sittiing on your favorite couch. Only a few minor details to repair from sitting and you could have a headturning show car. This is a beautiful classic collectors car that needs a loving home where it can be garaged, shown and proudly driven on a Sunday Afternoon. It is being sold as is where is with no warranty given or implied. Please feel free to ask any questions and Thank you for looking. |

Lincoln MKC configurator comes alive
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Lincoln has already announced most of the trim level and option pricing for its upcoming 2015 MKC due out this summer, and now it has launched a configurator allowing prospective buyers to get a better idea of how this new model will stack up against other compact luxury crossovers. We already knew that the MKC will have a starting price of $33,995, but now we know that its price includes a destination charge of $895.
Models equipped with the base 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine come standard with the Premiere package - $33,100 for front-wheel drive and $35,595 for all-wheel drive. Both models offer equipment upgrades from the Select and Reserve packages. The $3,230 Select package adds features like leather seats, power passenger seat, folding and heated door mirrors and painted 18-inch wheels, while the pricier $6,935 Reserve package adds in heated and cooled front seats, panoramic roof, hands-free liftgate, two-tone wheels and an embedded modem (providing features such as remote lock and unlock, vehicle finder and pre-conditioning).
Opting for the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four raises the base price to $39,965, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive and all of the equipment in the Select package; the Reserve package is still optional. All models can be further optioned up with the $2,235 Technology Package (adding adaptive cruise, active park assist and lane keeping system) and the $580 Climate Package (heated rear seats and steering wheel, auto high beams and rain-sensing wipers). Checking all the options, a fully loaded 2015 MKC with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost will have a total MSRP of $47,715.
2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]
Fri, 07 Dec 2012Rebranding 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.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
