Here is a huge, massive 1977 Lincoln Town Coupe. It's a Town car, but a 2 Door. Rare, luxurious, and as big as they came. 19' 5" to be pretty close. Weighing almost 5000 pounds, it's a big solid chunk of a car. If you Google "1977 Lincoln Town Coupe", you'll get several people's opinion of it, it's ride, and of it's reliability. They all mention the good and the bad, but one thing is in common with all of them, it's a plush, comfortable ride that is bigger than most anything out there.
It is very original and complete. There looks to be a lot of original paint on it. The right front fender appears to have been repainted, but I don't see any signs of a collision, so who knows why. The power windows, including the power vent windows, all work. The door locks try really hard to work, and sometimes they do. The factory stereo makes noise and functions, but makes a humming noise. I never turned it on and let it warm up, so who knows, it may get better.
The gauges all seem to work. The speedometer doesn't have a needle like a regular car, so it's just cool all on it's own. All of the lights, headlight doors, wipers, and so on all work. The big 460 starts easily, idles well, and has a ton of torque. It moves the car along nicely. It's like a living room on wheels. A living room that will smoke it's tires that is!
Since I bought it at a collector car auction in March, all I know is that if came from an estate sale. The title shows 82,000 actual miles as of 2/01/2002. As you can see, not a lot of time on the road in the past 10 + years.
Mechanically, I would call it great. Smooth, powerful, and will probably not need a thing anytime soon except for tires. They are old and ugly, but still hold air. I have driven about 70 miles on them locally, and had no intentions of changing them. I assumed the next buyer would put some big crazy wheels on it, so I didn't bother. The battery is weak, but if you start it every few days, it's fine. The AC doesn't work, but you might get lucky and all it needs is a recharge. I'm sure a tune up and general maintenance stuff wouldn't hurt, but you don't HAVE TO do anything.
The low fuel light works, and I know that because I ran out of gas after I took the pictures. It was raining, and I was trying to hurry...so if you're curious...it has a working gas gauge and light, but it helps to look at them occasionally.
It's being sold at NO RESERVE. Winning bidder will own it, so only serious bidders please. If you want to see it, hear it run, or drive it...please make sure to BEFORE the auction ends. I reserve the right to end the auction in the event the car sells to a local buyer, or if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. If you're into gigantic American cars from the 70's, please look at my other auction for a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Believe it or not, as big as it is, it's still smaller than this Lincoln.
Florida buyers will be required to pay sales tax on the winning price, and any title/registration fees at the DMV rate. I do not charge a fee or mark anything up.
Out of state and out of country buyers only pay the winning bid. Good luck and Happy Bidding.
This car is located in Port Charlotte, FL. I can assist with shipping if you need help, but it will be at the buyers expense.

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
