for sale is this magnificent 1979 Lincoln Town Car. You
will be noticed when you drive this car!
Driving this car is like floating on a cloud; it’s very smooth. It has approximately 95,000 miles on it. This was my father's car and he was the original owner. I inherited the car upon his passing. Low reserve on the car. Here are some details about the car: Exterior: Overall, this is a very good looking car. The color is called “Wedgewood Blue”, Lincoln color-code 34. There is some surface rust in the usual places; it appears a bit deeper behind the passenger-side front fender. The chrome is in good shape, showing some light pitting in areas. There are some rust holes in the rear bumper, as pictured. The landau vinyl roof covering is intact, though a bit faded. There does not appear to be any rust under the vinyl roof. Engine: The engine is the 400-CID model with a 2-barrel carburetor. It runs on 87-octane unleaded gasoline. I had the car inspected for safety issues and the engine tuned in 2013. I had the ignition wires and spark plugs replaced. I also had the carb rebuilt and fuel system cleaned at the same time. Any suspect hoses were replaced. The transmission is the C-6 three-speed automatic transmission and shifts smoothly. The car gets around 10 miles per gallon. Interior: The spacious interior is in very good to excellent condition. The fabric is crushed velour and the color is “Wedgewood Blue”, the same as the exterior. The dashboard and doors have faux burled wood trim. The back seat and floor appear as if they have never been used. The front seat and floor show very little wear. However, the lower left hand part of the steering wheel by the cruise control shows a crack. All the fabric and carpeting are original. The AM / FM / 8-Track player is a “Quadraphonic” unit. The radio does work, however the 8-track doesn’t play. It also appears that one of the channels does not work. The power antenna does work properly. The Cartier “digital” clock works fine and keeps accurate time. On the tilting steering wheel you will see the controls for the automatic cruise control. The tilt works fine as does the cruise control. There is a small crack in the lower left hand part of the steering wheel trim, just below the trim on the wheel.
What’s Wrong: Here are the defects that I am aware of. There may be more, which is the reason I am selling the car “AS-IS”:

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Lincoln MKC spied in final form
Mon, 14 Oct 2013When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln.
Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.
Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
