I've known of this car since the previous owner drove it home in 2008. I worked for this family as a carpenter off and on the whole time they owned it. I know for a fact this car sat majority of the time the previous owner had it. They maybe drove it 250 miles in the four years they owned it. The owner at the time unfortunately suffered a stroke shortly after buying it. Two owners before me passed on the following information about the car. It was brought to Iowa from California in 1971, it was parked in a garage and stored for 27 years, the 430 engine was overhauled and rebuild in 1998 from sitting for so long, the body was repainted in 1998, and it was only driven 700 miles from 71' to 98'. The odometer currently reads 15,135 miles. Based of the information provided by previous owners I believe this to be the original miles of the car. There is very little wear and tear on the brake and gas peddle and also the driver seat definitely doesn't look like someone has sat there for over 100k. Also, the nature of this car isn't intended for really long distance and or a lot of travel. The body is very straight and appears to have never been in any sort of serious accident. There is no serous pitting rust on the car. The only rust is surface rust that has started where the paint is chipped or scratched. This car is perfect for someone looking to do a restoration project on a rare and hard to find car. It has the factory 430 engine (350 hp). It has a three speed turbo-drive automatic transmission. This car is loaded with all sorts cool ultra high luxury items that where the top of the line in its day. The 58'-60' continental is the largest unit-construction car ever built. There were only 1409 of these cars produced in 59'. As you can see in the condition description I've done some of the initial steps for a restoration project to get the car driving and stopping, which it does very well. The engine sound strong and runs very well. The trans shifted through all gears and seems to shift smoothly. This car apparently has the high performance brake booster that I recently had rebuilt by the manufacture. I've only driven the car three miles since I had all the work done. I purchased this car with intentions of selling it from the start to help me out with other projects I have going on. Its pictured with a spare tire on the front passenger side but, that has been replaces with a matching tire allowing the car to be in it's proper stance. I hope this car can go to someone who will bring it to its full potential. All transportation logistics will be up the buyer to arrange.

On Feb-04-14 at 20:07:56 PST, seller added the following information:

There is a piece on the steering wheel that is an extension of the horn that was broken off at some point. I have the part that broke off. Some of the power windows work and some don't. The same could be said for the power locks. Could use some wiring work as mentioned earlier. The hood opens and closes but, doesn't close the easiest. Could use some minor adjusting to get it to close better. Feel free to email with any questions. Thanks

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.
