1973 Lincoln Continental Coupe West Coast Rust Free Original Unrestored Car on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
Rarely seen unrestored original 1973 Lincoln Continental Coupe with factory copper moon dust paint. This is a 100% rust free west coast car with original powerhouse 460 and C6 transmission. They only made a limited run of these coupes in 1973. The car runs and drives as it should and the engine does not smoke. Mufflers were recently replaced with Thrush mufflers. The body is really straight. There was an older repair job on the right rear quarter panel where the filler is now cracking as seen in photos. No other body work areas.
The interior is also original. The headliner is really nice condition, the dash pad is cracked, the front seat has the typical leather wear spider-like pattern where the white leather dye has worn off but no holes or rips. The back seat is in really nice condition. Window motors run but the windows typically get stuck in the open or closed position. AC blows cold air. The top is in fine shape except for the area below the rear window where it is peeling. A whole new top is $150 from Insanetiques There is no rust under the top whatsoever. Great oil pressure and the gage works as does the temp gage. Fuel gage works off and on. Car always starts right up and runs really strong. So strong that I once considered putting the engine and trans in a hot rod but this car is too nice to be a donor. But the reserve price is right if that's what you have in mind. This a a 100% rust free, solid, original coupe that you don't see that often. The title is clear and in my name. My reserve is very reasonable, if you'd like to know what it is, have questions or want to make me an offer just send an email. |

Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost
Thu, 05 Jun 2014As the first 2015 MKC crossovers slip into dealerships, Lincoln has confirmed power and fuel economy ratings for the compact crossover's optional 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine.
The new range-topping powerplant, thus far otherwise unavailable in the Blue Oval kingdom, will net a healthy 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque from 2,750 revs. Those figures represent gains of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft over earlier estimates, putting the handsome new compact CUV in the hunt with up-engined rivals from Audi and BMW. (A variant of the 2.3L will shortly find its way into the engine bay of the 2015 Ford Mustang, albeit with a number of key changes, including north-south orientation.)
In the MKC, the new engine will net 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it only loses a single mile per gallon in the city cycle versus the 240-hp, 270-lb-ft 2.0L EcoBoost model when fitted with all-wheel drive. Both engines rely on the same six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
Lincoln debuts MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Lincoln is making the decisive commitment that it wants to improve its brand perception going forward. It can't be cheap to hire A-list talent like Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, for its new ad campaign for the 2015 MKC crossover, but the company is showing that it's serious about the new vehicle and its future. The first three of these five commercials are just hitting YouTube, and they begin airing on television on September 6.
The Live in Your Moment campaign is all about Lincoln trying to sell not just the MKC to customers but also explain the brand's philosophy. It's one of the oldest luxury automakers around, but hasn't exactly had a glorious history, especially recently. Based on these first ads, we can see that there's a definite focus on philosophizing rather than focusing on the crossover. At times, McConaughey seems just a mustache and a mangled beer can away from reprising his role from True Detective.
The first ad (above) is simply titled Intro and sets the mood and concept for the whole campaign. Bull has McConaughey talking to a longhorn in the middle of a road, and I Just Like It has him explaining his affinity for the brand. Lincoln's full release is available below, and you can view the other ads by flipping through the playlist in the video player above.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
