1976 Lincoln Continental Base Hardtop 4-door 7.5l on 2040-cars
Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
1976 Lincoln Continental for sale
I purchased this car with the intention of doing a survivor restoration and just cleaning it up, unfortunately funding is no longer there for the project. I have recently began starting to strip the roof to finish it and paint it, the car is registered and runs and drives. To pass inspection it will require some work at this point. The motor is a 460 and is running strong with a little tuning of the carb. Good: Body is straight just needs to be smoothed and painted properly Engine is running, carb needs a bit of tuning. The top of intake and carb have been replaced over the winter. It is a Weiand Stealth with an Edelbrock 750cfm Drive train is solid Interior is in usable condition, not perfect but for an unrestored car its decent. Just needs a good cleaning. Both mini vent windows are working and I have spare glass for the passenger vent window All lenses are in good shape and hide away lights are working correctly Frame and floors are solid Bad: Small transmission fluid leak Small gas leak No exhaust on the car (removed to replace it just never got to it) Requires body work around roof Drivers side window trim broke when removing all other window trim is there Missing passenger front fender trim Power seat controls are flaky, seat motor is working though I am looking to get $1700 or BO for the car as is. It can be driven home and has a new battery in it that will go with the car. I am moving soon and will entertain all reasonable offers at this point. This is a great project that will not take too much to get into nice condition to make a cruiser out of. It will also be a great parts car for anyone who owns another one of these. The drive train alone is almost worth my asking price. I am looking to move this quicking |

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
