1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car. This is an absolutely rust-free, garaged Southwest car in very good condition. 104,544 original miles. 400ci engine runs smooth, burns no oil. Transmission shifts smooth, brakes are good. All gauges and lights work correctly. Most functions work like they should with a few minor exceptions. Rear left door lock actuator does not work. A/C blows ice cold at idle or low rpm but quits blowing out the panel vents at 1/3rd throttle and switches to defrost under hard throttle. A/C compressor is good, no leaks – properly converted to R134. There is only one tiny crack in the dash on the extreme left corner that makes me think it was an impact, not sun damage. As with all 70’s Lincolns, the 6-way power seat switches work intermittently or not at all in some directions – the drivers seat goes back and forth with no problems. The Cartier clock keeps time. A woman in El Paso, Texas originally purchased the car. She drove it for many years and then parked it in her garage for many more years until her passing. Her son-in-law then sold it to a man in Las Cruces, NM who appreciated the comfort for a long commute to work. He enjoyed the cruiser until it developed an intermittent ignition problem and he sold the car to me. I replaced the ignition switch and that fixed the problem. I also had the car painted with all trim removed because it looked like the car had served as a storage shelf in the past. There was no serious body damage and there is no filler in the car aside from smoothing out a few dings. All of the trim was polished before reinstalling with new clips on the car. There is no pitting in the chrome and all the glass is very good. The front bumper is a replacement as the original had a bad dent. The replacement bumper is pretty good but not perfect. The interior is in very nice condition. The red velour seats and carpets still have deep color, no rips, tears or burns. The windows all work well, the radio works properly and even the 8-track plays without eating tapes. There are 2 small tears in the headliner above the backseat, included is a big piece of matching headliner material for repair. The trunk key has been lost to time, but the car has optional trunk release in the glove box. I installed new shocks, a fresh battery, replaced the ignition switch and changed the oil. Other than those items, I have done no mechanical work on the car, it would probably benefit from a tune up. The car is overall, very clean. This is a ’77 though it wears ’78 rear fender skirts. Apparently the car suffered a blowout on the rear left that tore up the original fender skirt. It also damaged the rear bracket so the solution was just bolt in ’78 skirts. I strive to be as honest and clear about the condition of the cars I sell on eBay. Please ask any questions you may have for informed bidding. I generally post all questions. The reserve is reasonable; bid to win. |

2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring brings plug-in hybrid tech to the small crossover
Wed, Nov 20 2019LOS ANGELES — When the new Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair were launched, the Corsair was strangely lacking a hybrid variant like the cheaper Ford. The reason for this is that Lincoln was preparing a slightly more advanced hybrid for the small luxury crossover. The 2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring elevates itself over the Ford by bringing plug-in capability and a different kind of all-wheel drive. At the front of the Corsair, the powertrain is the same as the Ford Escape. It's a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-4 and an electric motor powering the front wheels. But at the back, Lincoln has added another electric motor with a single-speed transmission to power the rear wheels, just like Toyota has been doing in the all-wheel-drive versions of the Toyota Prius, RAV4 Hybrid and Lexus UX250h. In addition to giving the Corsair four driven wheels, it brings total horsepower up to 266 ponies, an increase of 66 over the Ford. Having this rear motor opens up lots of freedom for how much power is given to the rear wheels, and a Lincoln representative said that the rear can go into a coasting or free-wheeling state when cruising for efficiency. Supplying electricity to the Corsair Grand Touring is a floor-mounted 14.4-kWh battery pack. Lincoln estimates it will provide enough power for the Corsair to drive about 26 miles on a charge. Neither the battery nor the rear motor take up any interior space, so rear passenger and cargo capacity remain the same as the regular Corsair. Charging can be done at Level 1 or Level 2 chargers, with the former taking 10 to 11 hours and the latter taking 3 to 4 hours. DC fast charging is not available, something that's featured on the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Hybrid mechanical bits aside, the Corsair Grand Touring is just like any other Corsair. The only indicators that it's a hybrid are the unique grille, 20-inch wheels, blue badging and additional door for the charging plug. The Grand Touring comes standard with Lincoln's cell-phone key system, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist and automatic high-beams. Automatic parking, a head-up display and adaptive cruise control are all options. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but will likely revealed closer to the on-sale date in the summer of 2020. Looking at the price structure for the Aviator, which also has a Grand Touring plug-in hybrid variant, the Corsair Grand Touring could be priced above the current range-topping Reserve trim.
Is this the production version of the Lincoln Zephyr concept?
Fri, Sep 24 2021Lincoln stepped out of the sedan segment when it ended production of the Continental in late 2020, but it's already planning a comeback. Leaked patent images suggest that the stylish Zephyr concept unveiled at the Shanghai show earlier in 2021 is well on its way to production. Uncovered by Japan's Sun News, the sketches show the outline of an elegant-looking sedan whose proportions match the Zephyr's almost perfectly. It's a three-box sedan with a long wheelbase and an almost fastback-like roof line. Some details tell us we're not merely looking at renderings of the concept, like more realistic headlights, redesigned air intakes in the front bumper, bigger door mirrors, and a reshaped rear bumper. These are the changes we'd expect Lincoln to make in order to turn the concept (pictured below) into a car it can build and sell. Lincoln Zephyr Reflection View 5 Photos Powertrain specifications were not leaked, though we're guessing the sedan will use turbocharged engines sourced from the Ford parts bin. Similarly, we don't know what it looks like inside; the concept's cabin featured a two-spoke steering wheel and an extra-wide screen. Just like the exterior design, the interior was futuristic enough to earn the "concept" label but not to the point where building it wouldn't be feasible. Lincoln hasn't commented on the patent images, but it has already confirmed plans to turn the Zephyr into a production car. The model is scheduled to make its official debut later in 2021, though there's a catch: It will exclusively be sold (and presumably built) in China. As of writing, nothing suggests the firm will add another sedan to its lineup in the United States, where demand for low-riding cars has crashed.

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.
