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. |

Lincoln Sync 3 Infotainment Review | Clean and eminently usable
Tue, Sep 22 2020Many of the newer Lincoln products might be vastly different in design and experience than their Ford counterparts, but infotainment software is still heavily shared between the two brands. That said, Lincoln has made a great effort to make its version of Sync 3 feel more upmarket and premium compared to Ford’s. If you can think of it in terms of Android smartphones, Sync 3 in Ford vehicles is like stock Google software. Sync 3 in Lincoln products is akin to SamsungÂ’s UI, which amounts to a totally new look and added features. The core interface remains the same across the two brands. LincolnÂ’s snazzy new look can be customized with a few different color combinations, but they generally all consist of muted tones that exude old-world luxury more than the heavy-handed blue hues on Ford's version of Sync. One convenient commonality between the two is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, both of which require wired connections. Some may find the functionality of the Apple/Android interfaces to be compromised as detailed in our Ford Escape interior driveway test). Sync 3 has a bottom bar of quick toggle, commonly-used apps, and a Home button in the top left corner. It makes getting to any particular set of menus quick and painless. Squared-off icons are used within menus with large font and intuitive scrolling functionality. There are no redundant scroll wheels or touchpads to control the screen interface in any of LincolnÂ’s vehicles, so youÂ’ll need to be comfortable with a touchscreen. Thankfully, there are hard buttons on the dash for the climate controls and common audio functions. Lincoln Sync 3 Infotainment View 10 Photos In the Lincoln Navigator weÂ’re using to demonstrate the technology, Sync 3 is smooth and generally free of hiccups. However, itÂ’s not infallible and tablet-smooth as plodding through BMWÂ’s or MercedesÂ’ latest infotainment systems is. Lincoln uses Sync 3 on all of its current models, and in the Navigator, itÂ’s playing on a large 10-inch screen. The added luxury features for Lincolns tends to dictate all of the extras you see in the software. There are settings for a vast array of ambient lighting, hugely complex seat controls (for the 30-way massaging seats) and a number of customization options for the excellent Revel audio system (optional). Lincoln differentiates itself even further with the fully digital instrument cluster flanking the big screen.
Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022
Tue, Nov 15 2022Related: Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022 Â Every year, Consumer Reports ranks new cars based on their predicted reliability. We often see Toyota, Lexus, and a few other automakers near the top. But on the other side of the coin, the list of least reliable vehicles sometimes contains surprises. Â The organization surveys its members to determine the vehicles that exhibited the most problems over the prior year. Owners are asked about creaks and rattles, the durability of parts and trim, and mechanical issues. Consumer Reports assigns a weight to each problem and then uses them to create a score, with 100 being the best. Some familiar names appear on the list of least reliable vehicles (in order with the lowest predicted reliability score at the top), but there are a few eyebrow-raising models, followed by CR's score: Ford F-150 Hybrid: 4 Hyundai Kona Electric: 5 Lincoln Aviator: 8 Nissan Sentra: 9 Ford Explorer: 16 Chevrolet Bolt: 17 Chevrolet Silverado 1500/GMC Sierra 1500: 19 Jeep Gladiator: 21 Mercedes-Benz GLE: 23 Jeep Wrangler: 24 Consumer Reports noted that sedans are the most reliable vehicle category and found that trucks are far lower on the list. That said, the survey showed that trucks from American brands tended to have better reliability scores, so it’s surprising to see GMÂ’s big two and the Ford F-150 on the list. Part of their problematic ownership experience could be due to the fact that all three trucks have received recent updates, and the Ford was completely redesigned for 2022. New tech, fresh drivetrain components, and other improvements can upset the balance of reliability and make newer models look less dependable than their older counterparts.
