1979 Lincoln Continental Base Hardtop 4-door 6.6l No Reserve on 2040-cars
Fargo, North Dakota, United States
|
I have owned this Lincoln for about 17 years and bought it from the second owner who had owned it since 1980. He was VERY old, but claimed that the 48,000 miles at the time were original (I have no way to know if this is true or if it is 550,000, but the car is pretty nice and has not been repainted) The odometer now shows 51,071. It has been stored amongst my collection in dry heated storage since I bought the car. This is an all original car inside and out. As seen in the pictures it does have some rust, but is not a rust bucket. I photographed the worst sections of rust, (one rear door jamb and one rear fender) none of the other door jambs have considerable rust as one does. Otherwise the paint still retains a great gloss and looks spectacular going down the road. The original painted pinstripes are still intact in in good shape overall. Bumpers and bright work are shiny and nice. Glass is all good. The interior is virtually flawless with light blue velour seats, an uncracked dash, good wood grain trim, clean door panels with no cracks or tears in armrests or pulls. Original floor mats and carpets are both in great shape. I installed an am/fm/cd player with remote under the dash without any cutting or drilling whatsoever. All power windows work (including power vents), power locks work except the driver door which needs an actuator, power seats work, air conditioning blows cold, cruise control works, brakes are great, all gauges work, power trunk release works, illuminated entry works, wipers work. This is an outstanding driver-quality car which is always a kick at cruise-in car shows. Car starts and runs great and drives quiet and straight like a Lincoln should! I would drive the car anywhere and am selling because it gets driven so seldom. It has, however, been started and driven sparingly on a regular basis to prevent the seals from shrinking and leaking. Please feel free to message with any questions, or call John at 701-729-6839. NO RESERVE

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
AOL Autos' associate editor Peter Bigelow went deeper in his criticism. Have a read: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is A Flop.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
