For Auction is a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car.  This car is very good shape with original paint, engine, and all trim.  I have driven this car for about a year and love to drive it.  It runs very well and glides down the street.  I get a lot of comments from people of all ages.  It really does catch attention.  


The car was bought brand new and owned locally for the first 30 years of its life.  Then it was purchased by someone that wanted to just have it for a cruiser, but never took it out to cruise.  I have had it now for about 15 months.  The car has been taken care of and still runs great.

The GOOD!

Everything works.  8 track, AM/FM Stereo, power antenna, power windows, power seats, cruise control, vacuum power head light covers (both open on close, no winking), rear defroster, heater, wipers, inside side mirror adjustments.  All exterior and interior lights work.  The only option that is not currently fully working is the A/C.  The compressor was changed at some point and a switch was inserted under the dash.  The belt has been removed.  The compressor works, but I believe it needs to be charged.

The engine runs very well for its age.  It should have a tune up and could use some carb work done to it.  I have only ever changed out a coolant hose since I have owned it.

The transmission is great.  There is no slipping and it shifts very nicely.

Tires are almost brand new and it comes with a matching spare that has never been used.  

All the glass is in good shape with no chips or cracks.  

Paint still shines with the exception of the hood area.

All chrome and stainless is in good shape and will shine nicely.

The NOT SO GOOD...

Paint is thin on the hood and trunk areas.  Not bad yet, but noticeable.

The vinyl half top has some hail damage to it.  You can see it in the pictures.

There are a few places where paint has chipped off, but has not rusted.  Namely on the fender skirts.

The front bumper has a dent in it.  It was there when I bought it...I have no idea how it came to be.

The back bumper has a dent in it.  I put it there.  The car is long so backing up can be a challenge in a tight spot when a pole jumps out behind you.

There is an area where the paint has been rubbed off by the passenger side tail light.  I believe this happened when someone was not paying attention and they grazed the car with their bumper backing out of the next parking spot.  Like I said...the car is very long.

Carb work as mentioned above.  It is hard on gas...about 8 miles to the gallon.  When it is warm it will diesel a little bit.  It starts again right away..but I have never had time to have it looked at.

There is dual exhaust on this car.  This car never came with catalytic converters so there are none.  Both mufflers need to be replaced.  One is completely blown out. (it set the car alarm off on the car sitting next to me).  The pipes are in good shape but they are not shiney new.  As far as I have seen they are not loose nor full of rust holes.

The interior is leather and is cracked in places, but over all it would clean up nicely.  The headliner is nice is tight.

**There is no body rust on this car!!!!

I have included some pictures.  If you want something specific, just let me know.  

PayPal only.  Auction price does not include a reserve and does include shipping or transport charges.  

Please ask any and all questions before bidding.

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand

Thu, Jun 8 2017

Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

We test Lincoln's 20-speaker Revel Ultima stereo with a rock star

Fri, Aug 26 2016

If there's two things Detroiters know, it's music and cars. So when Lincoln approached us with big claims about their latest stereo system, the Revel Ultima System, we sought out a veteran of the Motor City music scene to test it out. First unveiled at the 2015 Detroit International Auto Show in the Lincoln MKX, Revel is bringing its bumping bass to the 2017 Lincoln MKZ. We had Dick Valentine, lead singer of Electric Six and favorite son of Detroit, try out the 20-speaker, 1200-watt system. If you want it on your MKZ, Revel Ultima is part of the $4,400 Luxury Package. Electric Six is perhaps most famous for its early hit, Gay Bar, and the music video filled with shirtless Abe Lincolns in the White House. Since their debut release, Fire, E6 has backed up a regular touring schedule with ten more studio albums, both a live album and live DVD, and an upcoming quasi-reality film titled Roulette Stars of Metro Detroit. We met up with Valentine on the set of the Roulette Stars to explore the depths of his sardonic wit that oozes through every E6 song. Lincoln says that Revel is the best in the biz. And we'll admit, the stats are impressive. But are 20 speakers and marketing terms like Quantum Logic Surround Technology, Clari-Fi Technology and Point Source Architecture enough to impress a Detroit legend? Valentine knows a little something about sound. As the lead singer and frontman of the Electric Six, he's spent over twenty years hearing his tunes played through speakers. While Valentine hasn't owned a car in a while, he does have opinions on jamming inside of them. We played songs from the band's latest album Bitch, Don't Let Me Die to see if Revel truly delivers on it's bold claims. Related Video: Celebrities Lincoln Ownership music audio sound system
