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.

50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China

Tue, Dec 5 2017

SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."

Lincoln Aviator's Air Glide Adaptive Suspension knows when it'll hit potholes

Mon, Jul 22 2019

Lincoln is set to release its all-new three-row 2020 Aviator this summer. It will become the fifth SUV in Lincoln's lineup and the second-most expensive of the bunch, behind its Navigator big brother. One of the vehicle's stand-out features is the available Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview, which adjusts to the road using cameras and sensors. Lincoln detailed the modern tech in a new video seen above.  Selling vehicles in the luxury space requires various impressive characteristics, but above all, the most important might be the ride. Engineers design everything to maintain a comfortable experience, and today, the preparation for rough roads doesn't stop in the development and production facilities. Modern technology allows cars adapt to the surfaces they're driving on rather than applying a one-size-fits-all setup to all roads.  The 2020 Lincoln Aviator will use Air Glide Suspension and Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview in attempts to provide the best ride possible. The Air Glide Suspension uses air springs instead of coil springs, and the air bladders will stiffen or soften based on the road conditions, driving speed, and drive mode.  The Adaptive Suspension uses 12 sensors placed throughout the vehicle to monitor all sorts of vehicle conditions. It collects information on body motion, steering, acceleration, and braking and adjusts accordingly. Lincoln says the system reads the road about 500 times per second and can change settings up to 100 times per second. For example, the Aviator will know when a pothole is incoming and will stiffen the shock absorber to reduce the harshness of the hit. Road Preview, which uses a built-in forward-facing camera near the rearview mirror, helps understand the road up to 50 feet ahead and aids in informing the adaptive suspension of incoming bumps between two to eight inches.  Buyers interested in the Aviator will be able to choose between two powertrains: a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 or a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 hybrid. The Standard model starts at $52,840, while the Black Label Grand Touring starts at $89,540. Look for the Aviator to pop up at dealerships soon. 

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.
