NR 1973 Lincoln Continental 59,988 miles.  NOT RUNNING

This is a no reserve auction.  ANY QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE BIDDING!

Here's the story:

Car turns over fine.  Not getting spark.

I bought the car 2 years ago with plans of restoring it.  Other than doing a little body work not much has happened.  Earlier this summer I started tinkering under the hood.  

When I bought the Lincoln the guy had put in new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points.  
 
I put in a charged up battery, put some fresh gas.  No go.  So I replaced the coil.  Still no spark.
 
I really hate to sell this but currently it is just sitting in my yard, under a car cover.
 
The floors and frame are great.  The body has some rust here and there, nothing really serious.  Vinyl top is shot.

I have the hub caps off and fender skirts off and in the car.
 
I have the title.
 
The Lincoln was last inspected in 1995.
 
My plans were to restore.  My father had one of these, almost exactly like this one, when I was a small child and I always wanted his to be my first car.  Of course - time had its way and that Lincoln (known as the Green Meanie) and it was parked and become history.

I have no other info.  I'm not a mechanic.  You can feel free to ask question, and I'll answer those I know the answers to.  

Things happen and I don't know when I'll have any $ to put into this beauty.  She deserves much more than napping under a car cover in my back yard./>



PAYMENT
I accept payment via PayPal.  If paying via PayPal - I require a non refundable $500 depost.  If you want to pay cash upon pick up, this must be discussed prior to bidding.  Full payment due 48hrs after auctions end.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

2015 Lincoln Navigator

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Typically, when I approach a new vehicle launch, it's with a degree of optimism. Nowadays, we just expect that every new vehicle will pose a legitimate challenge to segment leaders. Mid-cycle refreshes, meanwhile, have taken on a greater degree of importance, as customers' preferences for the freshest vehicles remains strong and automakers rush to keep the latest tech in their offerings.
Conversely, I admit to not being terribly optimistic hopping into the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I was the first person from Autoblog to see the new model in the metal, way back in January ahead of its Chicago Auto Show debut, and my initial reaction was far from positive. But, as I'd been the one that initially tested the new Cadillac Escalade and had just finished a week in the long-wheelbase version of General Motors' most premium SUV, I was a natural candidate to head down to Louisville, KY - home of Navigator production - to sample the brand's latest.
Lincoln's attempt at freshening the old Navigator's bling-bling face is pretty typical of today's more thorough mid-cycle refreshes, with dramatically new front and rear clips. The addition of standard 20-inch wheels or optional 22s - in place of standard 18s and optional 20s - goes a long way towards modernizing the Navigator's staid exterior. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to finer leather, which covers most of the dash as well as the steering wheel and seats. Warm Ziricote wood would prove to be a particular highlight on the top-flight Reserve model that I drove (the only trim available for us to test).

New Lincoln Nautilus teased with massive interior screens

Fri, Apr 14 2023

The next-generation Lincoln Nautilus is officially slated for reveal on Monday, April 17, according to a teaser video just released on Lincoln’s social media channels. LincolnÂ’s mid-size two-row SUV is definitely due for a big update, and one look at the teaser suggests weÂ’re getting exactly that. Instead of giving us a glimpse of the exterior, Lincoln trained the camera inside. The video appears to be of a welcome lighting sequence played over multiple massive screens, starting on a central infotainment screen and then transitioning to additional displays further up on the dashboard. The pattern of dancing light then appears to reach out of the screen and onto the door panels where strips of physical LED lights are “lit” by the light transitioning from the screens.

The whole sequence is rather dramatic, but it allows us a glimpse of whatÂ’s happening inside the new Nautilus. For one, the interior is chock-full of screens. The giant display on the dash appears to stretch from one pillar to another, so weÂ’re looking at a full-width display. An oddly shaped steering wheel can be seen by the light of the screen — it looks more square than round, as the top portion is cut off. Below those top screens, a regular-looking infotainment screen is put front and center. We canÂ’t see much else, but the NautilusÂ’ reveal is coming soon enough, so look out for a debut on Monday next week. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
