Glenwood Landing, New York, United States

 This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Please, I ask that you not bid unless you fully intend on purchasing this vehicle.

I acquired this car in July of this year with 65,200 miles. Since then, it has traveled 5300 miles with ZERO mechanical problems. There are a couple of issues that I will go over later in this post. Lets start now with the positives!

  • I am the second owner of this Lincoln. The first owner resided in PA.
  • The air suspension is original, along with all front end components. It's tight as a drum on the highway and there is ZERO play in the steering. When I had a set of 18' polished Bullitts, this car handled like it was on rails! Truly remarkable what a set of tires could do for handling performance of such a large car! Not once has the suspension been a concern. It has stayed up for weeks on end while in the garage. It also lowers as it should on the highway when you are cruising at speeds in excess of 60 MPH, and raises itself when back onto local road speeds.
  • Air conditioning is in great working order as well. The car remained comfortably COOL even in temps reaching 115 degrees. YES, YOU READ CORRECTLY! We did have temps that reached 115 in NYC this past summer
  • Interior door panels, switches, CUP HOLDERS (I know lots of people ask about this one all the time), and other items look and work as they should.


Does it qualify for classic insurance?

  • YES IT DOES! I currently pay $120 a year for full coverage at $7000 in agreed value. I will refer you to the company that I do business with if you wish. I have 3 Lincolns currently with them! 

What needs attention:

  • Tilt steering recently decided it wanted to work, then didn't want to work again. It is stuck in the downward position...This really didn't bother me because thats where I like it any time I drive. My fiance drove the car recently and we discovered it was not working. . THE TELESCOPIC PORTION DOES WORK!
  • The blend door actuator will need to be replaced in order to get heat. There is a work around for it I am told. However, I am FAR FROM HANDY so I have never attempted to fix it. It never really bothered me since I drive the car when the weather permits anyhow. 
  • Chrome on the grille is peeling
  • Mechanic stated that the lower control arm bushings need to be done


This is a very clean original driver that you can enjoy without worrying about driving it anywhere. I've taken it a few times to Mohegan sun, and to Atlantic city. Wherever the car goes, it usually tends to get compliments!

In closing, I encourage you to see the car for yourself prior to bidding, and I am more than willing to go to any mechanics that are local. There is nothing for me to hide, she is a fantastic car!!!! We are selling this because we need to lease a new SUV for our baby coming up in May. We are excited, and unfortunately, toys need to go!

Please contact me at 718-865-7599 with any questions at all =)

Thanks, and happy bidding!!!!

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.

Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
