Here is a huge, massive 1977 Lincoln Town Coupe.  It's a Town car, but a 2 Door.  Rare, luxurious, and as big as they came.  19' 5" to be pretty close.  Weighing almost 5000 pounds, it's a big solid chunk of a car.  If you Google "1977 Lincoln Town Coupe", you'll get several people's opinion of it, it's ride, and of it's reliability.  They all mention the good and the bad, but one thing is in common with all of them, it's a plush, comfortable ride that is bigger than most anything out there.

It is very original and complete.  There looks to be a lot of original paint on it.  The right front fender appears to have been repainted, but I don't see any signs of a collision, so who knows why.  The power windows, including the power vent windows, all work.  The door locks try really hard to work, and sometimes they do.  The factory stereo makes noise and functions, but makes a humming noise.  I never turned it on and let it warm up, so who knows, it may get better.

The gauges all seem to work.  The speedometer doesn't have a needle like a regular car, so it's just cool all on it's own.  All of the lights, headlight doors, wipers, and so on all work.  The big 460 starts easily, idles well, and has a ton of torque.  It moves the car along nicely.  It's like a living room on wheels.  A living room that will smoke it's tires that is!

Since I bought it at a collector car auction in March, all I know is that if came from an estate sale.  The title shows 82,000 actual miles as of 2/01/2002.  As you can see, not a lot of time on the road in the past 10 + years. 

Mechanically, I would call it great.  Smooth, powerful, and will probably not need a thing anytime soon except for tires.  They are old and ugly, but still hold air.  I have driven about 70 miles on them locally, and had no intentions of changing them.  I assumed the next buyer would put some big crazy wheels on it, so I didn't bother.  The battery is weak, but if you start it every few days, it's fine.  The AC doesn't work, but you might get lucky and all it needs is a recharge. I'm sure a tune up and general maintenance stuff wouldn't hurt, but you don't HAVE TO do anything.

The low fuel light works, and I know that because I ran out of gas after I took the pictures.  It was raining, and I was trying to hurry...so if you're curious...it has a working gas gauge and light, but it helps to look at them occasionally. 

It's being sold at NO RESERVE.  Winning bidder will own it, so only serious bidders please.  If you want to see it, hear it run, or drive it...please make sure to BEFORE the auction ends. I reserve the right to end the auction in the event the car sells to a local buyer, or if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.  If you're into gigantic American cars from the 70's, please look at my other auction for a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.  Believe it or not, as big as it is, it's still smaller than this Lincoln. 

Florida buyers will be required to pay sales tax on the winning price, and any title/registration fees at the DMV rate.  I do not charge a fee or mark anything up.  

 Out of state and out of country buyers only pay the winning bid. Good luck and Happy Bidding.

This car is located in Port Charlotte, FL.  I can assist with shipping if you need help, but it will be at the buyers expense.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014



Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
