Selling my garage-kept 1968 Lincoln Continental with an original 47,333 mi. in the color Belmont Green with green leather interior. Lots of options, many of them rare. Everything is original except for having installed a Pertronix II setup a recent basic tune up. Does have air conditioning but it doesn't work at this time (I know it at least will need recharge, I've never turned it on).
It was a Minnesota and Iowa car until I brought it down to Georgia. It does not seem to have the telltale signs of having been driven much, if at all, in the winter/rain and the previous owner's father (who was the original owner) only drove it on occasion. I only drove it on sunny days here in the ATL. I did plan on a complete paint job, though, as it does have some rust in the typical spots - but it looks to be surface rust.
Sale includes a spare MEL 462 engine and associated transmission from a 1967 Lincoln Continental, both of which were rebuilt in the late 80's. The engine was running about a year ago but I do not have the equipment to run it to demonstrate - it turns. Also comes with all of the parts you see in the trunk which include a case of oil, a Motorcraft filter, a new timing chain and sprocket, new pushrods, a set of new belts, a new high-volume oil pump and associated gaskets. You also you see the Pertronix box inside of which is the original points/coil. I also include a cover that fits the car perfectly (not shown in photos). I also have a spare front passenger door from the same car the aforementioned engine/tranny came from. I can bubble wrap that and throw it in the trunk for you (it's heavy as sin though). Perhaps you may want that...
The car will not change hands until payment has cleared. Happy to deliver the car, engine, and transmission to you within a 100-mi radius of my house for free. Delivery of the engine will not include the engine stand. Any further than 100 mi. and I'll charge a fee. Delivery by me is at my convenience and will most likely be only on a Sunday.
By the way, the tires are pretty much new (maybe 2,500 miles on them) and the tie rods have been replaced. Yes, it does have a spare tire and the original tire jack kit. No rust on the truck lid (a common problem).
Please see video on YouTube (http://youtu.be/9XTopyw1KZk) (you'll have to copy/paste that link) and photos and let me know if you have any questions. Happy to take photos by request.
If you want to ship the vehicle using a vehicle shipping service, I'm happy to be there for the driver but I can't arrange or pay for shipping for you. I'm nearby Atlanta and off of a major truck route from Florida to the north (I-75) so I'd imagine it wouldn't been all that hard to get the car shipped. It was about $375 for me to ship it from Iowa to Georgia but I can't guarantee that price.
Know that, as with ALL car sales, this is an as-is sale. If you purchase the car sight unseen, you are purchasing an unrestored classic Lincoln in great shape for its age that gets compliments every time it sees the light of day and has won a couple "top 5"-type trophies at local car shows. So long as you pay for the required shipping, you'll also get a spare engine and tranny at no additional cost. Plus all the other parts you see in the trunk. It, like any car, has its issues and I have expressed in the video the issues that I am aware of. I'm not trying to screw people, but do not come back to me whining about something I didn't mention and apparently should have known about (because I'm apparently some know-it-all of every tidbit of everything) - it's a 45 year old car and it needs someone to love it. I'm selling it because, while I do love it, I won't be able to "love, love" it (do all the work I want to do to it) for a couple years and I thought maybe someone might have the time now for it. I've seen 5 year old cars in terrible shape - this is a really great original Lincoln that you can work on, drive, and still enjoy over time - it ain't no rust bucket POS junk missing key parts. So let's not play that "I want money from you because..." game... it's not happening. Again, this is an as-is unrestored classic car purchase - there are no refunds, no partial refunds, no warranty, and no whining.
Viewings will be scheduled and at a location convenient to me, not where the car is stored for security. I'm happy to meet you at the ATL airport with the car if the meeting is at a convenient time for me.

Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up
Tue, 12 Feb 2013Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.
Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.
Wed, May 9 2018BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford — as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz — had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
Lincoln Aviator concept takes a shine to Shinola
Mon, Aug 2 2021At the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Lincoln is displaying a special Aviator concept that was created in collaboration with the Detroit-based Shinola brand of watches and accessories. The SUV features unique exterior design elements, but the most eye-catching aspects are found in the cabin. The interior is awash in Shinola's whiskey-colored leather, which for once in an automobile actually looks like real cowhide. The rich, brown hue contrasts sharply with off-white cloth seat inserts and more off-white on the dash and door panels. Tying the two colors together is a neat center stripe on the seats that is another Shinola signature design element. The dash and center console also are adorned with a metal mesh trim, said to be inspired by Shinola watch bands. The exterior, meanwhile, is finished in pearl white, similar to Shinola's mother of pearl watch faces. The wheels and grille insert are matte copper. For now, the Aviator Shinola concept is just a design exercise. But a good portion of the Lincoln brand's recent comeback can be attributed to its emphasis on interior design, and specifically, an imaginative use of color and materials. So, we could see Lincoln making a collaboration like this official. After all, they've done it before. A Shinola Aviator is just the hipper, modern version of the same idea that sold the Continental Mark V back in the day, as the commercial below reminds us. This content is hosted by a third party.
