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.

2016 Lincoln MKX spied in production form

Wed, Dec 17 2014

We're getting our first quality look at the next-generation Lincoln MKX in production guise thanks to these fresh spy shots, and they suggest styling that hews very closely to the concept from earlier this year. Compared to the showcar, the headlights aren't quite as well integrated into the grille, but these LED units still attempt to nicely wrap the split-wing grille across the entire face of the vehicle. Beyond that, the two vehicles quite similar, though. The shape of the lower air dam is practically identical – just with some extra plastic for the production version. The hint of a character line running down the side also makes the resemblance easy to spot, despite this tester's polka-dot camouflage. At the rear, the taillights stretch across the hatch with integrated exhaust outlets below. Even the twin-spoke wheels are comparable to the concept. Also, look carefully at these spy shots, and you can notice Lincoln apparently testing two different trims. One has LED headlights with front and rear parking sensors (pictured above), and the other shows projector lights with the sensors only at the rear. The next-gen MKX will launch in 2015 and will be the first model in Lincoln's lineup to benefit from the deal with Harman to use its high-end Revel audio system. Check out the gallery to get a mildly camouflaged sneak preview of the company's future luxury crossover.

Honda, Volvo, Lincoln are North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The Detroit Auto Show has officially kicked off, as it always does, with the announcement of the North American Car, Utility Vehicle and Truck of the Year winners. For 2018, those are the Honda Accord, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator, respectively. The Honda Accord beat out two other finalists, the Toyota Camry and the new Kia Stinger. The Accord stood out for its styling, drivability and standard equipment. The Volvo XC60 came out ahead of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda Odyssey minivan. It was chosen for its luxury, ride and value when equipped well. The Lincoln Navigator, a heavily updated model that remained true to the concept car on which it was based, beat the Ford Expedition, as well as the only pickup in the list, the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (which was a finalist for Autoblog's own Technology of the Year Award). NACTOY juror Ron Sessions complimented the "more dramatic update" compared to the Expedition. "With its design now aligned with the Continental, the Navigator becomes an even more important image — and the profit-maker for Lincoln," he said. The NACTOY Awards have been around since 1994. A panel of 60 judges, all automotive journalists, whittle the list down to three finalists in each category before announcing the winners in January. The Utility Vehicle category was added for 2017.

Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln

Sat, Jan 3 2015

The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.
