1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car. This is an absolutely rust-free, garaged Southwest car in very good condition. 104,544 original miles. 400ci engine runs smooth, burns no oil. Transmission shifts smooth, brakes are good. All gauges and lights work correctly. Most functions work like they should with a few minor exceptions. Rear left door lock actuator does not work. A/C blows ice cold at idle or low rpm but quits blowing out the panel vents at 1/3rd throttle and switches to defrost under hard throttle. A/C compressor is good, no leaks – properly converted to R134. There is only one tiny crack in the dash on the extreme left corner that makes me think it was an impact, not sun damage. As with all 70’s Lincolns, the 6-way power seat switches work intermittently or not at all in some directions – the drivers seat goes back and forth with no problems. The Cartier clock keeps time. A woman in El Paso, Texas originally purchased the car. She drove it for many years and then parked it in her garage for many more years until her passing. Her son-in-law then sold it to a man in Las Cruces, NM who appreciated the comfort for a long commute to work. He enjoyed the cruiser until it developed an intermittent ignition problem and he sold the car to me. I replaced the ignition switch and that fixed the problem. I also had the car painted with all trim removed because it looked like the car had served as a storage shelf in the past. There was no serious body damage and there is no filler in the car aside from smoothing out a few dings. All of the trim was polished before reinstalling with new clips on the car. There is no pitting in the chrome and all the glass is very good. The front bumper is a replacement as the original had a bad dent. The replacement bumper is pretty good but not perfect. The interior is in very nice condition. The red velour seats and carpets still have deep color, no rips, tears or burns. The windows all work well, the radio works properly and even the 8-track plays without eating tapes. There are 2 small tears in the headliner above the backseat, included is a big piece of matching headliner material for repair. The trunk key has been lost to time, but the car has optional trunk release in the glove box. I installed new shocks, a fresh battery, replaced the ignition switch and changed the oil. Other than those items, I have done no mechanical work on the car, it would probably benefit from a tune up. The car is overall, very clean. This is a ’77 though it wears ’78 rear fender skirts. Apparently the car suffered a blowout on the rear left that tore up the original fender skirt. It also damaged the rear bracket so the solution was just bolt in ’78 skirts. I strive to be as honest and clear about the condition of the cars I sell on eBay. Please ask any questions you may have for informed bidding. I generally post all questions. The reserve is reasonable; bid to win. |

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
2020 Lincoln Corsair spied inside and out, ready to replace the MKC
Fri, Feb 22 2019Last year we were told the Lincoln MKC crossover would be renamed the Lincoln Corsair for the 2020 model year. A full exterior and interior redesign is on its way to go with the name change, one we get to see up close and personal here. We were led to believe that the Corsair would take its design cues from the handsome three-row Aviator SUV. That sentiment rings true for the exterior and interior as we take a look at these first spy shots of the smallest Lincoln crossover. The silhouette of the Corsair is near spot-on that of the Aviator's — it's smaller in every way, but styling elements like the grille, taillights, tapered rear window and overhanging spoiler all scream Aviator. Even the wheels look ripped straight from a lower-spec Aviator. We think that's great, because the Aviator is one hell of a looker now that all the camouflage has been stripped off it. Lincoln is bringing its new interior styling to the small crossover too, it appears. The shots we get to see here show that this won't even come close to resembling its redesigned Escape sibling on the inside. Instead, we're feeling Navigator and Aviator vibes all over. The big screen perched on top, chrome everywhere and classy appearance is reassuring; any concern over seeing a Lincoln version of a Ford on the inside should be wiped away with these photos. This interior looks like it's ready for the showroom floor, too. We're thinking you'll likely be able to buy one before the year is done. A report earlier this week shed some light on possible powertrain options we could see on this crossover related to the Ford Escape. A 2.0-liter Ecoboost engine is likely to be the base option, while the 2.3-liter Ecoboost will remain as an upgrade. The possibility of a plug-in hybrid version looms, though. With the Lincoln Aviator going that route, an electrified option for the smaller crossover could prove appealing for some buyers not wanting to pony up for the big Aviator. A reveal for this crossover should be coming soon at this rate, possibly even at the N.Y. Auto Show in April this year. Related video:
Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
