For Auction is a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car.  This car is very good shape with original paint, engine, and all trim.  I have driven this car for about a year and love to drive it.  It runs very well and glides down the street.  I get a lot of comments from people of all ages.  It really does catch attention.  


The car was bought brand new and owned locally for the first 30 years of its life.  Then it was purchased by someone that wanted to just have it for a cruiser, but never took it out to cruise.  I have had it now for about 15 months.  The car has been taken care of and still runs great.

The GOOD!

Everything works.  8 track, AM/FM Stereo, power antenna, power windows, power seats, cruise control, vacuum power head light covers (both open on close, no winking), rear defroster, heater, wipers, inside side mirror adjustments.  All exterior and interior lights work.  The only option that is not currently fully working is the A/C.  The compressor was changed at some point and a switch was inserted under the dash.  The belt has been removed.  The compressor works, but I believe it needs to be charged.

The engine runs very well for its age.  It should have a tune up and could use some carb work done to it.  I have only ever changed out a coolant hose since I have owned it.

The transmission is great.  There is no slipping and it shifts very nicely.

Tires are almost brand new and it comes with a matching spare that has never been used.  

All the glass is in good shape with no chips or cracks.  

Paint still shines with the exception of the hood area.

All chrome and stainless is in good shape and will shine nicely.

The NOT SO GOOD...

Paint is thin on the hood and trunk areas.  Not bad yet, but noticeable.

The vinyl half top has some hail damage to it.  You can see it in the pictures.

There are a few places where paint has chipped off, but has not rusted.  Namely on the fender skirts.

The front bumper has a dent in it.  It was there when I bought it...I have no idea how it came to be.

The back bumper has a dent in it.  I put it there.  The car is long so backing up can be a challenge in a tight spot when a pole jumps out behind you.

There is an area where the paint has been rubbed off by the passenger side tail light.  I believe this happened when someone was not paying attention and they grazed the car with their bumper backing out of the next parking spot.  Like I said...the car is very long.

Carb work as mentioned above.  It is hard on gas...about 8 miles to the gallon.  When it is warm it will diesel a little bit.  It starts again right away..but I have never had time to have it looked at.

There is dual exhaust on this car.  This car never came with catalytic converters so there are none.  Both mufflers need to be replaced.  One is completely blown out. (it set the car alarm off on the car sitting next to me).  The pipes are in good shape but they are not shiney new.  As far as I have seen they are not loose nor full of rust holes.

The interior is leather and is cracked in places, but over all it would clean up nicely.  The headliner is nice is tight.

**There is no body rust on this car!!!!

I have included some pictures.  If you want something specific, just let me know.  

PayPal only.  Auction price does not include a reserve and does include shipping or transport charges.  

Please ask any and all questions before bidding.

Woman keying luxury car caught on tape

Thu, Nov 12 2015

Toronto police are on the hunt for a disguised woman who was caught on camera Sunday keying a car. The woman sported a red bandana over her face and baseball cap as she ran up to the Lincoln MKS in a driveway, the Toronto Star reported. She then went to town with a sharp object, gleefully scratching the car's paint job. She runs off after nearly a minute of enthusiastic damage. Police believe the victim and the vandal know each other, since the Lincoln is the only car in the neighborhood she hit. This is also the third time this particular car has been damaged. They suspect this woman is responsible for the previous incidents. Toronto police told the Star that it will likely cost Lincoln owner thousands to have his car repaired. Security cameras are great for catching vandals in the act, though the videos are difficult for any car enthusiast to watch. Take for instance this video from London in April of a man scratching an Aston Martin while pushing a baby stroller. News Source: The Toronto Star Lincoln Videos vandalism scratch

2015 Lincoln MKC

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Back in 2012, Lincoln claimed its comeback bid was finally underway with the new-for-2013 MKZ. But don't you believe them - the renaissance won't actually begin in earnest until the shapely compact crossover seen here reaches showrooms in big numbers. That's because while the four-door MKZ was indeed a proper step toward rebirth, the 2015 MKC is the first wholly conceived vehicle under Lincoln as a standalone brand, a move first announced back in 2012.
That's an important distinction, because Lincoln's newfound emancipation from Ford's design and development processes has given the struggling marque both the corporate wherewithal and the will to develop a more fully formed product. The four-wheeled result seen here is a surprisingly cohesive luxury CUV, one with significantly more aesthetic and dynamic separation from its Ford Escape sibling than the MKZ and its Fusion counterpart. Said another way, after flogging Lincoln's latest for hundreds of miles over canyon roads outside of Santa Barbara, we've come to understand that this is far from a re-grilled Dearborn special with luxury tinsel - it's a bona fide standalone product that readily displays the sort of clear differentiation seen in platform cousins like the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. It's the real deal.

Vintage photos: How presidential limos evolved from open convertibles to Biden's armored Cadillac

Wed, Mar 13 2024

President Ronald Reagan waves from the back of his limousine in 1984.Ronald Reagan Library/Getty Images US presidents used to ride in unarmored convertibles with open roofs. After John F. Kennedy's assassination, presidential cars were customized with safety features. Today's presidential limousine is a 20,000-pound, $1.5 million Cadillac known as "The Beast." US presidents used to ride around in open convertibles. Today, President Joe Biden is driven in a 20,000-pound, $1.5 million armored Cadillac known as "The Beast." Take a look at how presidential limousines have changed through the years. Presidential cars replaced horses and carriages in the early 20th century. President William McKinley rides in an automobile in 1896.Photo12/Universal Images Group via Getty Images President William McKinley, who served from 1897 to 1901, was the first US president to ride in a car, according to the National Archives. The administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, who succeeded McKinley after his 1901 assassination, was the first to include a government-owned car. In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first president to ride in an armored vehicle — a limousine that previously belonged to gangster Al Capone. President Franklin D. Roosevelt rides in a car with bulletproof glass in 1942.Bettmann/Contributor/Getty Images Roosevelt previously drove around in a 1936 Packard Touring Limousine. Then, in 1941, he upgraded to an automobile with bulletproof glass that the Treasury Department had seized from Capone in 1932, according to the US Secret Service. President Dwight Eisenhower's presidential limousine was a 1955 Chrysler Crown Imperial.

President John F. Kennedy's assassination in the back of a 1961 Lincoln Continental changed presidential cars forever. President John F.
