NR 1973 Lincoln Continental 59,988 miles.  NOT RUNNING

This is a no reserve auction.  ANY QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE BIDDING!

Here's the story:

Car turns over fine.  Not getting spark.

I bought the car 2 years ago with plans of restoring it.  Other than doing a little body work not much has happened.  Earlier this summer I started tinkering under the hood.  

When I bought the Lincoln the guy had put in new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points.  
 
I put in a charged up battery, put some fresh gas.  No go.  So I replaced the coil.  Still no spark.
 
I really hate to sell this but currently it is just sitting in my yard, under a car cover.
 
The floors and frame are great.  The body has some rust here and there, nothing really serious.  Vinyl top is shot.

I have the hub caps off and fender skirts off and in the car.
 
I have the title.
 
The Lincoln was last inspected in 1995.
 
My plans were to restore.  My father had one of these, almost exactly like this one, when I was a small child and I always wanted his to be my first car.  Of course - time had its way and that Lincoln (known as the Green Meanie) and it was parked and become history.

I have no other info.  I'm not a mechanic.  You can feel free to ask question, and I'll answer those I know the answers to.  

Things happen and I don't know when I'll have any $ to put into this beauty.  She deserves much more than napping under a car cover in my back yard./>



PAYMENT
I accept payment via PayPal.  If paying via PayPal - I require a non refundable $500 depost.  If you want to pay cash upon pick up, this must be discussed prior to bidding.  Full payment due 48hrs after auctions end.

SHIPPING
100% NO SHIPPING!   *** PICK UP MUST HAPPEN WITHIN ONE WEEK OF AUCTIONS END***  I am not dealing w/ any aspects of shipping or handling.  If you want this, come pick it up.  Lincoln is accessible via a alley w/ limited access. It will need moved from my yard to the alley prior to going on a roll back if that is your plan.  All of this will be buyers responsibility.

2020 Ford Explorer nabs IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating after updates

Mon, Sep 21 2020

The 2020 Ford Explorer has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the agency's best rating. The redesigned Explorer initially fell short of that mark, however, only making the grade after Ford introduced a running change to the vehicle's design starting in May 2020 — a change made to the 2020 Lincoln Aviator as well. To achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must have a Good performance rating in all six of the agency's crash tests. It also must have Acceptable or better ratings for all of its available headlamps and must earn Advanced or Superior ratings for its automated collision avoidance systems in tests of their performance against pedestrians and other vehicles. The 2020 Explorer initially achieved only an Acceptable performance in the IIHS's driver's-side small-overlap crash test, as the agency found a risk of injury to the driver's left foot due to intrusion into the footwell. Ford subsequently modified the design of the front subframe in a running change to Explorers and to Lincoln Aviators built after May 2020. The modified Explorer was re-tested, and this time the model achieved a Good performance in the driver's small-overlap test. That, combined with a Superior performance in both tests of the standard collision-avoidance system plus Acceptable ratings for both headlight systems, pushed the 2020 Explorer over the goal line to Top Safety Pick+. The Aviator, which shares the Explorer's platform, has received the same modification and achieves the same crashworthiness ratings. However, its standard headlights are judged Marginal, and therefore the 2020 Aviator achieves only the Top Safety Pick rating (even though its optional curve-adaptive LED headlights are judged Good).

This 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car is very green

Wed, Jan 13 2021

Autoblog Green editor John Beltz Snyder asked me to come up with something for his side of the room, so I happily obliged. Team player and all. This may not be what he had in mind, but Mr. Snyder cannot deny that the car you see here is in fact extremely green. In fact, the exterior of this 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car for sale by Worldwide Vintage Autos is rocking two verdant shades. According to this original brochure, it sure looks like a combination of Dark Jade Metallic with Light Jade Valino Grain Vinyl Roof. There was actually a "Light Jade and Dark Jade Luxury Group" for '77 that describes this very car's exterior combo, but that apparently has a "tu-tone" leather and vinyl upholstery inside, whereas this car would seem to have the optional "Majestic Velour Luxury Group" in Jade.  If you wonder why I'm oddly fascinated by Malaise era luxury yachts, descriptors like "Light Jade Valino Grain Vinyl" and "Majestic Velour" should provide key clues. Well, those and the specs. The '77 Continental Town Car was 233 inches long, which is 11.1 inches longer than a 2021 Lincoln Navigator L ... as in the extended-length version. The Town Car was also 79.7 inches wide, which is only 0.2 inches narrower than today's biggest Lincoln. Its wheelbase, however, was 127.2 inches, which is 4.4 shorter than the Navigator. You don't really need to see the specs to notice that length-to-wheelbase discrepancy, though, just check out that rear overhang! Then there's the engine: a 7.5-liter V8. Cool, that must be awesome! False. This upgrade engine for '77 produced 208 horsepower and an admittedly robust 356 pound-feet of torque. It had a three-speed automatic. It also weighed in at 4,880 pounds. Fuel economy? Ah, don't really have EPA figures for '77, so let's just say it was about as green as the Rose's Town Car on "Schitt's Creek."  So there, a very green car. Happy John?

Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving

In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper.
You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.
