1962 Lincoln Continental

Up for auction is my beautiful 1962 Lincoln Continental. Perfect example of an original California rust-free classic that's never left the state. I am only the 3rd registered owner to the car and I purchased it from the son of the original owner here in Orange County (it still has the matching set of CA black plates). This Lincoln sat covered in a warehouse for almost 3 decades before being restored. Aside from the paint and new upholstery everything is very much original and in great shape. Even the dash pad and steering wheel are from factory and have no cracks which is very rare for a 50+ year old Lincoln. All the chrome and stainless steel trim is original to the car and nothing has been re-chromed, it's still in excellent condition since the car has always been stored indoors. Nothing is missing on the car and everything looks just as it should. These Lincolns are getting harder to find each year and expecially in this condition.  

The car had the original 430 engine and C-6 trans rebuilt back in 2006 and now have about 30k miles since the rebuild. I just had the carburator rebuilt last month, rebuilt power steering pump and gear box (3 months ago), full exhaust system replaced just last month, and installed a new red top Optima battery. It's already been converted from a generator to an alternator setup. Car runs excellent and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. Engine bay is very clean and some of the parts have been powdercoated like the valve covers and air cleaner. The suspension, power steering, and power brakes all work perfect and it drives with great ease for such a large car. The front end was dropped 3 inches with custom lowering springs made specially for this car, rear has air shocks that can be raised or lowered to your desired height. Even though the car sits lower than stock it still feels like a factory Lincoln on the road unlike cars that have just had the front springs cut and lowering blocks installed in the rear. No squeaks or rattles anywhere and the engine drives very quite as well. All 4 power windows go up and down, interior and exterior lights all work, wipers, turn signals, power seat, ect all work fine. The A/C system has not been recharged in years so it's probably due for a service. Still blows Cool air but needs to be charged to blow Ice-cold again. The interior was all done earlier this year which included front and rear leather seat upholstery, door panels, new wood trim, full carpet, headliner, trunk carpet and custom tire cover with embroidered Lincoln emblem. The car was painted 2 years ago with a nice two stage black paint job that still looks great. There's a couple minor paint imperfections from average use but nothing noticable. Car has all original sheet metal and it has never been in an accident. It's never had any rust issues or metal repairs done to it either. Original glass all around in excellent shape as well.

This beauty turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever we drive it. If you don't like constant attention this car is not for you. I've got a ton of invoices and past service records from over the years including factory service manuals and even the original owners manual from 1962. I've got a clean CA title in hand with current registration under my name. Car is available for inspection by any serious bidder during this auction so feel free to send me a message with your phone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. As all other classic cars it is being sold in AS IS condition and there is no warranty included in this sale. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. This is a NO RESERVE listing so the car will go to the highest bidder no matter what. I'm selling the Lincoln to buy a 65' Cobra replica so if you have one that you would like to trade let me know (that is the only car I will consider a trade with). View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing my listing.

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?

Analysts warn Lincoln shouldn't follow Ford out of the sedan market

Fri, Dec 6 2019

Lincoln looks set to mimic Ford's on-going shift away from sedans. The move makes sense on the surface, but analysts warn the luxury brand needs to keep some low-riding models in its portfolio. The company's current lineup includes two sedans, the MKZ and the Continental, plus five SUVs. The sedans aren't long for this world, according to The Detroit Free Press. The publication learned Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico, factory will stop manufacturing the MKZ in late 2020 or early 2021, and it pointed out UAW documents note Continental production will continue "through its product lifecycle." In other words, it's the last model on the Continental branch of the Lincoln family tree. These two nameplates represent 23.3 percent of Lincoln's annual sales so far in 2019, which is a surprising and respectable statistic. One in four cars the company sells is a sedan. The problem is that they accounted for 27.6 percent of the firm's sales in 2018, and that number will continue to fall in 2020 as customers flock towards crossovers and SUVs. And yet, exiting the sedan market isn't the right answer for a company that wants to re-establish its reputation as a luxury automaker. Eric Noble, the president of consulting firm CarLab, told The Detroit Free Press about 40 percent of American buyers in the market for a luxury car choose a sedan. The Chinese market — where Lincoln hopes to gain a secure foothold in the coming years — also has a healthy appetite for sedans. Going SUV-only is a strategy that might work well in the United States, but it doesn't suit Lincoln's ambitions. Germany's big three luxury brands all have a flagship sedan at the top of their range. We can't argue against sales data; the sedan market is shrinking. There are ways to keep buyers in the fold, however. The Continental is a stellar effort from the brand, and a solid foundation on which to build. Noble pointed out Lincoln could use the rear-wheel drive platform found under its Aviator and Ford's latest Explorer to build a four-door model with a fastback-like roof line in the vein of the Audi A7. It's a sleeker, sexier body style that tends to attract more buyers than a more conventional three-box sedan, which is often criticized as old-fashioned. Automakers can normally get away with charging a little bit more for these cars; the A7 is more expensive than the A6, for example. Electrification could be the Lincoln sedan's saving grace.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford 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."
