1969 Lincoln Continental You are looking at a piece of history; a 1969 Lincoln Continental. It is very hard to even find pieces to these cars, let alone find a whole car, and one that could run and drive with very minor repairs. This car is currently in “project” form. This is NOT a show car by any means and has not been restored. It has been left in its “original” condition and will make for an absolutely great restoration project. Once this car is in running condition, you will not be able to pull it out of the driveway without someone asking you questions about it or people taking pictures of it. It will be an absolute blast to own and drive. After a complete restoration, you would have one very rare and hard to find car.
This is a true “barn find.” It was bought after sitting in a barn for a very long time. It was parked there untouched for years, making this an even rarer find. You find Lincoln’s all over the place that have been highly modified, but not this one. You are being given the chance to own a car that will make for a great project. It would be very hard to even put a price on this car after a complete restoration was completed.
The following is what makes this car such a great vehicle:
THE GOOD: - CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IN HAND - VIN: 9Y82A885400 - 49,750 miles - 460 V8 Engine - All original car - Very solid inside and out - Will fire and run (idle) - True barn find - All trim pieces are present - All glass is present - All chrome is present - A complete interior is present - All lights are present - Power everything - New battery - New tires - Suicide rear doors - Minor rust - Badges are present - Great looking under body - Top is in fair shape - Mirrors are present - Body is very solid - Original steering wheel and dash - Clock in passenger dash - Seats are in great shape - A luxury vehicle in its day - Comfortable and spacious - Motor is complete - MUST SEE IN PERSON THE BAD: - Has been sitting for over five years. - It will start and run, but certainly needs a good tune up. - The brakes feel soft, therefore it is NOT listing as a RUNNING and DRIVING car. - Power window switch has a short in it. They do work sometimes. - Looks to have been repainted at one time, but it is hard to tell. - Some interior pieces of the drive door panel are loose. - The headliner on the drive side has a hole in it. - The car will have to be towed/hauled to its destination. - The exact mileage is unknown. The dash reads 49,750.
I know I am forgetting a few things, but I have done my best to list everything that this car has or includes. You will be very pleased with the attention it gets after it has been restored, or even in the condition is currently sits. There are endless possibilities with this car. You could literally leave it exactly as it sits, tune it up, and drive it for years. You could invest thousands in order to make it the fully restored piece of history. You could install your choice of replacement parts to have the car meet your preferences. The list goes on and on forever. This is a 1969 Lincoln Continental! There is no other car like it, and it is by far the coolest vehicle I have ever seen.
Please, keep in mind this vehicle is considered an antique. It is by no means a show car or a “perfect” condition car. You absolutely must see it in person to appreciate it! I will not haul the car for you to decide if you like it or not. You are the buyer; therefore, you are responsible for all parts on your end of the sale (i.e. shipping, title transfer, registration, insurance, inspection, and so on).

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Junkyard Gem: 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV
Sat, Jun 25 2022For most of the period from the middle 1950s through the late 1990s, the Lincoln Marks were the most expensive cars Americans could buy from the Ford Motor Company. During the 1970s, the Mark III, Mark IV, and Mark V personal luxury coupes were built on the same chassis as the then-massive Thunderbird, with curb weights hovering around 5,000 pounds. Here's a 1972 Mark IV, from the year when engine power really started its Malaise Era fall off a cliff, photographed in a Denver-area self-service yard. The list price on this car started at $8,640, which amounts to something like $61,445 in 2022 bucks. That was quite a bit less than the $10,634 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5, though the Benz had the more powerful V8 engine. Power ratings had just gone to net rather than gross numbers, so this massive 460-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 was rated at just 224 horsepower (ever-stricter emission rules knocked actual power down as well). At least the torque was still pretty good, at 342 pound-feet. Runs on regular gas! This car clearly spent quite a while, probably at least a couple of decades, sitting outdoors in the harsh Colorado climate. The seat upholstery is deeply irradiated. The padded vinyl roof didn't fare well beneath the sun. Someone has torn apart the dash, but you can still see the classy Cartier clock hiding in the wreckage. There's some rust, enough to scare off anyone who might have been interested in performing a restoration. The Continental Mark IV's main rival was the Cadillac Eldorado, which was slightly smaller and (marginally) less packed with bling. The '72 Imperial LeBaron was cheaper and boasted one more horsepower than the Mark IV, but seemed stodgy next to the devil-may-care Lincoln. This content is hosted by a third party.

2015-2019 Lincoln MKC recalled over fire risk in engine bay
Mon, Jun 5 2023Ford has commenced a recall of 142,734 examples of the Lincoln MKC from the 2015 to the 2019 model years. The potential issue centers on the battery monitor sensor in the compact luxury crossover. After reports of 19 fires in MKCs in the U.S., Canada and China, Ford's internal investigation found that the monitor sensor housing could be damaged when technicians worked in that area of the engine bay. If the housing damage caused the sensor to short circuit, the short could lead to an electrical load in the sensor's power circuit that causes enough heat to set fire to surrounding material. That could lead to a fire in the engine bay at any time, while driving or even when the MKC is turned off. The Lincolns were built from August 20, 2013 to August 2, 2019. The automaker says it isn't aware of any injuries or accidents due to this; all of the models that caught fire were parked and off at the time. Because of the risk of fire at any time, Ford is recommending that owners park outside and away from structures until owners have had the issue repaired. The fix is a trip to the dealer to have a fuse added to the battery monitor sensor power circuit that can kill the current in the event of a short. Ford will begin sending letters to MKC owners on June 26. In the meantime, owners are free to contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332 to find out more about the recall or if their MKC is affected, or they can get in touch with their local Ford or Lincoln dealer. The company's internal number for this recall is 23S28. Owners can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov, and refer to campaign number 23V378.
