Here is something you do not see every day, a gorgeous original 1982 Lincoln Continental in exceptional condition.  This car has been pampered, garaged, and treasured all of it’s life.  The 1982-87 Lincoln Continentals are seldom seen today, they are a rare body style; the ’82-83 cars are the rarest of them all. They feature very different styling cues when compared to the later cars, particularly in the front end treatment.  Perform a Google search for these two model years and see how many you find for sale in any condition, let alone in remarkable original condition like this one.

This car was custom ordered by its original owner in a very elegant color combination.  The understated platinum exterior is accented by bold burgundy/red bodyside moldings and burgundy/red dual band pin stripes.  The sumptuous leather interior is a gorgeous deep blue.  Wide whitewall tires are fitted to the original alloy wire wheels.  This Continental is STUNNING and turns heads wherever it goes.  People ask about this car constantly and often comment that they have never seen one before. 


The paint is gorgeous and holds a beautiful gloss, a testament to it’s 100% garaged pedigree.  The only notable exterior flaw is one small ding on the rear wheel well molding (see photo). The interior is immaculate and supple; it could almost pass for a car with 22,000 miles.  Please examine the perfect dash, steering wheel, and spotless trunk. The only flaw is a small tear on the driver’s seat (see photo).  The car is in better cosmetic condition than most 4-5 year old Camrys.

The car is an original Southern California car and remained there until I purchased it eight years ago and moved it to the Seattle area, as a result there is absolutely no rust anywhere (see undercarriage photos).  It has just under 122,000 honest miles on it, which translates to just 3800 miles per year; very low mileage for it’s age. One feature that makes the 82-83s more desirable is that they do not have the problem plagued and complex front and rear air suspension that was standard on the 84-87 models, yet it rides so smooth and quiet you would think it does.  It also has Ford’s reliable, durable, and economical 5.0 (302) V8 with Ford’s fine 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission.   This drive train, coupled with the Continentals smaller size, make this a really nice modern drivable collectable.   It starts, idles, drives and shifts beautifully.    All power accessories work, including the trip computer.  The AC blows cold.

I have owned this Continental for eight great years and I’m really going to miss it, but I am now downsizing my collection of cars.  The time has come to find this wonderful 1982 Lincoln Continental another fine home  and for someone else to enjoy it.  This is a rare opportunity to acquire a really nice honest and original example of these cars. You will be the only kid on the block with one of these!  It is in excellent condition and  can be shown with pride immediately.  Included with the sale of this car are the 1982 Ford Motor Company Service Manuals that cover all Fox Body cars, including the Lincoln Continental.

The car is 32+ years old, so obviously it is sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I have tried to describe the car in the best detail possible, but I may have missed something important to you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have BEFORE bidding.  In person inspections are welcome and can be arranged.

 A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The balance is due within 7 days of the end of the auction. Wire transfer for the balance is preferred.  Cashiers or personal check is okay, but verification of clearance will delay the release of the car. I am happy to work with your shipper once the car is paid for and I can provide indoor storage for the car up to 30 days after the end of the auction. I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early for local sale.  I am happy to work with International buyers. Please keep in mind car will need to be paid in full and clearance of payment will need to be verified prior to the car being released for transport.

 I have had the same eBay id for nearly 9 years; my feedback speaks for itself.  This is a 'no surprises' car.

Why the 2015 Lincoln MKC is 'holding some powder'

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Earlier this month in our first drive of the 2015 MKC, we told you that Lincoln finally had a new vehicle in its arsenal worth crowing about. So with the compact premium crossover now finding its way into dealers, why aren't you seeing its likeness plastered on billboards and barraging you on television? It's because Lincoln is "holding some powder."
Those are the words of Lincoln's global director, Matt VanDyke, who tells Autoblog that the company is holstering some of its marketing guns because it's keen to avoid repeating the ill-timed efforts that blighted its last rollout, the MKZ. That vehicle's launch early last year was beset by various delays related to manufacturing and quality. The cadence issue was so dire that by the time the model reached showrooms in volume, Lincoln had already blown most of its budget on things like Super Bowl ads that ran weeks or even months before customers could check one out in person. It was a particularly trying series of events for parent Ford because the MKZ and its oversized marketing spend were charged with relaunching the Lincoln brand to the public.
Keen to avoid repeating the same timing issue and mindful of consumers' habits at this time of year, Lincoln is taking a different strategy with the MKC. According to VanDyke, "What we don't want to do is try and fight the summertime - people using television being down, and other mass media when school's out. New television shows aren't on." Of course, that doesn't mean Lincoln is sitting idle. VanDyke says, "By no means are we quiet during the next 90 days. This year, we're going to really spend the next 60 to 90 days using digital and social media, in-theater advertising and the like, and once we have full availability at dealerships, we'll really ramp up the advertising later on in the summer." Part of that early media effort includes immersive digital marketing like Lincoln's clever Dream Rides web experience.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.

Art students explore what a Lincoln might look like in 2040

Tue, Jun 29 2021

Lincoln gave students at the ArtCenter College of Design an unusual challenge. It asked them to sketch their idea of what its cars will look like in the year 2040, and it instructed them to team up with students specializing in other fields (including film and illustration) to create a short movie that depicts their concept, the environment it operates in, and the folks who drive it. Over a year in the making, the final submissions have been presented to the public. "More than just the vehicles themselves, we were looking for that great narrative development, that rich storytelling. It's so important to understand the future ecosystem in which a concept vehicle will live," explained Jordan Meadows, the global strategic design specialist for Lincoln, in a statement.  Four teams of students participated in the project, which Lincoln called Quiet Flight 2040. Students received a basic set of guidelines that helped them create what the Ford-owned firm referred to as "the ultimate beautiful gliding human sanctuary," a term that's intentionally open to interpretation. Four body styles were chosen: a two-passenger car, a four-passenger vehicle, a different four-passenger model with a higher, SUV-like ride height and a six-seater. Participants created the concepts from scratch and showcased them in short films. The design studies are crammed with futuristic features, including autonomous driving systems, a technology that displays images on the dashboard, touchscreens embedded into the door windows, and a lounge-like interior that wouldn't look out of place at the Consume Electronics Show (CES). One is a crossover with a fastback-like roof line, another is a stately sedan, a third is an elegant coupe and the last is a van-like vehicle that looks like nothing Lincoln has ever built before. Nothing suggests these concepts will be built, let alone approved for production. What's certain is that, from a student's perspective, Lincoln's future looks a lot different than Polestar's. Volvo's upmarket offshoot held a similar contest in late 2020, and the finalists returned with a sci-fi blimp, an electric yacht and an autonomous pod.
