In the mid-90s the car was sold out of the West Coast and was then repainted black in Minnesota . I purchased this car about 2 years ago and had gathered a few extra parts in plan to restore it, but I have a 1957 and am planning on restoring that car instead. The car is currently located at my home in Poolesville, MD 20837. Feel free to call and see when you can stop by and see it in person. Again this is a nice car, especially the no rot factor, but it needs a lot of things to bring the 35-75k price that I have seen at auction.
This car has a lot of positives being that it's a Western car with a very solid body panels and a rock solid frame. The car runs and drives and is what I would call a "driver quality car" with lots of potential. You could drive this car home assuming you have proper insurance and tags.
I know that this car is not perfect, but it a very good car to start a restoration with. That is why I have held onto it, as restoring it was my intention.
Mechanically the engine sounds very good and the transmission is working well.
I will help with any type of shipping or can drive the car to the Port of Baltimore if you are an International buyer.
Here are some key points about this Continental:
- Air Conditioned car
- AC compressor is fine, but the system needs service
- Super dry Western car
- Extra parts included such as correct jack, radio, front upper bumper guards (lower portions are listed on eBay currently if you'd like to purchase them), extra pieces of glass to replace (including a nice front windshield I will pack and put inside the car for new buyer )
- Recently rebuilt working wiper motor installed last year (Ficken Wiper)
- Lights work (can be seen in photos)
- Working horn
- Hubcaps are about an 8 out 10 with 10 being the best
- Michelin tires are in very nice condition
- Has incorrect radio cassette player, but it does work and is perfectly fine for use (but I will supply a correct Lincoln core to rebuild)
- Nice rear inner rockers while car is on lift (please see pictures)
- The front and rear seats have been redone in leather.
- Car was garaged in Minnesota from mid-90s and I have stored in inside as well.
- The car was originally white. the engine bay was never done
- If there is anything I missed, please email me as I do have a lot of extra parts.
- paint is presentable
Things that need attention on this car:
- Windows do not work
- Odometer does not work
- Front windshield has a crack in the upper center (needs replaced, but I am supplying a nice windshield with the purchase of this car)
- AC system
- Put in the new front windshield and rear passenger side glass that I have supplied
My phone number is 301-672-1000. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car.
For my business I focus mainly on Cadillacs. Please check out my About Me page.

2015 Lincoln MKC
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Back 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.
Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls
Wed, Oct 28 2015Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.

Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.
Wed, May 9 2018BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford — as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz — had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
