This gorgeous automobile turns heads and stops traffic wherever it goes.  Only 2200 of these were made. Anyone who loves old American steel knows this car's history as the first choice of heads of state and the rich and famous.  They also know that Lincoln spared no effort in engineering and designing the Continental.  Operate the convertible top and literally everyone within sight of it will stop to watch a true engineering marvel in action.  



This car has been well-loved and carefully kept and maintained.  It is mostly stock and in very good condition, rust-free, with the original motor and transmission.  This car was originally delivered to the first of only three owners in the arid Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  I am the third owner, and I've kept it in a climate controlled garage.  Some original documentation is available, along with repair manuals and miscellaneous parts that I've collected over the years.  Also available is what's left of a '67 Lincoln Continental sedan parts car. A car of this year and model (in showroom condition) sold for $72,000.00 On Mecham Auctions Last October (Lot #681).


 


Some specs on this model:  this car has a 462 cubic inch big-block eight-cylinder engine that produces 340 hp at 4,600 rpm, and 485 ft-lb of torque at 2,800 rpm.  To say that this car can fly is an understatement.  Besides the convertible top and suicide doors, I think its coolest feature is the automatic headlight dimmers.

  • Convertible top was new when I got the car eleven years ago.  It's still in great shape.

  • Many hours have been invested in cleaning and polishing this largely intact specimen.

  • Timing chain and gear set replaced

  • Front seal replaced


 


What this car needs:


  • The odometer and speedometer quit working in the past year.  Car has around 82k original miles but must be considered true miles unknown.  
  • Master lockout/bypass window switch needs to be replaced (missing since I bought the car).
  • Windows do not automatically drop when operating the top like they should.  Haven't had time to investigate but think just cleaning the knife switches might do the trick.  Or you can just lower the windows a little before operating the top.
  • Minor interior items (back of passenger seat clips, typical crack in dash pad next to speaker).
  • dent on passenger side front fender
  • Car is not original color (original paint code shows it was Aegean Bronze) but shows just fine as a driver.
  • A/C does not work (not converted from original R-12 yet).  Never bothered to fix because it's a convertible.
  • Cruise control does not work (needs new bellows and vacuum lines).


And most of all, what this car needs is a good home where it will be well tended.  If you have questions, message me with a phone number and times when I can reach you.

Tesla offered nuclear plant in France, and more | Autoblog Minute

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Longtime GM design chief Ed Welburn retires, Lincoln says it has high customer interest in Continental, and could Tesla build the Model 3 in France? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] General Motors' long time Vice President of design, Ed Welburn, announced his retirement this week. He joined GM in 1972 and he's just the sixth design chief in GM's 108 years. He's being replaced by Michael Simcoe who is Vice President of design for GM's international operations. Now Ed Welburn's time at GM dates back to when he was 11 years old. He wrote a letter to the company saying he wanted to be a designer. [00:00:30] Someone at General Motors got back to him and the rest is history. Lincoln already has 40,000 hand raisers for the new Continental. Now those aren't Tesla figures but it's still a very healthy number and shows a lot of interest for its new flagship sedan. The Continental will replace the MKS in Lincoln's lineup. Continental will be in showrooms this fall and it will offer a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo with 400 HP. Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra said, "No other Lincoln vehicle has [00:01:00] generated this much interest in this little time." This week in Tesla news, Reuters reports that a French government official has offered Elon Musk the site of a an old nuclear reactor to build a car factory. The reactor, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is set to close at the end of this year. Now this notion is not that far fetched. Musk says that he would consider it. Meanwhile demand for the Model 3 continues to be strong and has attracted hundreds of thousands of hand raisers. [00:01:30] Those are the highlights form the week that was. Be sure to come back this Saturday for my full recap where I'll have additional insights into the automotive industry. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

2020 Lincoln Navigator cut to three trims, starts at $77,120

Tue, Aug 20 2019

Lincoln has reworked the Navigator lineup for 2020, a brand spokesperson telling Cars Direct it wants to make ordering the luxury SUV "even more effortless for clients." That means shedding one of the four current trims, the Select, and rearranging pricing for the three remaining variants. The entry-level Navigator Standard starts at $75,825 before the $1,295 destination charge, the total coming to $77,120. The figure represents a $2,620 increase over the 2019 model year, but as we reported earlier, Lincoln added a number of new features for 2020. Convenience items such as power running boards, heated and cooled front seats, wireless phone charging, and Lincoln's Phone as Key system are standard throughout the range. Every 2020 Navigator will also get the driver safety suite CoPilot360. That technology isn't available on the 2019 Navigator Standard, and requires the $2,640 Technology Package on the Select trim, which is already $4,000 more expensive than the base trim. With the Select gone, the next trim up is Reserve. Lincoln says 90 percent of customers choose the Reserve or Black Label trims, and any buyers planning on the former will think 2020 a good year. The Reserve could only be had as a 4x4 in 2019, but adds a 4x2 powertrain for 2020 and lowers its price. It will start at $82,660 in two-wheel-drive guise, making it $3,830 less than the 2019 model with all-wheel drive. The Reserve 4x4 will cost $85,330, for a discount of $1,170 compared to 2019. The 2020 Navigator Reserve will also add the option of a Monochrome Package, which eliminates chrome on trim like the grille and side vents, making them body color instead. It also paints the mirror caps in the body color and swaps out for 22-inch, 12-spoke black painted wheels. We don't know pricing on that yet, but the package will only be available in Pristine White, Ceramic Pearl (gray), or Infinite Black.   The extended Reserve L in 4x2 form starts at $85,860. Cars Direct didn't break out a price for the Reserve L 4x4, but assuming the $3,200 price difference between the 4x2 models holds, the price would be $88,530. That's the same $1,170 discount as on the non-L Reserve trims.    The top-shelf Black Label sticks to a 4x4-only formula, and goes up by just $375 for both regular and L versions. The regular 2020 Black Label trim will cost $98,065, the Black Label L will cost $101,265.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
