Selling my garage-kept 1968 Lincoln Continental with an original 47,333 mi. in the color Belmont Green with green leather interior. Lots of options, many of them rare. Everything is original except for having installed a Pertronix II setup a recent basic tune up. Does have air conditioning but it doesn't work at this time (I know it at least will need recharge, I've never turned it on).
It was a Minnesota and Iowa car until I brought it down to Georgia. It does not seem to have the telltale signs of having been driven much, if at all, in the winter/rain and the previous owner's father (who was the original owner) only drove it on occasion. I only drove it on sunny days here in the ATL. I did plan on a complete paint job, though, as it does have some rust in the typical spots - but it looks to be surface rust.
Sale includes a spare MEL 462 engine and associated transmission from a 1967 Lincoln Continental, both of which were rebuilt in the late 80's. The engine was running about a year ago but I do not have the equipment to run it to demonstrate - it turns. Also comes with all of the parts you see in the trunk which include a case of oil, a Motorcraft filter, a new timing chain and sprocket, new pushrods, a set of new belts, a new high-volume oil pump and associated gaskets. You also you see the Pertronix box inside of which is the original points/coil. I also include a cover that fits the car perfectly (not shown in photos). I also have a spare front passenger door from the same car the aforementioned engine/tranny came from. I can bubble wrap that and throw it in the trunk for you (it's heavy as sin though). Perhaps you may want that...
The car will not change hands until payment has cleared. Happy to deliver the car, engine, and transmission to you within a 100-mi radius of my house for free. Delivery of the engine will not include the engine stand. Any further than 100 mi. and I'll charge a fee. Delivery by me is at my convenience and will most likely be only on a Sunday.
By the way, the tires are pretty much new (maybe 2,500 miles on them) and the tie rods have been replaced. Yes, it does have a spare tire and the original tire jack kit. No rust on the truck lid (a common problem).
Please see video on YouTube (http://youtu.be/9XTopyw1KZk) (you'll have to copy/paste that link) and photos and let me know if you have any questions. Happy to take photos by request.
If you want to ship the vehicle using a vehicle shipping service, I'm happy to be there for the driver but I can't arrange or pay for shipping for you. I'm nearby Atlanta and off of a major truck route from Florida to the north (I-75) so I'd imagine it wouldn't been all that hard to get the car shipped. It was about $375 for me to ship it from Iowa to Georgia but I can't guarantee that price.
Know that, as with ALL car sales, this is an as-is sale. If you purchase the car sight unseen, you are purchasing an unrestored classic Lincoln in great shape for its age that gets compliments every time it sees the light of day and has won a couple "top 5"-type trophies at local car shows. So long as you pay for the required shipping, you'll also get a spare engine and tranny at no additional cost. Plus all the other parts you see in the trunk. It, like any car, has its issues and I have expressed in the video the issues that I am aware of. I'm not trying to screw people, but do not come back to me whining about something I didn't mention and apparently should have known about (because I'm apparently some know-it-all of every tidbit of everything) - it's a 45 year old car and it needs someone to love it. I'm selling it because, while I do love it, I won't be able to "love, love" it (do all the work I want to do to it) for a couple years and I thought maybe someone might have the time now for it. I've seen 5 year old cars in terrible shape - this is a really great original Lincoln that you can work on, drive, and still enjoy over time - it ain't no rust bucket POS junk missing key parts. So let's not play that "I want money from you because..." game... it's not happening. Again, this is an as-is unrestored classic car purchase - there are no refunds, no partial refunds, no warranty, and no whining.
Viewings will be scheduled and at a location convenient to me, not where the car is stored for security. I'm happy to meet you at the ATL airport with the car if the meeting is at a convenient time for me.

2018 Lincoln Navigator Review | 900 miles in mid-century opulence
Fri, Aug 10 2018PORTLAND, Ore. — Driving the 2019 Lincoln Navigator on my usual 80-mile evaluation route just wouldn't be sufficient. The quick jaunt through downtown Portland and out into wooded mountain roads couldn't possibly do justice to a vehicle intended for the literal long haul. All those seats; all that cargo space; all that comfort and opulence. What the Navigator needed was a road trip, so I took two of them — within five days, over 900 miles and a grand total of 20 hours and 17 minutes in the 24-way power-adjustable, massaging, ventilated saddle. The first journey would be from Portland down to Bend, Ore., and then working my way gradually back through central Oregon backroads. This included winding two-lane highways where the Navigator's excellent adaptive cruise control system maintained its distance (and my sanity) when stuck behind parades of Outbacks, before the 450-horsepower EcoBoost V6 of Raptor fame could dispatch them from across the dotted yellow line. Enough really can't be said about how masterful this engine is — so smooth, so powerful and so quiet. It's perfect for a Lincoln. It also got 20 mpg over the course of the full 900 miles, which compares to the EPA's 21 mpg highway rating. Pretty good given the mountainous terrain and the liberal throttle applied to keep up with a pair of substantially sportier cars I was trailing as part of a photo shoot. Not that the Navigator was really able to keep up with anything once the road got tighter and twistier through the lava fields of the Willamette National Forest. Though I still concur with my initial praise of the Navigator's independent rear suspension and steering that "provides consistent, appropriate and reassuring weighting," there's no getting around the laws of physics. This is a gigantic land craft pushing three tons that's best kept at a relaxed pace – also perfect for a Lincoln. As for the ride, which disappointed during my Navigator first drive in Southern California, the "omnipresent nervousness" I reported didn't really materialize on better pavement in Oregon and later in Washington. True, it's not quite as supple as a unibody Range Rover or Mercedes GLS would be, but it doesn't suffer from the near constant vibration over even the smallest bumps you get in a Chevy Suburban or GMC Yukon XL. On the subject of comfort, though, those 24-way front seats can't be ignored.
2019 Lincoln Nautilus commercials bring back Matthew McConaughey, plus pool
Fri, Dec 21 2018It's that time of year again, folks, time for another kind of strange, awkward Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercial. And, yes, checking back when each ad comes out, it's usually in Decemeber or near the end of the year that these ads are released. This latest ad has the actor hanging out with a group of friends having a generic conversation about something over dinner. They all then head inside, and McConaughey breaks away from the group to walk to a pool table, and he promptly makes a trick shot on the pool table while a woman says "I've never seen that before." This leads to clips of McConaughey getting into a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus and driving it on beautiful backroads. And before he starts driving, there's a shot of the instrument cluster with a bunch of driver aid options displayed. The woman's words come in again, and he follows it up with his own words, "I have." This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Basically, the idea is that the trick shot of the cue ball threading between other billiard balls is like how the Lincoln driver aids help keep the Nautilus under control. Except it's a vague, awkward way of doing it, which is also par (above par?) for the course of McConaughey Lincoln ads. A much better ad accompanies the actor's version. This one features a real trick pool player making some clever shots to illustrate the individual features available on the luxury crossover. They're legitimately nifty shots, and the features are clearly explained. Maybe all of Lincoln's ads should have this pool player. Related Video:
Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
