1968 Lincoln Continental Base 7.6l on 2040-cars
Richardson, Texas, United States
Up for sale is my dream car that has had a lot of time, money and love put into it… I’ve decided to pursue an Executive MBA$, so I need to liquidate asap… I’ve spent a fortune on it so far and I realize I’ll only recoup a fraction of the effort… I'm hoping for a great owner that will enjoy the car. The continental has only 2 documented owners. I even have the original line ticket, plus other documentation and brochures!!! It was a barn find that was saved and preserved (stored on jack stands and covered in a dry shop) until the restoration began. This is now a running, driving, stopping, great looking driver\project that needs the details completed to be a daily driver. The good to great! · A very high\expensive quality paint and body. The body is so straight with no waves, that’s hard to do, since its soooo long 221”….obviously no rust. One negative area, the diameter of a penny where the clear coat flacked off, on the hood. · Rebuilt engine 462 – under 500 miles on it. I start it up and drive around the block once a week or so. · Rebuilt transmission · New master cylinder and booster, and all new brake components · Professionally polished trim – one ding above passenger window · Re-chrome bumpers · New light lenses · New wheels · New tires · New glass · New leather seats - front and back, · New carpet · New leather headliner · New leather front dash, rear was not done yet What a start, all the aesthetics are complete… Adding the receipts plus a conservative value of the base vehicle that’s nearly 25K$... The future needs of the car- The vehicle is currently at a classic car dealer getting the electrical sorted out. I’m not sure how much they will complete prior to the auction ending. The car runs, drives and stops very well. But assume the lights, seat and power windows are not all functioning. Also, the AC is not holding Freon-but blows; they were tracking down the leak. The heater core and cruise control bladder need replacing. If I had the luxury, I would allow the classic car dealer tocomplete the repairs and ask a premium for car. But, unfortunately i need to sell quickly , so I'll have to hope a buyer has the vision I did for the car. Oh, since the car is at the shop, I'm not able to take additional photos of the interior or engine at this current time. But it is very clean! Best of luck, CW |

Lincoln's first shipment of cars arrives in China
Mon, 15 Sep 2014It has been two years since Lincoln first announced its plans to expand into China, and the first models destined for sale in the giant automotive market just came off the boat in Shanghai on September 10. It's going to be a few weeks before Chinese buyers actually have the chance to get behind the wheel, though.
The first two models being offered to China are the MKZ and MKC, as seen arriving in these photos, and they are going to be sold at dealers that look more like hotels than traditional showrooms. The first four are opening in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou in October, with a grand unveiling of the new brand to Chinese consumers later that month. By the end of the year, Lincoln wants to have eight dealers operating in seven cities. By 2016, the automaker wants to have a lineup of five models available in the People's Republic.
"This is the culmination of months of teamwork and collaboration both in North America and here in China," said Robert Parker, President of Lincoln China, in the company's release.
Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost
Thu, 05 Jun 2014As the first 2015 MKC crossovers slip into dealerships, Lincoln has confirmed power and fuel economy ratings for the compact crossover's optional 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine.
The new range-topping powerplant, thus far otherwise unavailable in the Blue Oval kingdom, will net a healthy 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque from 2,750 revs. Those figures represent gains of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft over earlier estimates, putting the handsome new compact CUV in the hunt with up-engined rivals from Audi and BMW. (A variant of the 2.3L will shortly find its way into the engine bay of the 2015 Ford Mustang, albeit with a number of key changes, including north-south orientation.)
In the MKC, the new engine will net 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it only loses a single mile per gallon in the city cycle versus the 240-hp, 270-lb-ft 2.0L EcoBoost model when fitted with all-wheel drive. Both engines rely on the same six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
