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 |

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
Weekly Recap: Revisting the BBC report that ended Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear run
Sat, Mar 28 2015Jeremy Clarkson's long run as a Top Gear host has come to an end, and the reason is clear: His physical assault on one of the show's producers crossed a line, and the government-owned BBC couldn't tolerate it. The incident between Clarkson and Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon was initially described as a "fracas," and Clarkson was suspended. But his popularity and widespread support – even British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in – suggested that the controversial Clarkson might be given yet another chance. The BBC put this to rest Wednesday when it sacked Clarkson and revealed the findings of its investigation. The report spelled out how Clarkson struck Tymon on the patio of a North Yorkshire (UK) hotel, leaving him with a bloodied, swollen lip. It was severe enough that the producer sought medical treatment. During and after the attack, Clarkson shouted expletives at Tymon and threatened to fire him. The noise carried into the hotel's dining room and even to a bedroom. Local police investigated the incident, but Tymon isn't pressing charges. The huge audience numbers, Clarkson's popularity and the high-octane excitement of Top Gear all melted away in the eyes of BBC director-general Tony Hall, who saw an attacker and a victim. "For me a line has been crossed," he said in a statement. "There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations." In that moment, Clarkson was the bad guy, though he was actually the one who reported it to the network and made repeated attempts to apologize to Tymon. He's also urged the media to leave the producer alone. Hall voiced regret in the statement that announced Clarkson's contract would not be renewed, but the BBC decided to move on. Rumors are swirling about possible replacements for Clarkson. The network says it wants to continue Top Gear in 2016 and is looking to air the rest of this season's episodes. Despite the controversy, the show has a global audience of 350 million viewers and is one of the BBC's most valuable properties. It's unclear what Clarkson's co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond, will do, as their contracts were also reportedly up to be renewed.
