1969 Lincoln Continental You are looking at a piece of history; a 1969 Lincoln Continental. It is very hard to even find pieces to these cars, let alone find a whole car, and one that could run and drive with very minor repairs. This car is currently in “project” form. This is NOT a show car by any means and has not been restored. It has been left in its “original” condition and will make for an absolutely great restoration project. Once this car is in running condition, you will not be able to pull it out of the driveway without someone asking you questions about it or people taking pictures of it. It will be an absolute blast to own and drive. After a complete restoration, you would have one very rare and hard to find car.
This is a true “barn find.” It was bought after sitting in a barn for a very long time. It was parked there untouched for years, making this an even rarer find. You find Lincoln’s all over the place that have been highly modified, but not this one. You are being given the chance to own a car that will make for a great project. It would be very hard to even put a price on this car after a complete restoration was completed.
The following is what makes this car such a great vehicle:
THE GOOD: - CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IN HAND - VIN: 9Y82A885400 - 49,750 miles - 460 V8 Engine - All original car - Very solid inside and out - Will fire and run (idle) - True barn find - All trim pieces are present - All glass is present - All chrome is present - A complete interior is present - All lights are present - Power everything - New battery - New tires - Suicide rear doors - Minor rust - Badges are present - Great looking under body - Top is in fair shape - Mirrors are present - Body is very solid - Original steering wheel and dash - Clock in passenger dash - Seats are in great shape - A luxury vehicle in its day - Comfortable and spacious - Motor is complete - MUST SEE IN PERSON THE BAD: - Has been sitting for over five years. - It will start and run, but certainly needs a good tune up. - The brakes feel soft, therefore it is NOT listing as a RUNNING and DRIVING car. - Power window switch has a short in it. They do work sometimes. - Looks to have been repainted at one time, but it is hard to tell. - Some interior pieces of the drive door panel are loose. - The headliner on the drive side has a hole in it. - The car will have to be towed/hauled to its destination. - The exact mileage is unknown. The dash reads 49,750.
I know I am forgetting a few things, but I have done my best to list everything that this car has or includes. You will be very pleased with the attention it gets after it has been restored, or even in the condition is currently sits. There are endless possibilities with this car. You could literally leave it exactly as it sits, tune it up, and drive it for years. You could invest thousands in order to make it the fully restored piece of history. You could install your choice of replacement parts to have the car meet your preferences. The list goes on and on forever. This is a 1969 Lincoln Continental! There is no other car like it, and it is by far the coolest vehicle I have ever seen.
Please, keep in mind this vehicle is considered an antique. It is by no means a show car or a “perfect” condition car. You absolutely must see it in person to appreciate it! I will not haul the car for you to decide if you like it or not.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
Oh look, it's the 2017 Lincoln Continental
Thu, Jan 7 2016Sorry about the super-low-res photo, but what you're looking at here is the 2017 Lincoln Continental ahead of its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. The image appeared online courtesy of Ford Inside News, showing the production version of Lincoln's new 400-horsepower sedan. The front fascia certainly looks different than the gussied-up concept we first saw in New York last year, but as the Ford forum suggests, this could just be a lower-spec model. Seems weird to us that Lincoln would introduce some snazzy, full-LED headlights and then just slap projector beam units on the actual production car. But you never know. We'll know for sure when the car is revealed at Cobo Hall next week. Expect it to have all-wheel drive with the company's new 400-hp, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 (that debuted in the MKZ in Los Angeles). Let us know what you think of the production-spec Conti, in Comments. Related Video:
