1970 Lincoln Continental 2-door Hard Top Coupe on 2040-cars
Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States
Relisted do to wrong catagory!
For sale is a 1970 Lincoln hard-top 2 door coupe. From what I've been told there were less than 2500 of these ever made. I have the original dealership code list if anyone has any questions or wants to know the numbers to decode. The car runs and drives great! That however doesn't mean it doesn't need a complete ground-up rebuild. While the 1970 D0VE engine performs quite well, the outside is getting rusty. Has vacuum controlled power-locks. Vacuum controlled opening headlights and original wheel covers. It comes with all the original parts like intake manifold, carb, etc if you want it numbers matching. If you were to restore this to like-new condition I don't doubt it would bring 100k at auction as rare as it is. Please, be my guest, search all of the internets and try to find one, you likely will not find so much of a picture of this car, let alone the car itself. There is one additional one that I'm aware of and the gentleman that owns it is en Europe. Yes, it's rough I know. Yes, you can come check her out. I drive her in the summers here any there mostly to my buddies farm about 5 miles up the road from mine. She has a mild cam, new water pump, new intake manifold (Weiand hi-rise), new carb, holley vacuum secondary with a QFT kit put on her so you can change the all the jets instead of messing with fuel plates. Do some research and find out what you can about this model, if it's something you want go ahead and bid, if not, she'll go back in the barn 'til Spring. If you're someone famous like gas monkey garage or jesse james than I darn well better get on tv and want to see what she looks like when you're done. You're welcome to come look at her, hear her start, idle, run, etc. Send me an ebay message with your phone number and I'll answer any questions you have about the car or the dealer-delivery statement. I'm only the second owner of this car, the orginal one was an elderly retired dentist. This is one of the largest cars ever produced, especially for a 2--door model, with both doors open the wingspan is nearly 15 feet across.
VIN: 0Y81A843773 I have tons of paperwork for everything the first owner did to the car, including documentation that he was indeed a doctor. I have original owner's manual and dealer's window print out.
Car is in Lima, OH
I believe the mileage says 34000 but the odometer doesn't work well. Exact mileage unknown.
Feel free to msg me any questions or with your phone number so we can talk, hear it run, etc; or to request additional pictures

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
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.
2019 Lincoln Nautilus First Drive Review | A refresh that's more than skin deep
Fri, Sep 21 2018SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Its name is new, but the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus is really a rebranded, restyled and updated version of the second-generation Lincoln MKX, which has been on sale since 2016. Renaming your bestselling vehicle is risky, but Lincoln has been struggling, and it feels the names of its vehicles are partly to blame. Recall that since 2007, Ford's luxury brand has used letters to name some models, including MKZ and MKX, and traditional names on others like Navigator and Continental. Well, now it's ditching the letters and renaming those vehicles. The MKX is now the Nautilus. The smaller MKC is rumored to become the Corsair, which was a name used by Edsel back in the 1950s. The seven-passenger Aviator will go on sale in 2019, and the MKZ's new name is anybody's guess. Zephyr again, maybe? NordicTrack is already taken. Lincoln has also been rolling out a new grille design, which debuted on the Continental in 2017 and replaces the unloved winged look that was supposed to remind luxury buyers of the elegance of the 1939 Lincoln Continental — but didn't. Fitting the new grille to the 2019 Nautilus completes that rollout, and the five-passenger SUV is certainly more handsome than before. Its mesh is a repetition of the Lincoln Star logo, and it works. The SUV's front fascia, headlamps and hood are new as well, and the hood has grown a sizable and attractive center peak. Underneath that hood is a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with direct injection. It's the same engine used in the smaller MKC and the Ford Edge, which shares the Nautilus' chassis, but Lincoln doesn't use the name EcoBoost for this and its other powerplants. The 2.0-liter replaces the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 as the standard engine, and it's rated 250 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm on 93 octane fuel. Those numbers are down from the V6, which was rated 303 hp at 6,500 rpm and 278 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. But Lincoln has also replaced the antiquated six-speed automatic transmission with an eight-speed, so overall performance is comparable, and city fuel economy is up significantly. With the V6 and front-wheel drive, the MKX was rated 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. The new combination has a 21 mpg city rating. The considerably more powerful twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 remains optional, rated 335 hp at 5500 rpm and 380 lb-ft of torque at 3250 rpm.
