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

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Lincoln considering giving cars real names again
Wed, Apr 22 2015Enthusiastic reaction to the Continental concept might be the death knell for Lincoln's alphabet soup of monikers. "Without divulging the future, we're very excited about the Continental name and the attention it's gotten," Ford President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs said to Automotive News. Hinrichs admitted that the current MK names could confuse those not familiar with the models. Hinrichs suggested that one way Lincoln might differentiate itself was to "leverage its heritage." While this is certainly nothing explicit, the talk could be an indication of an upcoming overhaul for the brand's naming scheme. The Continental is set to hit the market next year as a replacement for the MKS as the company makes a major push into China. Lincoln bosses reportedly gave the designers the model name as inspiration for what to create. The brand's health has slowly been improving since former Ford CEO Alan Mulally was ready to completely kill the brand. Last year, a new boss was appointed to the helm, and there were reports of a modular platform under development. Let us know in Comments what Lincoln names you want to see revived. The Town Car is likely the best-known model from the brand after the Continental, and Zephyr has fairly recent history as the brief moniker for the MKZ. Related Video:
