1972 Lincoln Continental 8 Passanger Limosine ~ Time Capsole, 85k Original Miles on 2040-cars
Lenexa, Kansas, United States
|
1972 Lincoln Continental Limousine ~ goes by the name "Large Marge" ~ Very nice shape, with 85k original miles, runs & drives excellent. Original 460-4V V8 engine with Automatic Transmission, both were professionally rebuilt in the past, car starts right up, runs good, shifts good, idles good at stoplights, just like it should. Tires are a nice set of matching Michelins that are like new. All lights work, even the reverse lights. Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows & Sunroof (all work, some need help closing/ rolling up), factory rear-air unit (works), factory 8 trac player built into dash, and another 8 track player built into wall of passenger rear seating area. There is also a factory built in Cassette player and clock on the opposite side of the rear seating area. I do not have 8 tracs or tapes to try these out, they look to be in nice shape. There used to be a TV mounted between the backwards seats, which is why the big antenna is on the trunk. The antenna is removable, and is even seen off the car in one of the pictures. There is one small hole drilled in the decklid for the mounting of the antenna, and the back mounts are just suction cups, so removing the antenna if not wanted is not a problem. I have been told this is a PRESIDENTIAL LIMO because it has the flag holders mounted to the front fenders... I don't know enough about these cars to know if that's true or not, but you could put flags on your fenders if you want to, I have the poles that go in there as well. This car is incredibly solid, NO RUST HOLES ANYWHERE that I cans see, even the frame and floors, and quarter panels are rock solid! Paint is old and shows its age, it has little dings, 2 dents in the whole car (one up front on the inside of the passage side front point, the other on the drivers side rear quarter in front of the rear wheel). Overall, this car is in very nice shape, especially for its age and never being restored. This is a unique opportunity to own a very neat, collectable car that is ready to drive and enjoy now. Buy this car and have someone drive you around town in it... :)
Interior is nice for being original, dash has a few small cracks, due to its age. The carpet is a little faded, but nice shape and all original. Power locks work when they want to, due to age. Headliner is perfect. Door panels are nice, the arm rests are showing their age and have plastic filler pieces cracked up, I am including a nice original full set to replace the original set in the car still. The cool Flip-up / hideaway headlights work when car is running and lights are turned on or off. Wipers work good, heater and air vents blow properly. Never tried the AC (always had the windows down, sunroof back) but its all there and belt still hooked up to compressor. Very comfortable car to sit in/ ride in/ or drive. Carpeted trunk, with full size spare, and access to President rear-air unit. Car also comes with a folder full of receipts and paperwork from work done on this car over the years. This car is tagged, insured, and driven at least once a week... You would not believe the LOOKERS and the smiles this car brings to everyone's faces when we drive it! Large Marge draws a crowd wherever we drive her. Hate to sell, bought a new truck, need to find my limo a new home. Clean Kansas title in my name.
Runs & Drives Great! Fly into Kansas City KCI Airport and drive it home! A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours after the auctions end, so I know I have a serious buyer. The remaining balance is due within 7 days after auctions end. If paying with a cashiers check or money order, your payment must clear my bank before you take possession of the car or have a shipper pick it up. Please be sure to email me with any questions, I'm a nice guy and easy to work with. I live right off I-35 in the South-West part of the Kansas City area, in Lenexa Kansas. Don't miss your chance to own a very unique classic car in very good shape, for a great price! Lets find LARGE MARGE a new home! |

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
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.
Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent
Mon, Dec 11 2017Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
