Up for sale is an immaculate 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 fully bagged and in a perfect black on black paint and interior combination. This epic 19 foot or 5.8 meter land yacht is quite possibly the longest and the last of the massive 2 door America cars. As the absolute epitome of luxury in its day, the Mk5 is one of the most comfortable and highly factory optioned cars America ever produced. From the signature Cartier clock, to the walnut dash and steering wheel inlays, the ridiculously comfortable double padded leather seats and every power option imaginable, driving this rolling palace always leaves a smile on your face.

This gorgeous one owner all original example has been garage kept and a cozy 72 degrees almost its whole life, and has not seen a drop of rain since 1982! Needless to say this is a completely rust free car as evident by its showroom quality perfectly straight original black paint.

For the ultimate cruiser feel, and because this massive car just looks so sweet laid flat on the ground, the Lincoln has been fitted with a custom Air Ride Tech air bag kit. Starting with a Big Red solenoid kit to cope with the impressive 5,042 pound or 2.3 ton curb weight of the Mk5, a pair of 5 gallon tanks and twin compressors give you full adjustability through the RidePro digital control system. Helping the Continental get that perfect slammed stance are a set of 14x7 Zenith wire wheels with real knock-offs.

Both compressors and tanks are custom fitted in the trunk along with components from the new custom sound system. Only the best JL Audio components were used, including a pair of W6 10 inch subwoofers in a custom wrapped box to match the trunk and a pair of 300/4 amplifiers. On the dash replacing the factory stereo is a Kenwood head unit. 

With only 49,000 miles on the all original 6.6L 400CI Cleveland v8 engine, this strip and show cruiser has many more years to give. This is your chance to own an absolute crowd pleaser, guaranteed to get smiles and thumbs up from anyone you pass, this timeless classic really has to be seen to be appreciated. Whether it be the arrow straight roads of the high desert, or a nostalgia festival in car crazy Scandinavia, to a traditional lowrider show at Mooneyes Tokyo, this pristine 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 is an absolute joy to drive.

Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners

Fri, Dec 2 2016

Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.

The Lincoln Continental is back [w/videos]

Mon, Mar 30 2015

Lincoln is making a huge splash in New York this week, rolling out the Continental Concept you see here. Not only does this bring back an iconic bit of Lincoln nomenclature (just as some competitors are making things more complicated), it previews the new Continental fullsize sedan that will come to market next year. This is "a concept which for us signals the future of what we call quiet luxury," Ford Motor Company president and CEO, Mark Fields, said during an event Sunday. "The Concept is a very strong hint – I'll underline very strong hint – as to what you'll see in the production vehicle." There's no other way to say it: the Continental looks stunning. It's a long, low-slung sedan, with a shape that's reminiscent of the Ford Interceptor Concept from 2007. But this thing is all Lincoln, and shows a host of new design cues that will no doubt work their way across the brand's range. Most notably, the split-wing grille is gone, with this new chrome centerpiece showing a "new face for Lincoln" (where have we heard that before?). The Continental also incorporates LED matrix headlamps, with laser-assist high-beams and tiny Lincoln logos embedded inside. For the doors, Lincoln uses "E-Latch" handles that tuck discretely into the Continental's beltine. The concept rolls on polished aluminum, 21-inch wheels with painted pockets. Up above, the Continental has a SPD SmartGlass tinting sunroof that can keep the interior up to 18 degrees cooler. Around back, the Continental has a wide, planted stance, with taillamps that stretch from side to side. These lamps have "light-through-chrome" technology, which means they have a chrome look when not illuminated. Rounding out the whole design are slim, wide exhaust outlets that look fantastic. The main focus of the Continental is luxury, and Lincoln says this car uses "the brand's most sensual materials ever." That includes Venetian leather seats and door panels, Alcantara on the seat inserts and armrests, a satin headliner and wool carpet. Lighting is also a key feature, with an ambient glow that radiates throughout the cabin and "soft-gold" LED lights in the center console. As for comfort, the Continental's 30-way seats are said to mold to passengers' sizes and shapes. Rear seat passengers have it best, though, with a two-seat layout, tray tables, a champagne storage compartment, and detachable, handmade Venetian leather travel cases.
