Up for sale is my personal 1979 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 4 DOOR COLLECTOR SERIES. The exterior is dark blue and the interior is dark blue leather. Drivetrain is a 6.6 400ci V8 with a C6 transmission. Luxuries include, power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, dual power seats, cruise control, AM/FM 8 track, Cartier clock, Collector Series equipment which includes, color coded turbine wheels, gold emblems, grill,and stripes, port hole delete in the top, matching trunk carpet and complete tool kit. 

I have recently gone through this whole car mechanically and have done, air filter and breather, oil and filter change, sparkplugs, cap, rotor, pcv, front and rear brakes, new headlight switch and headlight door actuator, brand new power antenna assembly. Inside I replaced and repaired the door lock actuators, left rear power window motor and track, replaced the fuel guage. I have installed a new Interstate battery last year with a battery store cutoff. I have just installed a new correct radiator. I have installed a new vinyl top and have detalied the car from top to bottom. It runs and drives like when it was brand new. I have the original owners manual and build sheet as I purchased it from the original owner. My best friend was the original owners aunt, I know this car since new.

The body is really nice but does have a few rust bubbles mostly above the tail lights. It has a rust hole in the right rear lower quarter panel, and a few in the door jambs. The body was painted in the early 90s. The paint is really nice and shines beautifully but it is not show quality and has a few blemishes. The hood has acid rain stains but is really only noticeable in the garage under the flourescent lamps. All the trim is really nice. The interior is like new and I have purchased and installed the original floor mats since the picture was taken.  The woodgrain on the steering wheel is a little faded. I replaced the rear package tray with new correct fabric. Underneath is all original and soild, normal surface rust but no holes anywhere. Has the normal oil sweating from sitting around, but nothing major. Also the muffler was just replaced. The air conditioning compressor needs a front seal as it leaks freon, it has been converted to 194A, it blows ICE COLD for the season but needs to be charged every year. 

Overall this is a beautiful driver quality car that gets lots of looks at the car shows and cruise nights. This car is nice enough to take anywhere, but not have to worry about enjoying it. I drive this car often when the weather allows, and is always garage kept. I purchased a car cover to keep the dust off while in the garage, it has a few tears from the car being so big, but will include it in the sale, along with a few 8 track tapes I have for it. I change the oil once a year, and have a bunch of extra filters I will include also.

I have tried to describe this car the best as I remember sitting here typing this.  Car is able to be viewed and driven if desired. I am selling it because i just purchased a new GMC truck, and would like to keep it in the garage. Please dont waste my time, I wont waste yours. Please ask all questions before bidding. Check my feedbacks and bid with confidence. Buyer is responsible for shipping charges, but will help anyway possible to make transaction go smoothly.. Thanks for looking and good luck.

Lexus ES 350 vs. Lincoln MKZ

Tue, Jun 6 2017

Despite a lineup of well-received crossovers on the Lexus showroom, the midsize Lexus ES 350 four-door continues to appeal to consumers. Many of those customers are older, so you won't see marketing budgets directed toward them; no one, other than the pharmaceutical companies, is spending money marketing to baby boomers. But a midsize, moderately expressive sedan with an easy buying experience and almost coddled ownership still has its fans, and the Lexus ES 350 delivers those attributes in spades. We'd like to say Lincoln's MKZ (pictured above) is hot on the Lexus' heels, but Lincoln's lineup remains a work in progress. The Fusion-based MKZ offers a nice mix of attributes, but Lincoln's dealer count has shrunk, and many Lincoln outlets are located within – or immediately adjacent to – Ford stores. If a Fusion-based Lincoln credibly aspires to Lexus-like attributes, the same won't be said for the Ford showrooms. Here are the offerings: The Lexus ES 350 team has, over the sedan's several variations, worked hard to separate the volume Lexus from Toyota's similar Camry, and in 2017 that separation might actually be quantifiable. To its credit, the ES 350 (pictured at left) comes with but one non-hybrid drivetrain, a 3.5 liter V6 connected to a six-speed automatic driving the front wheels. With it, the ES 350 delivers a motoring experience bordering on the sublime. With the exception of its now-predictable big mouth grille, the balance of the ES sheetmetal is responsibly muted, inoffensive to the eye and should wear well through the typical payment cycle. Access to its moderately upscale interior is easy, and once inside you'll find expansive room (some 100 cubic feet) for four, along with adequate space for the occasional fifth. With a curb weight of just 3,600 pounds, the V6's 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque is responsive, and that's evident in the four-door's 7-second sprint to 60. This isn't a track day or autocross weapon, but if part of your day is a stressful commute, this will make it less so. With a base – albeit well appointed – spec, the ES 350 retails for just under $40,000. We would order ours in Atomic Silver, even if "atomic" seems so last-century. If you can forget – for a minute – the Matthew McConaughey connection, know that Lincoln's MKZ is fully credible as a midsize, mid-fashion sedan. If you like your Fords with more expressive interiors and additional driving refinement, there's a lot to like in Lincoln's MKZ.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016

Thu, Jan 26 2017

Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
