The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The car is in excellent condition, runs and drives great with no problems. No rust ever. The engine does run a little rough when it's cold, but starts right up and doesn't burn any oil. No oil leaks, transmission shifts smooth, tires are in good condition, brakes were just done. Everything works except the clock. Power seats, power antenna and power seats all work fine. There are a couple of small dings in the trim on the top of the left front fender (see pics) and the trim above the right rear quarter panel. The body has zero dings or dents. Windows have no chips or cracks at all. The chrome is a little faded, but there are no dents or dings on any of the bumpers. Some of the stainless trim is a little faded also, but everything is otherwise in great shape. The interior is nearly flawless, no cracks or cuts in the dash at all. The leather seats show very little wear, the carpet is in great shape with no stains. One small defect in the rear seat, see pics."

This is a 1979 Lincoln Continental with 70,100 original miles. From my understanding this is the last year of the huge Lincolns, folks I am no car expert, I bought the car because it was so cool and I always wanted one, unfortunately I need the money and the car has to go. The car is in outstanding condition with absolutely no rust, and I was told it was stored in a heated warehouse for many years. There is a small rust bubble near the pass rear door, it is NOT a hole. There's no way a car that's 33 years old can be in this good of condition stored in a barn in Northeast Ohio, so the warehouse story sounds probable. The car runs and drives great, I acquired the car a year ago, and fixed some minor problems such as a missing emblem in the steering wheel, had the brakes re-done (even the brake drums have the original factory paint marks). It does run a little rough when it's cold, probably could use a carb rebuild since a tune up didn't help. The car is complete and unrestored and from what we can tell everything is original except the battery and the A/C compressor.

The car was Factory Undercoated (I think this was actually done at the dealership), but the undercoating is in great shape and not peeling. Some kind of spray was applied to the engine compartment, which looks weathered, but everything, including the vacuum canisters, look new with NO rust. The vinyl top has NO cuts or wear, the interior is in fantastic condition, except for a small wear mark on the rear seat. The trunk has all the mats that are UNSTAINED and like new, the jack looks like it has never been taken out of its holder. The paint is in excellent shape, but it does look like someone buffed the heck out of it and there are some swirl marks. The only thing that doesn't work is the Cartier clock. This car needs nothing and can be driven anywhere. The brakes are VERY touchy, it'll lock up all 4 tires easily to bring the beast to a halt.

Included are the original owner's manual, and original warranty card. Don't know if the 8-track works, I don't have a good tape and don't want to ruin it if the tape gets eaten. The power antenna is very cool and works fine.

Wow, does this car drive nice. It floats down the road and gets up to 70mph before you know it. Just sitting behind the wheel with that huge hood in front of you, how cool is that? What a land yacht.Gosh, wish I could upload more pics so that I could show every little ding and the entire car, I try to represent the car as accurately as possible. Take a look at my satisfaction rating (100%), and I intend to keep it. Since I've sold a couple of my cars on Ebay, all the buyer's were happy. The car isn't mint or perfect or a museum piece, but for the price, well..it is a real head-turner and fun to drive. If you wanted to restore it, everything is there, and it would be an easy restoration. Good luck bidding, serious buyers please submit questions and we can get in touch to answer any questions you may have.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees andÂ Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVsÂ like theÂ Tesla Model XÂ and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like theÂ BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.Â But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.Â Best Subcompact Luxury SUVÂ Â |Â Â Best Compact Luxury SUVÂ Â |Â Â Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)Â Â |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)Â Â |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)Â Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out:Â Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better:Â Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded,Â non-luxuryÂ compactÂ SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.Â Â Â Volvo XC40 Why it stands out:Â More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better:Â Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.

Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.

Is Lincoln working on a Continental concept?

Wed, Mar 25 2015

The Lincoln Continental wasn't included in our post on the list of trademarks we'd like to see turned into production vehicles – the only Lincoln mention was our idea of transferring its Aviator name to a special edition Ford Mustang. But, like you, the idea of a resurrected Continental is always with us, especially when we read articles about the brand's efforts to redefine American luxury. Ford applied for the Continental trademark in 1953 and renewed in 2005, and it appears they might have something to show for it soon. A web snooper found a development site at the Lincoln domain that introduces us to the "elegantly styled and boldly distinctive Lincoln Continental Concept." There are no images, but we've combined all the text into a single image, above, and the hints we get in three blurb texts inform us that "It represents who we are as a carmaker," that it's an "envisioning of what's to come," that "No question went unanswered" and "No answer went unchallenged," and that it "is everything we know about cars, and everything we understand about people." We also found the tagline "Follow us forward," which doesn't appear on any published Lincoln site page at the moment, and the public is invited to get involved (eventually) by tweeting Continental stories and photos. Could this be the next step in the turgid drama Lincoln Rising? We look forward to finding out. Related Video:
