Continuing...."1987 Lincoln Continental Excellent Running, Clean Cherry California Classic Fully Loaded.  Runs Excellent. Near Show Quality In & Out *. Extras!Only 75,000 Miles. California Garage-Kept mostly Indoors. Only 1 previous owner!  Original Vintage Glove Box Manuals, Vintage DMV Documents from 1987, and other extras. Base Model with original Givenchy logo on inside dash, I believe indicating such Choice Styling / Trim & Similar Color Options except for no Two-Tone Paint & No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats.

Although this is documented in some Car Histories as the Base Model it appears that in this 1987, last year of this styling, my car was offered with some extra styling options and a Givenchy logo on the inside dash indicating it has Givenchy Styling / Trim and Similar Color Options except for no Two Tone Paint and No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats. 

In addition to running excellent it has  Near Mint / Near Show In & Out w Extras! No Tears, No Rips, Very Few Dings / Scratches (See Extensive pics) Good Anti-Lock Brakes although the light comes on and I don't know why, Good Air Ride Suspension with Curbside Adjustment Feature = sometimes the drivers front air shock takes a little longer to fill but rides good when filled, will eventually need to be looked at or replaced, the drivers air shock does slowly empty while driving longer distances or on roads with sharp curves, i was told it may be an easy electrical module fix, (or for your awareness, I was also told that some owners of this type of vehicle like to convert the shocks with a fairly easy and affordable conversion kit).  Some areas of attention: original valve covers are probably in need of a basic tightening or valve cover for preventing oil moisture around a bottom valve covers.

Other History When We Purchased This Continental Locally:

 - We bought it from original owners in about Summer 2012
 - Previous to us the Continental sat at owners / home garage for several years as owner became ill.
 - Vehicle was periodically turned on and warmed up during sitting time of approximately 6 years.
 - Once we purchased vehicle it had been taken out of the garage a few months prior.
 - Battery on Vehicle was weak and it was replaced.
 - Upon doing so all gauges and operational motor / drive train became operational
 - At that time before battery change the digital odometer displayed original miles once car was turned on of exactly 67,437.
 - After battery change the odometer read "ERROR" and displayed no mileage. (We immediately started documenting every mile that we have put on the car hence forth via internal mileage gauge and wrote it down on a register we keep in the glove compartment)
 - For a few weeks that is all it read "ERROR"
 - Then, spontaneously one day it reset itself at: "000000.0" and started accurate displayed mileage from that point until today...where it reads "6,240" miles
 - Additionally we started researching odometer repair options and found several solutions online that we documented but did not purchase or move forward on.
 - Such solutions included a new odometer module that could be replaced in the dash and such new module would read original mileage in the car's computer and display it properly.
 - Such odometer repair parts are reasonably priced and available third party online/ebay etc. and require minimal removal of front dash plastic panel and some electrical steps in order to repair.
 - This we leave to the buyer to handle and have not considered such repair as we are selling car.
 - Actual Verifiable Mileage Displayed on Car and our registered odometer notes by hand bring mileage to 78,403 to date.  Such copies of documents and dates are available for examination at any time by bidders/buyer.
 - Regarding Vehicle Vin History Reports containing odometer reports, our records should agree with them. Note: In 2012 upon registering and California Smog inspections, such documented mileage was reported and is documented at exactly 70,203 in such vin / vehicle histories as well. California dmv, though, is mileage exempt for reporting purposes for older cars. While we did not run our own extensive CarFax for odometer purposes, others may feel free to do so. 

We did run a preliminary vin history with basic odometer report from a third party online report and such mileage does appear as stated as well as other facts that show the vehicle as clearing most of the major points one might be concerned about and we find nothing out of the ordinary to report via such history report. Our purchased basic report is available for review as an electronic document to whomever would want to review it.  An excerpt is below

Ford recalls more than 550,000 trucks and SUVs for various safety issues

Wed, Aug 12 2020

Ford announced safety recalls for its current F-150 pickup along with several Ford and Lincoln crossovers early Wednesday. The recalls cover more than 550,000 vehicles and address various safety defects, ranging from a fire hazard to potential loss of braking power.  The most far-reaching of the recalls covers approximately 550,000 examples of the 2015-2018 Ford Edge and 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, which may have been assembled with defective front brake jounce hoses (also commonly referred to as "flex lines"). These hoses run from fixed points on the chassis to the individual front brake calipers. Defective hoses could potentially rupture, allowing brake fluid to leak and resulting in a loss of braking function. Ford will replace the components in question with revised parts.  The next-largest recall is for roughly 3,000 2020 Lincoln Corsair crossovers. The affected models may have been assembled without proper clearance between their rear suspension springs and toe link brackets. The components could potentially make contact, wearing down the protective coating on the rear coil springs, allowing corrosion to occur over time. This corrosion could eventually lead to a failure of the spring. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a sudden change to the vehicle's handling characteristics, and the spring fragments could potentially cause further damage to the car or surrounding traffic.  Ford says owners will be notified that their Corsairs need to be inspected; if there is not adequate clearance between the rear suspension components, Ford's service technicians will remove material from the toe link bracket to allow for operation without contact.  The final (and by far the smallest) recall is for the 2020 F-150. Some units may have left the factory with the incorrect retention nut on the hot lead to the starter motor. Ford says it can cause increased heat generation or electrical arcing, which could potentially result in a fire. Ford says this issue is limited to just a few hundred examples sold in the United States. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the nut if necessary.       

Lincoln Navigator is the people's choice for best of Detroit Auto Show

Wed, Jan 24 2018

At a big auto show, you hear a lot of from automotive journalists about the outstanding cars on display — for example, Autoblog's own editors' choices from the Detroit Auto Show. But the Detroit News does something neat instead. It asks the public to vote in its annual Readers' Choice Awards. And coming out on top was the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. The newspaper collars 100 attendees at the North American International Auto Show and asks them to vote. This year, the public's pick as Best of Show coincided with the North American Car of the Year voters, journalists who picked the Navigator as the Truck of the Year. (We at Autoblog were wowed by the Navigator, too, but our editors' choices were limited to vehicles that were revealed at the show — the Navigator has been out long enough, that we've actually driven and reviewed it.) The Navigator on display at the show has the ultra-plush Black Label interior. It's a $95,000 rig. No surprise then that hit was also the public's choice in the category of Best Road-Trip Ride. The public's other choices: Best Dream Machine — Ford GT. Best Family Fun Finder — Chrysler Pacifica. Baddest Off-Road Vehicle — Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Coolest Technology — BMW i8 Roadster. Most for Your Money — Kia Stinger. (Commenters on our recent Drivers' Notes review said the Stinger was a media darling the public won't buy, but these voters, at least, liked it.) Best Future Concept — Infiniti Q Inspiration. Most Eco-Friendly — Smart Fortwo. Most Amazing Mobility — Toyota Concept i-Walk. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford recalls 2020-21 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, 2021 E-Series

Mon, Dec 21 2020

Ford announced safety recalls for the 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator along with the 2021 E-Series early Monday. The recalls address entirely different issues.  In the case of the 2020-2021 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, that issue is motor mount hardware. Specifically, the fasteners that secure the passenger-side motor mount may back out. In Ford's words, this can result in a "loss of power," which is the entirely predictable result of an engine parting ways with the vehicle it powers.  As alarming as that may sound, owners should not have to worry about anything extreme, as the passenger side mount is only one of multiple, and Ford says it is not aware of any incidents that have occurred with vehicles in customer hands. Ford says it impacts only about 1400 examples of the Explorer and Aviator in the States (plus two in Mexico and 65 in Canada) that were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between July 28 and 30, 2020. Ford is in the process of alerting its owners to the recall, and those with affected models will have their mount hardware replaced by their local Ford dealerships free of charge.  The 2021 E-Series is being recalled for a potential heat management issue resulting from improperly aligned thermal insulation on the underside of its engine cover. In vehicles where this insulation was not properly installed so that it reaches all the way to the edges of the cover, the resulting heat bleed can cause high in-cabin surface temperatures, and direct contact them could result in burns.  This is the larger of the two recalls, as Ford says it covers nearly 33,000 examples sold in the United States and Canada. Fortunately, as with the above issue, Ford says it has not been made aware of any customer incidents. Ford says the remedy is a set of insulation patches for the exposed areas.  Related Video:
