Here is something you do not see every day, a gorgeous original 1982 Lincoln Continental in exceptional condition.  This car has been pampered, garaged, and treasured all of it’s life.  The 1982-87 Lincoln Continentals are seldom seen today, they are a rare body style; the ’82-83 cars are the rarest of them all. They feature very different styling cues when compared to the later cars, particularly in the front end treatment.  Perform a Google search for these two model years and see how many you find for sale in any condition, let alone in remarkable original condition like this one.

This car was custom ordered by its original owner in a very elegant color combination.  The understated platinum exterior is accented by bold burgundy/red bodyside moldings and burgundy/red dual band pin stripes.  The sumptuous leather interior is a gorgeous deep blue.  Wide whitewall tires are fitted to the original alloy wire wheels.  This Continental is STUNNING and turns heads wherever it goes.  People ask about this car constantly and often comment that they have never seen one before. 


The paint is gorgeous and holds a beautiful gloss, a testament to it’s 100% garaged pedigree.  The only notable exterior flaw is one small ding on the rear wheel well molding (see photo). The interior is immaculate and supple; it could almost pass for a car with 22,000 miles.  Please examine the perfect dash, steering wheel, and spotless trunk. The only flaw is a small tear on the driver’s seat (see photo).  The car is in better cosmetic condition than most 4-5 year old Camrys.

The car is an original Southern California car and remained there until I purchased it eight years ago and moved it to the Seattle area, as a result there is absolutely no rust anywhere (see undercarriage photos).  It has just under 122,000 honest miles on it, which translates to just 3800 miles per year; very low mileage for it’s age. One feature that makes the 82-83s more desirable is that they do not have the problem plagued and complex front and rear air suspension that was standard on the 84-87 models, yet it rides so smooth and quiet you would think it does.  It also has Ford’s reliable, durable, and economical 5.0 (302) V8 with Ford’s fine 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission.   This drive train, coupled with the Continentals smaller size, make this a really nice modern drivable collectable.   It starts, idles, drives and shifts beautifully.    All power accessories work, including the trip computer.  The AC blows cold.

I have owned this Continental for eight great years and I’m really going to miss it, but I am now downsizing my collection of cars.  The time has come to find this wonderful 1982 Lincoln Continental another fine home  and for someone else to enjoy it.  This is a rare opportunity to acquire a really nice honest and original example of these cars. You will be the only kid on the block with one of these!  It is in excellent condition and  can be shown with pride immediately.  Included with the sale of this car are the 1982 Ford Motor Company Service Manuals that cover all Fox Body cars, including the Lincoln Continental.

The car is 32+ years old, so obviously it is sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I have tried to describe the car in the best detail possible, but I may have missed something important to you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have BEFORE bidding.  In person inspections are welcome and can be arranged.

 A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The balance is due within 7 days of the end of the auction. Wire transfer for the balance is preferred.  Cashiers or personal check is okay, but verification of clearance will delay the release of the car. I am happy to work with your shipper once the car is paid for and I can provide indoor storage for the car up to 30 days after the end of the auction. I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early for local sale.  I am happy to work with International buyers. Please keep in mind car will need to be paid in full and clearance of payment will need to be verified prior to the car being released for transport.

 I have had the same eBay id for nearly 9 years; my feedback speaks for itself.  This is a 'no surprises' car.

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.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.

Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving

Fri, 10 Jan 2014



In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper.
You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.
