Original Rare Color 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Southport, North Carolina, United States
This is a rare car to locate today. The milage is acurate. Only 71113. This Lincoln was special ordered by my wife's grandmother in 1979 and meticulously garage kept by her until her passing last year. We brought it home and immediately put it under a 7 layered high end car cover where it has been sitting. The car had been sitting for about 2 years until we got it. I had the carb rebuilt by a lincoln mechanic and put back on last weekend and now it runs and drives perfect. The seats had been covered with towels for all of its years to prevent fading and wear. It was never smoked in and the carpet, headliner and fabric are all in excellent condition. All of the factory options are still in place, 8 track digital stereo and factory CB radio. It has a nice white half carriage top and the opera windows. all chrome is complete and in great shape. The paint is in excellent condition. There are only a couple very minor blemishes I took pics of and listed. The only things I know of that need attention are as follows: The fuel gauge is not working properly. I think the float in the tank is stuck from sitting. The windshield is cracked on the lower drivers side (pictured also). Price to replace windshield locally was $250.00. The a/c copmressor is very noisy and is not blowing very cold. It seems to have an exhaust leak. I noticed 1 small place under the trim just above the trunk where the paint seems to be bubbled up like the start of rust. I havent seen any other rust on the car. Other than these things it is excellent for its age. The oil was recently changed and it was recently tuned up. It has always had michelin tires. They are in great shape. It rides like you are floating on a cloud and the seats are like sittiing on your favorite couch. Only a few minor details to repair from sitting and you could have a headturning show car. This is a beautiful classic collectors car that needs a loving home where it can be garaged, shown and proudly driven on a Sunday Afternoon. It is being sold as is where is with no warranty given or implied. Please feel free to ask any questions and Thank you for looking. |

Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up
Tue, 12 Feb 2013Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.

Ford recalls over 500,000 trucks and SUVs, including Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator
Fri, Aug 30 2019For the second time in a month, Ford is recalling the brand-new 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator for minor safety issues. This recall, which also affects certain 2018-2020 Ford F-150s, 2019-2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Ford Explorers, and 2019-2020 Ford Expeditions, pertains to potentially faulty seat-back reclining mechanisms. In total, the recall touches 550,186 vehicles. A mechanical part meant for relaxation and comfort has the Ford Motor Company stressin'. Ford says potentially affected vehicles might be missing the "third pawl required for seat-back strength" in the reclining mechanisms on certain seats. Because of this, the seats might not properly keep a person in place during the event of a crash or otherwise. In the F-150s, F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Explorers, and Expeditions, the recall affects vehicles with manual driver and/or front passenger seat-back recliners. On the 2020 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators, rear outboard seats with manual recliners are of concern. Of the more than 550,000 vehicles, 483,325 vehicles are in the United States, 58,712 are in Canada and 8,149 are in Mexico. Thus far, Ford is not aware of any injuries from the issues. Ford says it expects most vehicles will not need repair, but dealers will inspect the seat structures out of precaution. If fault is found, dealers will replace the seat structure altogether. For this recall, Ford's reference number is 19C07. Contact your dealer for more information. Featured Gallery 2020 Ford Explorer View 47 Photos Recalls Ford Lincoln Truck SUV
