Lincoln Continental Mark V Series 1979 Bill Blass on 2040-cars
North Richland Hills, Texas, United States
1979 Continental Mark V Bill Blass Edition All Original Very Low miles 39,683 Car was purchased originally by Rex Greene the President of a large manufacturing company in Chicago IL. upon his passing in 1989 the car was stored till 1999 and it was sold to a collector in Michigan who kept the car in beautiful condition till last year when I acquired the car. This beautiful Mark V has had a new fuel tank added instead of having it cleaned and the exhaust pipe was replaced due to a loading issue on the transport truck where it snapped a fitting so I decided to replace the pipes from the Y section coming from the catalectic converters. I also replaced the starter solenoid and a minor rubber hose which went to the carburetor. All the electronics work perfect Windows Doors Locks Seats - Vanity lights Dash board lights are like brand new bright greenish glow just like when it came from the factory. Radio Works and has an 8 Track Player. Takes me back to the Disco Era. Power Antenna works perfect. Easier to list what doesn't work on this car and here it is. The two front door speakers don't seem to put out much sound no idea why. Don't want to take the door panels apart for no reason. Still sounds great. Everything else on the car still work even the cruise control. The paint on the car is very nice. The white sections have no chips or scratches as you can see by the photos. The blue sides have minor surface scratch. Around the drivers door key hole there are minor blemishes. I would not try to touch this up its part of its charm. The Carriage top is original in great shape also original very white no color one little corner seems to have a slight lift and I will have that addressed this week. Carpets are beautiful and the Blue leather seats are like brand new, soft as the day it rolled off the assembly line. To many things to list here. I have additional pictures on Flicker click on the link below to see all the photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/121208097@N08/13345713843/in/photostream/ Feel Free to contact me with any questions.

Oh look, it's the 2017 Lincoln Continental
Thu, Jan 7 2016Sorry about the super-low-res photo, but what you're looking at here is the 2017 Lincoln Continental ahead of its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. The image appeared online courtesy of Ford Inside News, showing the production version of Lincoln's new 400-horsepower sedan. The front fascia certainly looks different than the gussied-up concept we first saw in New York last year, but as the Ford forum suggests, this could just be a lower-spec model. Seems weird to us that Lincoln would introduce some snazzy, full-LED headlights and then just slap projector beam units on the actual production car. But you never know. We'll know for sure when the car is revealed at Cobo Hall next week. Expect it to have all-wheel drive with the company's new 400-hp, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 (that debuted in the MKZ in Los Angeles). Let us know what you think of the production-spec Conti, in Comments. Related Video:
Lincoln revival bypasses rear-wheel drive for now
Wed, Nov 25 2015Ford execs had the axe ready for Lincoln just a few years ago, but the luxury marque is on a hot streak these days. Annual sales are up 7.5 percent through October, and the recently unveiled, refreshed 2017 MKZ previews the company's improved styling. In a great piece about the brand's growth strategy, Automotive News finds the division's bosses want to focus on the core vehicles before taking a big step and building a rear-wheel drive niche model. "Luxury coupes and sports cars are not the first place we need to go," Global Lincoln Director Matt VanDyke said in the story. The division's bosses want to use the updated MKZ as an opportunity to distance Lincoln's identity from Ford, and the powertrain will carry the 3.0T badge rather than Ford's EcoBoost name as part of that approach. The model also injects excitement into the range thanks to an all-wheel drive version with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and an optional Driver's Package with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Lincoln will launch at least three new models by 2020, too. One of those will be the production Continental that will reportedly debut at the Detroit Auto Show. The company will also allegedly revive the Aviator to fit below the Navigator. The third vehicle remains a mystery but likely isn't a compact. Automotive News' story further examines the previously languishing brand's work to climb up the luxury ranks in the US. It's well worth a read. Related Video:
2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid range, fuel economy revealed
Mon, Dec 9 2019The range-topping 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid luxury crossover finally has official fuel economy ratings. The electric range is 21 miles, and when the battery is exhausted, gas-only combined fuel economy is 23 mpg. The EPA's combined electric and gas test loop yielded 56 mpg-e. These numbers make the Aviator Grand Touring the most frugal version of the three-row luxury crossover, with the next most efficient one being the rear-drive non-hybrid model at 21 mpg combined. When going by gas-only fuel economy, though, the Aviator Grand Touring's non-plug-in cousin, the Ford Explorer Hybrid, returns up to 28 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive, and 25 mpg with all-wheel drive. It has much less power at 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque, compared to the Aviator Grand Touring's 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. The luxury plug-in hybrid crossover segment is quite small right now. The closest competitor to the Aviator Grand Touring is probably the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. It has a shorter electric range of 13 miles, and its gas-only fuel economy is a slightly worse at 22 mpg. The Porsche is less powerful with 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and its base price of $82,450 exceeds the Lincoln's $69,895 price. The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e splits the difference on efficiency with a worse 10-mile electric range, but a better gasoline fuel economy of 25 mpg combined. This could improve for 2020, as the updated model will have a larger battery. It's cheaper, too, at $51,645, but it's also a full size smaller than the Lincoln.
