Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States
|
UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS SUPREME 1979 LINCOLN MARK V CONTINENTAL TRIM “PERSONAL LUXURY VEHICLE”. 34,799 ORIGINAL MILES, SINGLE OWNER UNTIL 2014, CLEAN TITLE IN-HAND. TEN (10) DAY AUCTION WITH OPENENING BID AT $2,500.00. I AM A FAN OF TRADITIONAL AUCTIONS; THEREFORE THIS LISTING HAS NO RESERVE. HAPPY BIDDING! ABOUT LINCOLN'S MADE IN 1979: 1979 was the last year of the production of large, over-stated personal luxury vehicles. Emissions laws effective in 1980 required better fuel economy and air pollution standards. The 1979 Mark X certainly went out with a bang. Lincoln also celebrated their Diamond Jubilee in 1979, therefore this is a rare edition vehicle, in excellent condition with low mileage. HISTORY: This super-clean and super-sweet car has enjoyed a single owner and has always been garaged. Very well maintained, the interior and exterior wear and tear is consistent with the original 34,799 miles. This car was donated to the local Meals on Wheels program as part of an estate donation. I was able to speak to the donor, who informed me this was his Mother's car, and that she had just passed away. It took me about two (2) weeks to be comfortable driving this car. I have always driven large vintage cars, but this car is so long and wide, the hood so long and the steering so precise that I found myself overcorrecting. I am now an expert! This car was recently driven on an 800 mile round trip to Omaha, NE. This was the best road trip I have ever had. The car sailed down the highway as if it were meant to fly. Very comfortable, with velvet smooth three-speed transmission. The engine on this car is extremely reliable and I would drive this car anywhere with little worry. A cold start and the engine revs right up. Warm start is a little tricky - these older gas engines can "flood" themselves if you are unfamiliar with older cars. I have now mastered the warm start too! This car has been detailed and looks absolutely amazing. EXTERIOR: This 1979 Lincoln Mark V Continental is laser straight and in overall excellent condition. Brilliant gold on gold (Diamond Jubilee edition) original paint with subtle burgundy pin-striping. Stunning chrome trim, bumpers and Rolls Royce style grille. Mint vinyl half-top roof and gleaming windows. Rear opera windows have engraved Lincoln logo, with many other design features that are unique and over-stated. This car is not for someone shy. You will get compliments on it everywhere you go. A real conversation piece. INTERIOR: Ivory, beige and brown interior. The velvet upholstery (split-bench front with individual armrests) is in superb condition and the carpet and original floor mats are mint. Overall vinyl is beautiful and the dash is mint with no cracks. Interior mirrors and lights in superb condition with an elegant lighting design (see nighttime photos). Cartier clock on driver’s side dash. Impressive interior space (this is a very large car to be a coupe). Also includes original full floor (front and back) protective/decorative vinyl mats. These mats were used by the original owner since new. When I removed them, I discovered the pristine carpet and mats in mint condition. SPECS: 19 feet, 16 inches long, – 6.65 inches wide,4.5 inches tall; 4800 pounds; 120.3 in wheel base Very reliable 6.6 liter V-8 engine; Power windows/seats/doors; Newer tires; Climate control; Power steering and brakes; Lighted vanity mirrors (driver and passenger side); Factory original CB and 8-track player; Vintage floor mounted cellular phone; Recent oil/lube/fluid and air filter service; New high-end windshield wipers. |

Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014
Sun, Dec 28 2014Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach
Wed, Sep 30 2015Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Ford to ramp up Lincoln rollout in China in bid to catch rivals
Thu, Apr 12 2018DETROIT/BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to build as many as five new vehicles in China by 2022, according to two U.S. sources, in a move to expand sales in the world's largest vehicle market that would also blunt the impact of trade U.S.-China trade spats. Ford has said it plans to build an all-new sport utility vehicle in China by the end of 2019, however the company has not detailed future production plans for the Lincoln brand in China beyond that. "Our localization plans to support the China market are on track and will serve to further drive Lincoln's growth in China," Lincoln spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said. "Beyond that, it would be premature to discuss our future product and production plans or timing." Sources familiar with Ford's production plans told Reuters the automaker now expects to begin building the new Lincoln Aviator in China in late 2019 or early 2020, along with replacements for the MKC compact crossover and the MKZ midsize sedan, followed in 2021 by the all-new Nautilus, which replaces the Lincoln MKX crossover. A fifth model, a small coupe-like crossover, is tentatively slated for production in China in 2022, the sources said. Ford has much to lose if the war of words over trade between China and U.S. President Donald Trump escalates into a full-blown tariff war. Last year, it shipped about 80,000 vehicles to China from North America, more than half of them Lincolns to support the brand's growth. All Lincoln vehicles that Ford now sells in China are brought in from North America. Even if China does reduce its 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles - as Chinese President Xi Jinping promised on Tuesday - it is not clear that would mean a big, long-term increase in Fords and Lincolns made in U.S. factories heading to Chinese showrooms. Ford is pursuing long-range plans to build more vehicles in China to serve a market that is now roughly 60 percent larger than the U.S. market, and projected to keep growing. But it is playing catch up to hometown rival General Motors Co and German luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which have invested heavily in Chinese production in recent years as a form of insurance against trade, political and currency gyrations and to lower price points for their premium cars.
