Here is a huge, massive 1977 Lincoln Town Coupe.  It's a Town car, but a 2 Door.  Rare, luxurious, and as big as they came.  19' 5" to be pretty close.  Weighing almost 5000 pounds, it's a big solid chunk of a car.  If you Google "1977 Lincoln Town Coupe", you'll get several people's opinion of it, it's ride, and of it's reliability.  They all mention the good and the bad, but one thing is in common with all of them, it's a plush, comfortable ride that is bigger than most anything out there.

It is very original and complete.  There looks to be a lot of original paint on it.  The right front fender appears to have been repainted, but I don't see any signs of a collision, so who knows why.  The power windows, including the power vent windows, all work.  The door locks try really hard to work, and sometimes they do.  The factory stereo makes noise and functions, but makes a humming noise.  I never turned it on and let it warm up, so who knows, it may get better.

The gauges all seem to work.  The speedometer doesn't have a needle like a regular car, so it's just cool all on it's own.  All of the lights, headlight doors, wipers, and so on all work.  The big 460 starts easily, idles well, and has a ton of torque.  It moves the car along nicely.  It's like a living room on wheels.  A living room that will smoke it's tires that is!

Since I bought it at a collector car auction in March, all I know is that if came from an estate sale.  The title shows 82,000 actual miles as of 2/01/2002.  As you can see, not a lot of time on the road in the past 10 + years. 

Mechanically, I would call it great.  Smooth, powerful, and will probably not need a thing anytime soon except for tires.  They are old and ugly, but still hold air.  I have driven about 70 miles on them locally, and had no intentions of changing them.  I assumed the next buyer would put some big crazy wheels on it, so I didn't bother.  The battery is weak, but if you start it every few days, it's fine.  The AC doesn't work, but you might get lucky and all it needs is a recharge. I'm sure a tune up and general maintenance stuff wouldn't hurt, but you don't HAVE TO do anything.

The low fuel light works, and I know that because I ran out of gas after I took the pictures.  It was raining, and I was trying to hurry...so if you're curious...it has a working gas gauge and light, but it helps to look at them occasionally. 

It's being sold at NO RESERVE.  Winning bidder will own it, so only serious bidders please.  If you want to see it, hear it run, or drive it...please make sure to BEFORE the auction ends. I reserve the right to end the auction in the event the car sells to a local buyer, or if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.  If you're into gigantic American cars from the 70's, please look at my other auction for a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.  Believe it or not, as big as it is, it's still smaller than this Lincoln. 

Florida buyers will be required to pay sales tax on the winning price, and any title/registration fees at the DMV rate.  I do not charge a fee or mark anything up.  

 Out of state and out of country buyers only pay the winning bid. Good luck and Happy Bidding.

This car is located in Port Charlotte, FL.  I can assist with shipping if you need help, but it will be at the buyers expense.

Ford recalls 277,000 Super Duty trucks over foggy rear-view camera

Thu, Sep 1 2022

Ford has issued a recall that applies to around 277,000 units of the Super Duty pickup built between the 2017 and 2020 model years. The campaign also includes about 13,000 units of the Lincoln Continental, and it aims to fix an issue that makes the rear-view camera foggy. Assigned recall number 22V-644 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall includes 139,131 units of the F-250, 109,960 units of the F-350, 14,830 units of the F-450, and 13,119 units of the Continental. The affected trucks are all fitted with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera system and were built between November 12, 2015, and March 10, 2020, while the affected Lincoln models are equipped with the 360-degree camera and were made from November 30, 2015 to March 10, 2020.  Ford explains "degradation of the coating on an internal rear-view camera lens can lead to a progressively foggy or cloudy image." It adds ultraviolet radiation causes the problem and that this issue increases the risk of an accident, though it's not aware of accidents or injuries. Owners of affected cars and trucks who have already paid to get the issue fixed have until September 30, 2022, to ask Ford for a refund. The company will begin notifying customers about the recall by mail on September 12, 2022, and it will ask them to take their vehicle to the nearest authorized dealer to get the rear-view camera replaced free of charge.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off

Wed, Mar 14 2018

When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
