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.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."
