1970 Lincoln Continental 2-door Hard Top Coupe on 2040-cars
Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States
|
Relisted do to wrong catagory!
For sale is a 1970 Lincoln hard-top 2 door coupe. From what I've been told there were less than 2500 of these ever made. I have the original dealership code list if anyone has any questions or wants to know the numbers to decode. The car runs and drives great! That however doesn't mean it doesn't need a complete ground-up rebuild. While the 1970 D0VE engine performs quite well, the outside is getting rusty. Has vacuum controlled power-locks. Vacuum controlled opening headlights and original wheel covers. It comes with all the original parts like intake manifold, carb, etc if you want it numbers matching. If you were to restore this to like-new condition I don't doubt it would bring 100k at auction as rare as it is. Please, be my guest, search all of the internets and try to find one, you likely will not find so much of a picture of this car, let alone the car itself. There is one additional one that I'm aware of and the gentleman that owns it is en Europe. Yes, it's rough I know. Yes, you can come check her out. I drive her in the summers here any there mostly to my buddies farm about 5 miles up the road from mine. She has a mild cam, new water pump, new intake manifold (Weiand hi-rise), new carb, holley vacuum secondary with a QFT kit put on her so you can change the all the jets instead of messing with fuel plates. Do some research and find out what you can about this model, if it's something you want go ahead and bid, if not, she'll go back in the barn 'til Spring. If you're someone famous like gas monkey garage or jesse james than I darn well better get on tv and want to see what she looks like when you're done. You're welcome to come look at her, hear her start, idle, run, etc. Send me an ebay message with your phone number and I'll answer any questions you have about the car or the dealer-delivery statement. I'm only the second owner of this car, the orginal one was an elderly retired dentist. This is one of the largest cars ever produced, especially for a 2--door model, with both doors open the wingspan is nearly 15 feet across.
VIN: 0Y81A843773 I have tons of paperwork for everything the first owner did to the car, including documentation that he was indeed a doctor. I have original owner's manual and dealer's window print out.
Car is in Lima, OH
I believe the mileage says 34000 but the odometer doesn't work well. Exact mileage unknown.
Feel free to msg me any questions or with your phone number so we can talk, hear it run, etc; or to request additional pictures

Ed Welburn leaves a lasting legacy at GM design
Sat, Apr 9 2016General Motors design chief Ed Welburn retired July 1, and the soft-spoken stylist is leaving a lasting legacy at the automaker and on the industry. He became the first African American to lead design at a carmaker when he took over GM's top spot in 2003. Just six people have overseen the company's design, and Welburn followed in the footsteps of icons like Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell. When Welburn was given expanded global oversight in 2005, it wasn't ceremonial. He helped unite the company's sprawling design empire, and today is in charge of 2,500 people who have a hand in designing GM cars. "He nurtured a creative, inclusive, and customer-focused culture among our designers that has strengthened our global brands," Mary Barra, GM chairman and CEO, said in a statement." Welburn took the helm when GM and the industry were shaking off a general styling malaise that pervaded the 1980s and 1990s. During his 13 years in charge, he took risks, produced a wide range of styles for everything from hybrids to sports cars to big trucks, and leaves GM design in a better place. Welburn's replacement, Michael Simcoe from GM's international design unit, has big shoes to fill. News & Analysis News: Tesla attracted more than 325,000 preorders of the Model 3 in about a week. Analysis: If anything, the Model 3 is more popular than many expected. Elon Musk tweeted that surprising figure on Thursday, and he said just five percent ordered the maximum number of two. That seems to indicate actual owners rather than speculators are fueling the demand. With a starting price of $35,000 before incentives and an electric range of 215 miles, the Model 3 is the Tesla that's attainable for a lot of people. Clearly, that notion is resonating. News: Lincoln has drawn 40,000 hand-raisers for the Continental. Analysis: Okay, that's not a Tesla figure, but it's still an encouraging sign for Lincoln that one of its most famous and historic names still resonates in 2016. It also demonstrates using a real, albeit slightly dusty name, was the right call for the MKS replacement. "No other Lincoln vehicle has generated this much interest in this little time," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said in New York last month. The concept that debuted a year ago put Lincoln back on the map, and the production version remains true to that promise. It will stand out on the road when it arrives this fall, and ultimately, that kind of style will determine Lincoln's future.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
