1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car. This is an absolutely rust-free, garaged Southwest car in very good condition. 104,544 original miles. 400ci engine runs smooth, burns no oil. Transmission shifts smooth, brakes are good. All gauges and lights work correctly. Most functions work like they should with a few minor exceptions. Rear left door lock actuator does not work. A/C blows ice cold at idle or low rpm but quits blowing out the panel vents at 1/3rd throttle and switches to defrost under hard throttle. A/C compressor is good, no leaks – properly converted to R134. There is only one tiny crack in the dash on the extreme left corner that makes me think it was an impact, not sun damage. As with all 70’s Lincolns, the 6-way power seat switches work intermittently or not at all in some directions – the drivers seat goes back and forth with no problems. The Cartier clock keeps time. A woman in El Paso, Texas originally purchased the car. She drove it for many years and then parked it in her garage for many more years until her passing. Her son-in-law then sold it to a man in Las Cruces, NM who appreciated the comfort for a long commute to work. He enjoyed the cruiser until it developed an intermittent ignition problem and he sold the car to me. I replaced the ignition switch and that fixed the problem. I also had the car painted with all trim removed because it looked like the car had served as a storage shelf in the past. There was no serious body damage and there is no filler in the car aside from smoothing out a few dings. All of the trim was polished before reinstalling with new clips on the car. There is no pitting in the chrome and all the glass is very good. The front bumper is a replacement as the original had a bad dent. The replacement bumper is pretty good but not perfect. The interior is in very nice condition. The red velour seats and carpets still have deep color, no rips, tears or burns. The windows all work well, the radio works properly and even the 8-track plays without eating tapes. There are 2 small tears in the headliner above the backseat, included is a big piece of matching headliner material for repair. The trunk key has been lost to time, but the car has optional trunk release in the glove box. I installed new shocks, a fresh battery, replaced the ignition switch and changed the oil. Other than those items, I have done no mechanical work on the car, it would probably benefit from a tune up. The car is overall, very clean. This is a ’77 though it wears ’78 rear fender skirts. Apparently the car suffered a blowout on the rear left that tore up the original fender skirt. It also damaged the rear bracket so the solution was just bolt in ’78 skirts. I strive to be as honest and clear about the condition of the cars I sell on eBay. Please ask any questions you may have for informed bidding. I generally post all questions. The reserve is reasonable; bid to win. |

2015 Lincoln MKC priced from $33,995* [w/poll]
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Looking to build on the momentum it struggled to establish with the MKZ, Lincoln recently unveiled the production version of its all-new MKC last month at the LA Auto Show. With a proven platform shared with the Ford Escape and striking design, the 2015 Lincoln MKC goes on sale next summer ready to take on the ever-expanding world of luxury compact crossovers. Breaking into this new segment, Lincoln has priced the MKC aggressively as one of the least-expensive offerings in its class, starting at $33,995 (*including destination charges).
At that price, the 2015 MKC costs a little bit more than a fully loaded 2014 Ford Escape Titanium and is just slightly less costly than the Acura RDX and Volvo XC60. More importantly, it's thousands less than Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK-Class. The MKC will be offered in three trim levels for now - there is still no more information about Lincoln's new Black Label products - ranging from the base Premiere up to the range-topping Reserve.
The Premiere will come standard with features like active grille shutters, push-button start, remote start, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats, while the midgrade Select starts at $37,225 and adds upgraded 18-inch wheels, ambient lighting, daytime running lights and a steering wheel featuring Wollsdorf leather. The top-shelf Reserve trim level starts at $40,930 and brings even more luxury features including the panoramic roof, navigation, cooled front seats and wifi access.
12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022
Tue, Jun 15 2021If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids. Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs  |  Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs  |  Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.  Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.
Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls
Wed, Oct 28 2015Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.
