I have for your consideration a 1978 Lincoln Continental. It has approx 67,000 original miles on it. It has the 460 engine, with automatic transmission. Both of which work nicely. Here is what I know/the story of this vehicle. The vehicle was owned by an elderly couple and it was the wife's car. In the early 1990's she got cancer. The husband wanted to surprise her, so he had the car painted and a new vinyl top put on by one of the local Ford dealerships, (Alexander Ford). The wife unfortunately succumbed to her illness. The husband tried to drive the car, but the memory of his wife would not allow him to do that. The vehicle was parked in a semi climate controlled basement, and actually "walled in" so no one could get to it very easily. That is where it sat until he decided to sell it, and that is where I came in. He had offered to sell it to me a couple of times and then changed his mind, but he is up in years now so he offered again and I bought the car.
(Note: I am friends with the family, and I know the information is accurate.) I had the car brought to me on a roll back. It was quite dusty from sitting and I knew it would need work. The following is what I did to the car: New gas tank, sending unit and fuel pump. All new belts. Water pump/timing chain cover was leaking. All of that was fixed/replaced. Since we were close, and the OEM timing gears were nylon, I replaced the timing chain and gears. Complete tune up, new plug wires distributor cap, plugs etc Fluids changed, prior to any attempt to start the vehicle. New battery. New tires. New front brakes and rotors. I had the car detailed, and it uncovered a very very nice paint job. Here are the issues left with the car: The A/C is not working. The power door locks are not working. The left turn signal inside does not illuminate. turn signals work fine. The leather upholstery has discolored some over the years. The car has no catalytic converters on it. I can get them put on for $250, if needed. Everything else works on the car to the best of my knowledge. Radio, power antenna, power windows including the power "vent" windows, power seats, all lights, headlight covers, etc etc My intentions were to use this car on the weekend and just to "cruise" around in. It rides/drives like it is on a sheet of glass. The major reason for selling is that that the driver's area is not big enough for me. I am a a tall and big person, 6'8" 385lbs. The first time I sat in the driver's seat was after all of the work was done, and that is when I found out there is not a much room in the Lincoln as was in my 1988 Cadillac Brougham. I thought about moving the seat back and all of that but I wanted to keep the car original, so I decided to sell it. Now if you are still here after all of that, it is time for pics. The car is sold "as is" no warranty express or implied. 500 dollar deposit via Paypal, balance in cash or cashier's check. All checks must clear before the car will be released. This car has a lot of potential, and a lot of life left in her. I priced it about half way of what the range is in the NADA book. Please look at the photos closely and if you have any questions e mail me, I will respond ASAP. Thanks Note: Someone wanted to know what the white was on the side of the vehicle. That is just the reflection from the lines in the parking lot. The paint is that good on this vehicle. |

Lincoln taps Serena Williams to pitch all-new Navigator
Fri, Feb 16 2018Lincoln is turning to a new star to help it pitch the hot-selling Navigator SUV alongside Matthew McConaughey: Tennis megastar and businesswoman Serena Williams. She'll help pitch the Navigator in a social media campaign that launched Thursday. Lincoln released four short spots that will appear on Lincoln and Williams' social channels. In one, the longest at 41 seconds, Williams recalls buying her first Navigator as a teen and says she's come full circle as a mother. She dubbed the vehicle "Ginger." "Ginger was all white, she had 22s and she had rims," she says in the spot. "I felt like, you know, I was kind of balling in a way. It was like my first huge purchase." Another shows Williams talking on a tennis court about being a mother and how the vehicle functions as a kind of bedroom for her daughter, Olympia, who was born last September. "For me that's what's most important." Like the McConaughey spots before them, the new spots hew to the Lincoln script of mostly not focusing on the vehicle but rather on experiences. (Williams' experiences seem a lot less ethereal than McConaughey's.) View 4 Photos Williams is known for her tennis exploits, having won a record 23 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals. She has fashion deals with Puma and Home Shopping Network and launched her own fashion brand called Aneres. And she operates the Serena Williams Fund to emphasize education and help victims of gun and domestic violence, plus the Williams Sisters Fund, which she launched in 2016 with her sister, Venus. Serena Williams is also a member of the Oath Board of Advisors. Oath is the parent company of Autoblog. "Serena is an amazing athlete who has won 23 Grand Slams, but she also has a family, she has her own clothing line, she sits on major boards, she's philanthropic — she has all these competing demands on her time," Lincoln Group Marketing Manager John Emmert said in a statement. "We know that time is our Navigator client's ultimate luxury as they balance everything in their busy lives, and Serena exemplifies that balance with poise and grace." It's not the first time Williams has endorsed an automotive brand, notes AdAge. Mini featured the tennis star in a Super Bowl ad in 2016. The Navigator is all-new for 2018. It won North American Truck of the Year last month at the Detroit Auto Show. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Tesla offered nuclear plant in France, and more | Autoblog Minute
Fri, Apr 8 2016Longtime GM design chief Ed Welburn retires, Lincoln says it has high customer interest in Continental, and could Tesla build the Model 3 in France? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] General Motors' long time Vice President of design, Ed Welburn, announced his retirement this week. He joined GM in 1972 and he's just the sixth design chief in GM's 108 years. He's being replaced by Michael Simcoe who is Vice President of design for GM's international operations. Now Ed Welburn's time at GM dates back to when he was 11 years old. He wrote a letter to the company saying he wanted to be a designer. [00:00:30] Someone at General Motors got back to him and the rest is history. Lincoln already has 40,000 hand raisers for the new Continental. Now those aren't Tesla figures but it's still a very healthy number and shows a lot of interest for its new flagship sedan. The Continental will replace the MKS in Lincoln's lineup. Continental will be in showrooms this fall and it will offer a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo with 400 HP. Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra said, "No other Lincoln vehicle has [00:01:00] generated this much interest in this little time." This week in Tesla news, Reuters reports that a French government official has offered Elon Musk the site of a an old nuclear reactor to build a car factory. The reactor, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is set to close at the end of this year. Now this notion is not that far fetched. Musk says that he would consider it. Meanwhile demand for the Model 3 continues to be strong and has attracted hundreds of thousands of hand raisers. [00:01:30] Those are the highlights form the week that was. Be sure to come back this Saturday for my full recap where I'll have additional insights into the automotive industry. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns
Wed, Sep 30 2015Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.
