Up for sale is an immaculate 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 fully bagged and in a perfect black on black paint and interior combination. This epic 19 foot or 5.8 meter land yacht is quite possibly the longest and the last of the massive 2 door America cars. As the absolute epitome of luxury in its day, the Mk5 is one of the most comfortable and highly factory optioned cars America ever produced. From the signature Cartier clock, to the walnut dash and steering wheel inlays, the ridiculously comfortable double padded leather seats and every power option imaginable, driving this rolling palace always leaves a smile on your face.

This gorgeous one owner all original example has been garage kept and a cozy 72 degrees almost its whole life, and has not seen a drop of rain since 1982! Needless to say this is a completely rust free car as evident by its showroom quality perfectly straight original black paint.

For the ultimate cruiser feel, and because this massive car just looks so sweet laid flat on the ground, the Lincoln has been fitted with a custom Air Ride Tech air bag kit. Starting with a Big Red solenoid kit to cope with the impressive 5,042 pound or 2.3 ton curb weight of the Mk5, a pair of 5 gallon tanks and twin compressors give you full adjustability through the RidePro digital control system. Helping the Continental get that perfect slammed stance are a set of 14x7 Zenith wire wheels with real knock-offs.

Both compressors and tanks are custom fitted in the trunk along with components from the new custom sound system. Only the best JL Audio components were used, including a pair of W6 10 inch subwoofers in a custom wrapped box to match the trunk and a pair of 300/4 amplifiers. On the dash replacing the factory stereo is a Kenwood head unit. 

With only 49,000 miles on the all original 6.6L 400CI Cleveland v8 engine, this strip and show cruiser has many more years to give. This is your chance to own an absolute crowd pleaser, guaranteed to get smiles and thumbs up from anyone you pass, this timeless classic really has to be seen to be appreciated. Whether it be the arrow straight roads of the high desert, or a nostalgia festival in car crazy Scandinavia, to a traditional lowrider show at Mooneyes Tokyo, this pristine 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 is an absolute joy to drive.

Please feel free to call me for any more information. (408) 930-8959

Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

As the first 2015 MKC crossovers slip into dealerships, Lincoln has confirmed power and fuel economy ratings for the compact crossover's optional 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine.
The new range-topping powerplant, thus far otherwise unavailable in the Blue Oval kingdom, will net a healthy 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque from 2,750 revs. Those figures represent gains of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft over earlier estimates, putting the handsome new compact CUV in the hunt with up-engined rivals from Audi and BMW. (A variant of the 2.3L will shortly find its way into the engine bay of the 2015 Ford Mustang, albeit with a number of key changes, including north-south orientation.)
In the MKC, the new engine will net 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it only loses a single mile per gallon in the city cycle versus the 240-hp, 270-lb-ft 2.0L EcoBoost model when fitted with all-wheel drive. Both engines rely on the same six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.

Car subscription services: A slow, expensive start — but the potential is huge

Wed, Dec 26 2018

Americans are used to paying for subscriptions — to magazines and cable television, for instance — but experience shows they'll cancel when the price of admission gets too high, or there are more tempting alternatives. Cord cutters ditched nearly 1.5 million pay-TV subscriptions in 2017, according to a survey by Leichtman Research Group. Cable TV started out cheap with basic offerings, and then got expensive. The auto industry's subscription offerings are new, but they're starting out costly, and not price-competitive with traditional leasing. The upside is that they take the hassle out of car ownership for busy people by letting the service take care of maintenance, insurance, licensing and taxes. And they give consumers choice, often allowing relatively painless switches between different cars in the automakers' lineup. Subscription services also point the way toward an ownership-free auto experience, and offer an easy transition to a potential world where ride- and car-sharing will be dominant. Subscriptions are here to stay, but consumers may take a while to "get" them. Lincoln's subscription service for lightly used 2015 to 2017 models, offered through the Ford-owned Canvas beginning this year, got off to a slow start. Many early subscribers canceled. Last month, Cadillac announced it would " temporarily pause" its $1,800-per-month Book subscription service for "adjustments" as of December 1. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Snags with the back-end technology used to support the service made some customer-service functions tedious and time-consuming, adding costs for the company." The challenge for automakers is to come up with a strategy that offers consumers a compelling, affordable option to regular ownership, and one that can also make a profit. I think they'll find that sweet spot, but they're not there yet. Jack Nerad, former executive editorial director at Kelley Blue Book and author of " The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying or Leasing a Car," points out that "A lot of people expected that subscriptions would be very valuable for people who wanted inexpensive transportation, but the reality is quite the opposite. Subscriptions are offering more choices for the wealthy.

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*

Wed, 21 May 2014

Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
