Here is something you do not see every day, a gorgeous original 1982 Lincoln Continental in exceptional condition. This car has been pampered, garaged, and treasured all of it’s life. The 1982-87 Lincoln Continentals are seldom seen today, they are a rare body style; the ’82-83 cars are the rarest of them all. They feature very different styling cues when compared to the later cars, particularly in the front end treatment. Perform a Google search for these two model years and see how many you find for sale in any condition, let alone in remarkable original condition like this one.

This car was custom ordered by its original owner in a very elegant color combination. The understated platinum exterior is accented by bold burgundy/red bodyside moldings and burgundy/red dual band pin stripes. The sumptuous leather interior is a gorgeous deep blue. Wide whitewall tires are fitted to the original alloy wire wheels. This Continental is STUNNING and turns heads wherever it goes. People ask about this car constantly and often comment that they have never seen one before.

The paint is gorgeous and holds a beautiful gloss, a testament to it’s 100% garaged pedigree. The only notable exterior flaw is one small ding on the rear wheel well molding (see photo). The interior is immaculate and supple; it could almost pass for a car with 22,000 miles. Please examine the perfect dash, steering wheel, and spotless trunk. The only flaw is a small tear on the driver’s seat (see photo). The car is in better cosmetic condition than most 4-5 year old Camrys.

The car is an original Southern California car and remained there until I purchased it eight years ago and moved it to the Seattle area, as a result there is absolutely no rust anywhere (see undercarriage photos). It has just under 122,000 honest miles on it, which translates to just 3800 miles per year; very low mileage for it’s age. One feature that makes the 82-83s more desirable is that they do not have the problem plagued and complex front and rear air suspension that was standard on the 84-87 models, yet it rides so smooth and quiet you would think it does. It also has Ford’s reliable, durable, and economical 5.0 (302) V8 with Ford’s fine 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. This drive train, coupled with the Continentals smaller size, make this a really nice modern drivable collectable. It starts, idles, drives and shifts beautifully. All power accessories work, including the trip computer. The AC blows cold.

I have owned this Continental for eight great years and I’m really going to miss it, but I am now downsizing my collection of cars. The time has come to find this wonderful 1982 Lincoln Continental another fine home and for someone else to enjoy it. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a really nice honest and original example of these cars. You will be the only kid on the block with one of these! It is in excellent condition and can be shown with pride immediately. Included with the sale of this car are the 1982 Ford Motor Company Service Manuals that cover all Fox Body cars, including the Lincoln Continental.

The car is 32+ years old, so obviously it is sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I have tried to describe the car in the best detail possible, but I may have missed something important to you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have BEFORE bidding. In person inspections are welcome and can be arranged.

A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The balance is due within 7 days of the end of the auction. Wire transfer for the balance is preferred. Cashiers or personal check is okay, but verification of clearance will delay the release of the car. I am happy to work with your shipper once the car is paid for and I can provide indoor storage for the car up to 30 days after the end of the auction. I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early for local sale. I am happy to work with International buyers. Please keep in mind car will need to be paid in full and clearance of payment will need to be verified prior to the car being released for transport.

I have had the same eBay id for nearly 9 years; my feedback speaks for itself. This is a 'no surprises' car.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford 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.
