Auction is no reserve and started at a reasonable price, will let the market dictate what it’s worth.

Selling my 1998 Lincoln town car with signature series trim level, I purchased the vehicle in Feb 2010. Interior is probably an 8 out of 10. Will come with 2 remotes, one factory key, and possible one aftermarket programmed key(have to check safety deposit box), I also have a factory manual for this car. Car averages 22-25mpg in city and 30mpg on highway. 1998 is the only year without an external door keypad and lower power engine heads compared to later years. The car has lived its life with me as highway driving in Orlando for business and city driving for taking elderly father to doctor’s appointments. Title is free and clear with no defects, we have title in hand. Elderly father is co-registered owner so will be 2 signatures on given title. We are both nonsmokers and car shows no signs of previous smokers.

According to the Carfax I have, this car has always been a Florida owned and registered vehicle from the beginning. The first half of its life being south Florida and the second half to current being in central Florida. Carfax also shows this vehicle as accident free. It does show a repo but that was from a way previous owner and not me.

Reason for selling is to upgrade to Truck/SUV to do more hunting, fishing, outdoors activities. Little difficult to transport fishing gear and scuba gear without damaging something in a Lincoln car.

This car has power driver and passenger seats, power mirrors and power locks. Heated drivers and passenger mirror along with auto dim rearview mirror, and I believe auto dim drivers mirror. I upgraded the steering wheel from the plain leather wheel to the nice wood and leather steering wheel from high trim levels with both having the full steering wheel controls for radio and climate control.

The factory stereo system is the JBL stereo option with steering wheel controls and an 8” subwoofer in the rear deck. One of the minor defects is that the 8” sub in the rear deck is worn out and would not function properly, so the rear wiring to the sub was connected to a prefab 12” ported subwoofer in the trunk to retain bass in the car. If you want to take the time to remove the rear seat and deck cover the rear factory sub can be replaced and wiring reconnected easily. It also came with the factory CD changer in the trunk but I never purchased the CD magazine for the changer, unknown working of factory CD changer in trunk.

interior shows slight signs of aging but very excellent condition for being 15 years old, no cracks in the dash or door panels, leather seats do show some butt wear and driver carpet area show some light dirt and wear but what car wouldn't. I take pride in my vehicles. Headliner and visors are in perfect condition.

What has been replaced/ repaired/ or installed on it:

Previous owner I purchased from:

All metal replacement Intake manifold to correct the plastic crossover runner problem/factory design defect associated with the early year town cars of the 98-2002 body style. I believe Dorman manufactured. Done by previous owners.
Water pump and hoses while manifold being replace as preventative measure

Current owner (me) with a stack of repair tickets and receipts for most major repairs:

Rear airbags converted to Coil Spring suspension, using Moog Coils, factory air system components (compressor, sensors, airlines, etc.) still installed and can be easily reversed with suspension airbags reinstalled. Airlines are neatly capped and tucked into frame. Fuse pulled for compressor so the dash shows air suspension light on. Again all easily reversed if you want to install factory rear airbag “springs”
5% Llumar tint all around to protect from Florida sun
All-Season tires all around with current estimate of 60-75% tread as of sale, Coin penny test shows tread at Lincoln’s mouth if held with head to tire. Factory recommended 225/60/R16 size always used
Front and rear ceramic pads and rotors all around, March 2014 new ceramic pads and front rotors first cut. Fine details such as antiseize used in correct areas on calipers and wheels studs light coat of wheel bearing grease done by mechanic.
Driver and passenger Upper and lower ball joints, done at same time
Driver and passenger sway bar end links, done at same time
Steering center link, age of vehicle replaced.
Inner and outer tie rods, both sides
Wheel alignment for above work.
New main radiator electric cooling fan assembly due to age
Serpentine belt tensioner
Serpentine belt idler pulley
Serpentine belt itself that is Gatorback brand belt, spare worn belt stored in trunk next to full size spare tire for emergency use if needed.
Interstate battery 2010 when car was purchased as preventative, and late 2013 during alternator replace
Brand new not remanufactured Alternator in late 2013, battery replaced at same time of alternator as precautionary measure.
Windshield wiper motor due to age
Updated Ford vacuum hose assembly to remedy known “hoot” sound. Early Ford design flaw. Google for more information
Motorcraft double platinum 100k mile plugs at 130k ish mark as part of tune-up along with 1 replacement motorcraft COP coil assembly.
Transmission filter kit and full fluid change and flush early 2014.
Replacement front driver’s window regulator and motor due to age of vehicle normal tune-up items (air filters, oil filters) LED bulbs in front interior foot wells for cleaner lighting and appearance.

As you can see pretty much most of the big ticket items that would need to be replaced or repaired on a car I have already invested the money. I love my car but outdoor equipment and Lincoln interiors would not mix. The car does show its age a little bit for being 15 years old, the front and rear bumpers have some stone chips, there are a few minor dings and scratches on the side from parking lots, trunk lid shows a few micro scratches that would buff out. One of the pictures shows slight damage to a trim panel on the front passenger door at the very bottom edge, but cannot be seen from outside unless the car is on a lift, I’m assuming one of the previous owners misjudged a curb. You can see paint fading/flaking on the door black inserts, they can be easily removed and professionally painted to bring back to stock look, they look to be aluminum or cast, so they will never rust and this is only a cosmetic issue and nothing else. I also have to disclose that the CEL sometimes comes on and goes off showing a code of P420 which is catalyst efficiency. I believe it’s linked to a coil that is slowly starting to show its age and only shows when it’s extremely hot weather in Florida. Snap-On scanner shows no misfires on any of the COP assemblies and the pre and post cat o2 sensors show working properly. Car still gets stated gas mileage and drives fine and will not strand you. Oil changes in my possession have been ever 3000 miles with quality conventional oil and either Motorcraft or Fram filters.

Lincoln Continental suicide doors: A lot has changed since 1961

Mon, Dec 17 2018

It looks like we've hit peak Lincoln Continental for the 21st century with the Coach Door Edition. At least, 80 people will be enjoying the best that Lincoln (and Cabot Coach Builders) can offer. We figured now was a perfect time to look back at the original Continental with suicide doors, now that there's a return to form. Make sure to scroll through the barrage of historical Continental photos Lincoln provided to us from its archive above. Lincoln was aiming to offer a design throwback to the 1961 Continental with its return to suicide doors. Back then, Lincoln wanted a car to compete with GM's " Standard of the World," ergo Cadillac. The goal was to make a car so enticing that people might want to buy a Lincoln instead of a Cadillac as their next luxury-mobile. It never stomped down Cadillac, but the Continental made a strong statement. Sales spiked at 54,755 Continentals in 1966 – Cadillac sold 196,685 cars that same year. For nine years (1961-1969), Lincoln made the Continental with suicide doors as the only option (barring the two-door coupe introduced in 1966). The car was offered as a four-door convertible or hardtop for most of the suicide-door generation, but the convertible was dropped after 1967. It was the droptop that was most iconic, and the car many of us picture today when thinking about that Continental. The pillar-less look of the Convertible with the top removed and the doors swung wide exudes class and luxury. This generation of Continental appeared in movies like "James Bond's Goldfinger", and more recently in "The Matrix." Celebrities owned them back in the day. Who doesn't want to exit their large convertible through suicide doors onto the red carpet, right? 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition View 51 Photos Obviously, Lincoln wanted the normal Continental released for model year 2017 to take the world by storm. As rumors swirl of its untimely death after 2020, it's safe to say the new Continental hasn't exactly done that. What if it had suicide doors to begin with? Would we have been looking at the next Mercedes beater? Probably not. But still, we would have been blown away if that's what Lincoln showed us at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Maybe those in the market would have been too. The new Continental with suicide doors serves an entirely different purpose than the original. Producing only 80 of them makes sure of that. Maybe a few celebrities will buy one, but this one won't have the same cultural impact of the old.

Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

For 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.

Lincoln Continental to end after one-and-done generation?

Thu, Mar 15 2018

After only 18 months on sale, the vultures of rumor have begun circling above the Lincoln Continental. Ford Authority says "sources intricately familiar with Ford Motor Company's future product plans" for the domestic luxury brand say the Continental won't get another chance at life after this generation. Those sources didn't detail Ford's reasons for dispatching the executioner on another sad task, but if this is true, even the reasons we can only guess make enough sense to justify the move. The Continental launched into a crossover mania still mushrooming in strength like some Marvel villain, the equivalent of a new dinosaur hatching a few months before the Chicxulub Impact Event. In 18 months, the Continental sold 18,846 units, 12,012 of those sales happening in 2017. In the U.S. this year, sales amounted to 1,573 units through February, about 25 percent down on the annualized monthly rate. It could be worse: The Lexus GS has found 1,009 U.S. buyers so far this year, the Acura RLX, 285. Conversely, the Cadillac XTS — yes, a fleet darling Â— secured 3,163 sales in the same period. And the German kingpins live in another dimension, with BMW scooting 5,641 5 Series models off dealer lots, and the Mercedes E-Class boasting 8,411 sales of all three variants. Even the much more expensive and much more profitable Lincoln Navigator rang up 2,351 sales in the first 60 days of 2018. That's disheartening reading, especially after Ford reportedly spent more than $1 billion to bring the Continental to market. Sedan segment woes look to have killed the Continental's platform siblings, too, making the Lincoln's demise simply part of the cull. The CD4 architecture also underpins the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. Ford canceled the Fusion redesign and won't commit to making either vehicle after 2020. Lincoln's passenger car sales declined more than 30 percent last month; meanwhile, Lincoln needs to spend its money on the crossovers that are selling, and investment in the coming three-row Aviator that will replace the MKT. Ford has a CD6 platform in development that suits front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Under previous CEO Mark Fields, a new Fusion, Mustang, and MKZ would ride on the CD6, as well as the new Explorer and a Lincoln brother. Those plans left with the previous administration, and company sources told both Ford Authority and The Truth About Cars not to expect a Continental revival on that architecture. Related Video:
