Waiting in a garage for perhaps 20 years, my good friend and I brought this beautiful vehicle back to life in the early 2000s and it's been with me since. If I recall correctly, it was originally purchased by a doctor residing in Pennsylvania.
For several years I drove the car regularly, including many 300 mile round trips. Alas, it is now time for me to sell because I have moved nearer to the city, where a $100/month garage is not exactly in my budget... Mechanically, the car is sound and drivable. Just know that it is not currently inspected and I would recommend a tow to its new home. So much of this car was restored or repaired by me and my friends -- too much to recall and/or list. Some notable overhauls include complete brakes, fuel (including tank), and exhaust (including manifolds). Admittedly, the car needs some minor body work and surely deserves new paint. What you don't see in the daytime photos is some wheel well rust which should be corrected before painting the vehicle. Furthermore, the front seats should be reupholstered, although they are not torn. Although totally drivable, a tuneup and carb rebuild are in order. As it stands, I last rebuilt the carb in a hurry and without a working accelerator pump due to a parts order screwup. This kind of thing can be fixed in a day or less with the right parts. The motor is the MEL 430 V8 (7.0L) aka torque monster. The gear selection lever actually gives the driver the ability to start off in second gear! Speaking of the trans, it always shifts very well, provided you use the correct fluid. I did install a trans cooler which certainly helps in the hot weather. Here's a short video of the 430 purring along: http://youtu.be/qE0gqS3ZBbg There are quite a few gadgets on this car, and most of them work. Namely, some things which do not work (to the extent I can remember) are the four main windows (the small ones work fine and the main ones just stopped working) and the AC (I cut the belt long ago, although the clutch did engage on demand per the AC console lever). Naturally, the stock radio is nonworking albeit present, though the car is set up for a standard DIN: the custom cage is inconspicuous and the wiring is mostly present. The car is a driver, but is also a fantastic restoration candidate. I'm hoping it lands in a good home. The title is clear and in-hand. Feel free to contact me any time. Thanks for looking! |

Lincoln Chauffeur service will drive you around and do your shopping
Wed, Apr 12 2017Lincoln is launching a unique service in Miami this year called Lincoln Chauffeur, and it does exactly what you'd expect. Any Lincoln owner can request someone via an app to come to their house and drive him or her wherever they'd like. That driver will then drive the car back. Lincoln pointed out this will allow other household members to use the car, and even helps avoid having to pay for parking when going to the airport. A representative said that a driver could be sent to a bar or restaurant to pick up a car left in favor of a cab after drinking. In addition to driving you to a location, the driver can also go and fill up your Lincoln with fuel and run other errands. Need some groceries? Your Lincoln driver can do that. And the Lincoln drivers are employed and vetted by Lincoln. If you find a driver you like, you can also request that person and Lincoln will try to accommodate your request. The service is currently in the pilot stage and only available in Miami. The next city that will get access to the service is San Diego. However, the plan is to continue expanding. It's also available for all Lincoln owners, new and old, not just members of Lincoln Black Label. Buyers of any new Lincoln will be given the equivalent of eight hours free in the service. This is a significant perk, since Lincoln said the estimated cost is $30 per hour of use at the current pilot pricing. Related Video:
2017 Lincoln Continental spied on the inside
Fri, Dec 18 2015We just saw the lightly camouflaged exterior of the 2017 Lincoln Continental a few days ago, and a new set of spy shots now give us an even better look inside the upcoming luxury sedan. Where the outside largely brings the concept's design to the road, the production interior shows far more compromises. Rather than the expanse of blue leather and Alcantara upholstery, Lincoln's stylists tone things down with a mostly black cabin. While less overwhelming than on the showcar, there's still no shortage of chrome because strips of the shining metal outline nearly every surface. Wood accents also help add some visual interest. The general cabin layout remains close to the concept. The infotainment system gets prime position near the top of the center stack, and the buttons for the transmission sit vertically on the left side of the screen. The design then flows to an angled console that features physical controls for things like the radio and HVAC. These photos provide another view at the nearly undisguised exterior, too. The Lincoln emblem at the front is chrome on this test car, and you can now spot more shining trim underneath the grille. Also look close for a better view of the door handles along the beltline. We expect the full reveal of the production Continental at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Related Video:
