1972 Lincoln Continental 8 Passanger Limosine ~ Time Capsole, 85k Original Miles on 2040-cars
Lenexa, Kansas, United States
1972 Lincoln Continental Limousine ~ goes by the name "Large Marge" ~ Very nice shape, with 85k original miles, runs & drives excellent. Original 460-4V V8 engine with Automatic Transmission, both were professionally rebuilt in the past, car starts right up, runs good, shifts good, idles good at stoplights, just like it should. Tires are a nice set of matching Michelins that are like new. All lights work, even the reverse lights. Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows & Sunroof (all work, some need help closing/ rolling up), factory rear-air unit (works), factory 8 trac player built into dash, and another 8 track player built into wall of passenger rear seating area. There is also a factory built in Cassette player and clock on the opposite side of the rear seating area. I do not have 8 tracs or tapes to try these out, they look to be in nice shape. There used to be a TV mounted between the backwards seats, which is why the big antenna is on the trunk. The antenna is removable, and is even seen off the car in one of the pictures. There is one small hole drilled in the decklid for the mounting of the antenna, and the back mounts are just suction cups, so removing the antenna if not wanted is not a problem. I have been told this is a PRESIDENTIAL LIMO because it has the flag holders mounted to the front fenders... I don't know enough about these cars to know if that's true or not, but you could put flags on your fenders if you want to, I have the poles that go in there as well. This car is incredibly solid, NO RUST HOLES ANYWHERE that I cans see, even the frame and floors, and quarter panels are rock solid! Paint is old and shows its age, it has little dings, 2 dents in the whole car (one up front on the inside of the passage side front point, the other on the drivers side rear quarter in front of the rear wheel). Overall, this car is in very nice shape, especially for its age and never being restored. This is a unique opportunity to own a very neat, collectable car that is ready to drive and enjoy now. Buy this car and have someone drive you around town in it... :)
Interior is nice for being original, dash has a few small cracks, due to its age. The carpet is a little faded, but nice shape and all original. Power locks work when they want to, due to age. Headliner is perfect. Door panels are nice, the arm rests are showing their age and have plastic filler pieces cracked up, I am including a nice original full set to replace the original set in the car still. The cool Flip-up / hideaway headlights work when car is running and lights are turned on or off. Wipers work good, heater and air vents blow properly. Never tried the AC (always had the windows down, sunroof back) but its all there and belt still hooked up to compressor. Very comfortable car to sit in/ ride in/ or drive. Carpeted trunk, with full size spare, and access to President rear-air unit. Car also comes with a folder full of receipts and paperwork from work done on this car over the years. This car is tagged, insured, and driven at least once a week... You would not believe the LOOKERS and the smiles this car brings to everyone's faces when we drive it! Large Marge draws a crowd wherever we drive her. Hate to sell, bought a new truck, need to find my limo a new home. Clean Kansas title in my name.
Runs & Drives Great! Fly into Kansas City KCI Airport and drive it home! A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours after the auctions end, so I know I have a serious buyer. The remaining balance is due within 7 days after auctions end. If paying with a cashiers check or money order, your payment must clear my bank before you take possession of the car or have a shipper pick it up. Please be sure to email me with any questions, I'm a nice guy and easy to work with. I live right off I-35 in the South-West part of the Kansas City area, in Lenexa Kansas. Don't miss your chance to own a very unique classic car in very good shape, for a great price! Lets find LARGE MARGE a new home! |

Hennessey’s 600-hp Lincoln Navigator is here
Tue, Oct 9 2018The tuners at Hennessey have begun deliveries of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator HPE600, a full-size SUV that boosts the Navigator's normal 450-horsepower output to 600 hp, announcing its arrival with a video showing the performance 'ute riding a dynamometer. Hennessey said it was a natural decision to turn to the Navigator because it has mostly the same 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine as the F-150 Raptor, which it converted last year to the 602-hp 6x6 VelociRaptor. So it added engine management computer software upgrades, a stainless steel exhaust system, high-flow air induction and large front-mounted intercooler with blow-off valve. Dyno results in the video show the Navigator topping out at around 500 hp and 500 pound-feet of torque at around 3,800 rpm at the wheels; Hennessey says the 600 hp comes at 6000 rpm. The upgrades are good to take the nearly three-ton SUV from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, about 0.7 seconds quicker than the standard Navigator, and run the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 107 mph. The tuning package will set you back $19,950, including installation. Additional options include 22-inch forged monoblock wheels, lowered suspension and Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers and 15.1-inch brake rotors. There are also HPE600 badges on the front door jambs and tailgate, and embroidered headrests. It comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Just 200 are planned for the 2018 model. You can order it now through Hennessey or any authorized Hennessey Lincoln dealer. Related Video: Image Credit: Hennessey Lincoln SUV Luxury Performance Hennessey tuner lincoln navigator tuning
Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
Ford recalls 2020-21 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, 2021 E-Series
Mon, Dec 21 2020Ford announced safety recalls for the 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator along with the 2021 E-Series early Monday. The recalls address entirely different issues. In the case of the 2020-2021 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, that issue is motor mount hardware. Specifically, the fasteners that secure the passenger-side motor mount may back out. In Ford's words, this can result in a "loss of power," which is the entirely predictable result of an engine parting ways with the vehicle it powers. As alarming as that may sound, owners should not have to worry about anything extreme, as the passenger side mount is only one of multiple, and Ford says it is not aware of any incidents that have occurred with vehicles in customer hands. Ford says it impacts only about 1400 examples of the Explorer and Aviator in the States (plus two in Mexico and 65 in Canada) that were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between July 28 and 30, 2020. Ford is in the process of alerting its owners to the recall, and those with affected models will have their mount hardware replaced by their local Ford dealerships free of charge. The 2021 E-Series is being recalled for a potential heat management issue resulting from improperly aligned thermal insulation on the underside of its engine cover. In vehicles where this insulation was not properly installed so that it reaches all the way to the edges of the cover, the resulting heat bleed can cause high in-cabin surface temperatures, and direct contact them could result in burns. This is the larger of the two recalls, as Ford says it covers nearly 33,000 examples sold in the United States and Canada. Fortunately, as with the above issue, Ford says it has not been made aware of any customer incidents. Ford says the remedy is a set of insulation patches for the exposed areas. Related Video:
