1973 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL - 2 DOOR - 2nd owner.
Please read ad before inquiring. WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT: This car was painted by Texas artist Frank X. Tolbert Jr. and used as an "art car" for a few years. It's a one of a kind. CONDITION: It runs. Kind of. It was parked about 8 years ago, and hasn't been driven since. Up until that time, it was meticulously cared for. Original owner willed it to her grand daughter who drove it and made it into an art car. Interior is intact, a few rips in the seats. It's not clean, it's been sitting. But it's intact. I recently turned the engine over enough to make sure the fuel pump works. (Disconnected from the engine). It must have the tank dropped and all of the systems flushed before trying to start this car. I was quoted about $300 from a mechanic to clean it up and get it running. But there is nothing major wrong with any of the systems, or at least there certainly weren't when it was last driven. Tires are in bad shape, but 2 of them hold air for about a day, and 2 of them last longer. But they will pump up for towing purposes. They can all four hold aid long enough to be pulled up onto the back of a tow truck. Which brings me to: YOU MUST TOW THIS VEHICLE AWAY WITH A TOW TRUCK. Don't expect to have your buddy pull you with a chain behind his truck. It needs a real flat bed tow truck. TITLE: No title. It's around here somewhere, but let's just proceed. I can't find it. It's clear, I can assure you of that. There are no issues. Pictures show dirt because it's dirty. I decided not to wash it. I rinsed it, but it needs a good scrubbing, and I wanted to leave that up to whomever buys it due to the artwork that's on it. This is really a nice car, with a great paint job. Someone will love this. Contact me with any questions. $1,000 firm. It's easily worth $1,000. Priced to sell. |

Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost
Thu, 05 Jun 2014As 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.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Oct 2014You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
