1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe Super Low Mile Original on 2040-cars
Weirton, West Virginia, United States
|
I'm helping a friend sell this 1978 Lincoln Town Coupe. It belonged to her husband who passed away. He was the original owner, the original bill of sale is included. This car has just under 13,725 original miles. It has always been garage kept and is completely RUST FREE. Beautiful Tan paint/vinyl top on Tan leather interior (The actual color is called Light Champagne). The Interior is in perfect condition. The rear seat belts still have the factory plastic sleeves on them. It is equipped with the factory AM-FM-8 Track player and a few 8 track tapes are included. The trunk is spotless. The exterior is excellent, way above average, but not perfect.There are a couple of waves in the hood, as if someone had laid something on it, but I just couldn't seem to be able to get them to show in the photos. There is a shallow ding in the drivers door.(see picture) I would say that both of these issues could be easily remedied with the "paintless dent removal" techniques that are commonly used. I found a touch up mark that was made with a brush on the passenger quarter panel above the wheel opening.(you can just make it out in the picture.) Other than that the original paint is in excellent condition. A good detailing would make this a fantastic car. The front bumper has a few scratches and there would likely be some very light pitting in the front and rear bumpers after they are polished but I don't feel they warrant rechroming. The car sat unused for a few years but all it needed was fresh gas and a battery and it now purrs like a kitten. We gave it a quick cleaning but, as I mentioned, a good detailing would go a long way. The last Lincoln that was in this condition range sold for over $20,000 on Ebay. This one is starting at a very reasonable $7500 with NO RESERVE. The succesful bidder should send a $500 PayPal deposit within 24 hours. The balance can be paid by cash, certified bank check or a bank transfer. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE ON PICK-UP, YOUR PURCHASE PRICE WILL BE REFUNDED. You can drive it home or we will work with YOUR SHIPPER.

Lincoln's $5B revival bid hinges upon new D6 chassis
Mon, 27 Oct 2014It's no secret that Lincoln has received short shrift from the Ford Motor Company for years, and former CEO Alan Mullay even wanted to kill the whole thing off when he ran things. Today, things appear to be trending in a different direction. Fresh investment has helped enable a sizable marketing push for its well-regarded MKC compact crossover, a couple of awards for the company and plant the seeds for a major expansion into China. While the situation is still in the early going, it looks like Lincoln is on a tentative (if long) path towards a turnaround. If new reports are accurate, the brand is poised to build on that momentum with its largest investment in new products in years thanks in large measure to a new modular platform codenamed D6.
According to four unnamed insiders speaking to Reuters, FoMoCo is investing over $5 billion over the next five years, partially to create a new modular platform to underpin multiple Lincoln vehicles - and possibly some Ford products, too. Development is reportedly being overseen by the division's new boss, Kumar Galhotra. At the moment, specific details about the D6 chassis aren't yet known, but it's rumored to have the flexibility to support front-, rear- and all-wheel drive vehicles. According to Reuters, the first model using the framework could be an MKZ replacement and seven-passenger MKT successor in 2019.
Until the D6-based models hit, expect to see continued expansion from Lincoln. Ford management isn't trying to turn around the division overnight and is planning "in terms of generations of products," according to current CEO Mark Fields. The strategy unsurprisingly includes a production version of Lincoln's recent MKX Concept, as well as an all-new Navigator using aluminum-intensive architecture. Reuters also claims the MKS is due for renewal in the meantime, including with a longer-wheelbase version to appeal to the brand's new Chinese buyers.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
