East Meadow, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is my personal 1979 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 4 DOOR COLLECTOR SERIES. The exterior is dark blue and the interior is dark blue leather. Drivetrain is a 6.6 400ci V8 with a C6 transmission. Luxuries include, power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, dual power seats, cruise control, AM/FM 8 track, Cartier clock, Collector Series equipment which includes, color coded turbine wheels, gold emblems, grill,and stripes, port hole delete in the top, matching trunk carpet and complete tool kit.
I have recently gone through this whole car mechanically and have done, air filter and breather, oil and filter change, sparkplugs, cap, rotor, pcv, front and rear brakes, new headlight switch and headlight door actuator, brand new power antenna assembly. Inside I replaced and repaired the door lock actuators, left rear power window motor and track, replaced the fuel guage. I have installed a new Interstate battery last year with a battery store cutoff. I have just installed a new correct radiator. I have installed a new vinyl top and have detalied the car from top to bottom. It runs and drives like when it was brand new. I have the original owners manual and build sheet as I purchased it from the original owner. My best friend was the original owners aunt, I know this car since new. The body is really nice but does have a few rust bubbles mostly above the tail lights. It has a rust hole in the right rear lower quarter panel, and a few in the door jambs. The body was painted in the early 90s. The paint is really nice and shines beautifully but it is not show quality and has a few blemishes. The hood has acid rain stains but is really only noticeable in the garage under the flourescent lamps. All the trim is really nice. The interior is like new and I have purchased and installed the original floor mats since the picture was taken. The woodgrain on the steering wheel is a little faded. I replaced the rear package tray with new correct fabric. Underneath is all original and soild, normal surface rust but no holes anywhere. Has the normal oil sweating from sitting around, but nothing major. Also the muffler was just replaced. The air conditioning compressor needs a front seal as it leaks freon, it has been converted to 194A, it blows ICE COLD for the season but needs to be charged every year. Overall this is a beautiful driver quality car that gets lots of looks at the car shows and cruise nights. This car is nice enough to take anywhere, but not have to worry about enjoying it. I drive this car often when the weather allows, and is always garage kept. I purchased a car cover to keep the dust off while in the garage, it has a few tears from the car being so big, but will include it in the sale, along with a few 8 track tapes I have for it. I change the oil once a year, and have a bunch of extra filters I will include also. I have tried to describe this car the best as I remember sitting here typing this. Car is able to be viewed and driven if desired. I am selling it because i just purchased a new GMC truck, and would like to keep it in the garage. Please dont waste my time, I wont waste yours. Please ask all questions before bidding. Check my feedbacks and bid with confidence. Buyer is responsible for shipping charges, but will help anyway possible to make transaction go smoothly.. Thanks for looking and good luck. |

Ford investing $5B in Lincoln
Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
