This
gorgeous example of an incredible vehicle has been stored inside all its life. This
Lincoln has always been regularly maintained and has currently passed
inspection. Here are some of the features; Cartier clock, vent windows, rear defogger, central locking (doors lock when shifting into drive), climate control heat and air conditioning (yes, it blows ice cold), aluminum wheels with whitewall tires (plenty of tread), power windows (6), automatic headlights with delay, aluminum running boards, automatic headlight dimming (high beams), trunk mounted power antenna with integrated CB antenna, hydraulic over hydraulic power brakes, original matching carpeted floor mats (the dark mats you see are over the originals to protect them and will come with the car), cruise control with steering wheel buttons, remote mirrors - the driver’s side is heated, dual - six way power seats, dual illuminated vanity mirrors with Hi/Lo settings, integrated factory Ford CB radio (it still has the factory warning label on the CB radio to obtain a license before using it), rare power moon roof with full leather roof (most sunroofs came with the half roof), with the original backup crank handle, two tone green dark turquoise metallic paint (color code 4B1) with matching interior, armrests and mats, QUADRASONIC 8-Track AM/FM/CB Stereo with cassette adapter and foot switch controlled radio scanning (a VERY rare option usually seen on only the collector series), Power trunk. The vehicle also has delay wipers and tilt steering wheel.
This
vehicle has always been stored inside. Every maintenance issue has been always
corrected; new brakes - including cylinders, drums, rotors and pads, shocks,
ball joints, Exhaust Gas Return valve, power steering hoses, all maintenance
has been done to the original specifications.
The vehicle also has a BRAND NEW Carburetor (not rebuilt).
History: The vehicle was manufactured in Detroit but
for sale in Canada so the odometer is in kilometers (the mileage I listed is in
miles) and the speedometer is in both MPH and kilometers as was common for most
American cars in the late ‘70’s and 1980’s.
The car was purchased new by a man who died approximately 2 years after
buying the car and his family kept it in storage for close to 30 years before
selling it to the second owner. He had
most of the work done to the car as it had been stored for so long (I have all
receipts). He only drove it sporadically
in the summer. However, since his career
keeps him busiest in the summer months leaving little time to drive the car (he
wouldn’t drive it in winter) he decided to sell it. I am the third owner and have owned the car
since 2012. I have only put about 10 or
15 miles on the car since; driving it around town to keep the parts lubricated
in the summer only as I planned to keep it until I died.

Lincoln Continental prototype breaks down, requires a tow
Wed, Dec 2 2015Sometimes, cars break. Sometimes, said cars happen to be prototypes covered in camouflage. And sometimes, spy photographers are on hand to capture the sad sight. Such is the case here, as our trusty long-lenses have captured images of a stricken Lincoln Continental getting a tow back the shop. It's not clear what happened with the wounded Continental, but its unfortunate breakdown has given us a great look at the car's sprawling glass roof. Like the current MKZ, it looks like the Conti's panoramic roof can slide back, although we doubt it will cover up any element of the rear window, like its smaller sibling. And unlike our previous round of spy photos, this latest gallery gives us a look at a rather substantial set of integrated exhaust tips (i.e. fakes that have been fitted directly to the rear bumper cover). We can also spy a bit of the interior, although it's nowhere near as good as our last round of images. These shots do, however, show off a full roll cage and a fire extinguisher, but we wouldn't count on those being offered with the production model. Their presence here, though, leads us to believe that the car in question is probably some kind of vehicle dynamics tester. Look for a full introduction of the all-new Continental next month, when it debuts at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:
2020 Lincoln Aviator final specs drop — it makes even more power than before
Mon, Aug 12 2019The 2020 Lincoln Aviator is getting more power, and we haven’t even driven it yet. Well, itÂ’s not getting more power, but the final numbers are officially out, and theyÂ’re higher than what Lincoln promised at the initial reveal. We were told at last year's L.A. Auto Show that the base 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 would make 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Lincoln's spec sheet shows itÂ’s still going to make 400 horsepower, but the torque figure is now up to 415 pound-feet. We're looking at the same spec sheet, but a hat tip to CarBuzz for noticing the change first. The plug-in hybrid model has received an even larger bump to its ratings. Lincoln said it would be 450 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque combined, but itÂ’s actually going to be 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. We were a bit slack-jawed at the numbers before, and this just takes it one step further. Lincoln still isnÂ’t quoting any acceleration numbers, but with this amount of power, something in the 4- to 5-second range seems likely for a 0-60 mph time. ItÂ’s a legitimate shot across the bow in the German SUV horsepower wars. That said, the Aviator persona comes across as much more muscle car-like than a performance SUV meant to tackle lap times like the AMGs and M car SUVs of the world. We donÂ’t know the all-electric range yet, but Lincoln did tell us the size of the battery pack and the electric motorÂ’s output. Aviator PHEVs will be working with a 13.6 kWh battery pack and a 101-horsepower electric motor. There are two modes: One is called Preserve EV, and the other is called Pure EV. Preserve EV is able to charge the battery up to 75 percent using the engine while driving, whereas Pure EV is designed to keep the car in electric-only mode. YouÂ’ll get blue accents in the Lincoln star if you buy the plug-in hybrid, too. Some cool headlight technology is coming to the Aviator in the form of optional adaptive pixel LED headlights. Lincoln says itÂ’s capable of speed-dependent lighting, which adjusts the beam based on your speed. At fast speeds, Lincoln says more light is directed at the road, while driving at low speeds disperses it wider to cover more area directly in front of the vehicle. WeÂ’ll be driving the new Aviator soon, so look out for our first drive impressions coming later this month.
Lincoln debuts MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Lincoln is making the decisive commitment that it wants to improve its brand perception going forward. It can't be cheap to hire A-list talent like Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, for its new ad campaign for the 2015 MKC crossover, but the company is showing that it's serious about the new vehicle and its future. The first three of these five commercials are just hitting YouTube, and they begin airing on television on September 6.
The Live in Your Moment campaign is all about Lincoln trying to sell not just the MKC to customers but also explain the brand's philosophy. It's one of the oldest luxury automakers around, but hasn't exactly had a glorious history, especially recently. Based on these first ads, we can see that there's a definite focus on philosophizing rather than focusing on the crossover. At times, McConaughey seems just a mustache and a mangled beer can away from reprising his role from True Detective.
The first ad (above) is simply titled Intro and sets the mood and concept for the whole campaign. Bull has McConaughey talking to a longhorn in the middle of a road, and I Just Like It has him explaining his affinity for the brand. Lincoln's full release is available below, and you can view the other ads by flipping through the playlist in the video player above.
