All Original 1973 Lincoln Continental Mark Iv Meticulously Maintained on 2040-cars
Carlsbad, California, United States
|
This car has not been restored but has been meticulously maintained over the years. It is in tremendous shape, runs very strong no problems and everything works. It was purchased and owned by one owner from 1973 until I bought it about 3 months ago. I was amazed at the condition, the chrome is nearly perfect, and easy 9 or 10 rating on it's condition. The engine which is a big 460 V8 starts right up and runs great. The owners son had replaced the tires, radiator, carburetor, transmission, as well as repaired and kept up anything of concern over the years.
The white leather interior looks in pretty good shape though has normal wear for a 1973, the drivers seat however has cracks in the leather. Even though the interior is in good condition, if I were to keep it myself I would throw in nice new pristine white leaner to really make her pop. Everything is power, power seats that slide and tilt power windows power antenna and all of it works great! The Air conditioning, interior lights and even the old 8 track stereo work perfectly. This car was garage kept in California it's entire life. The original owner, a 96 year old woman unfortunately died and her Son sold the car to me. It had 25k original miles and it's condition reflects that. I would think this is one of those Holy Grail classic car finds that a Lincoln enthusiast dreams of coming across except I came across it but I am not a lincoln enthusiast so I just bought it to sell. I ahem had it in my garage and not been driving it other than to keep the engine exercised once a week maybe. I am happy to answer any and all questions so please ask anything you'd like. The only damage I can see it has sustained is a scrape next to the front passenger side bumper and rear passenger side bumper which looks like it was scraped while pulling out of a garage, it's really just paint not real dent or damage to the steel. The Black vinyl top is in pretty nice shape, looks good, the headliner in the interior does have a seam that looks to be ripping and taped. The owners son mentioned he replaced the steering wheel so the one in the car has a crack and is also from a 1974 Lincoln. Other than these minor areas of pretty normal wear the car will really excite you in how great she looks and well she functions. So for all this car people who like to buy old cars and bring them back to glory this one has about everything you would scour the internet searching for all ready to rock which should really put you ahead of the game if you chose to do any restoration at all. |

Lincoln dons the Black Label
Mon, 17 Nov 2014
"We're really trying to simplify for the customer on their terms." - Paul Bucek
Lincoln is launching a Black Label service and customization program in December at 32 dealerships across the country in a bid to attract new and more upscale customers.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
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.
