One of only 2276 produced in the final year for the convertible.  High quality repaint in the original Powder Blue.  Dark blue interior with blue carpet, both new. Vanity mirror on passenger visor. New white top.  Rebuilt transmission and power steering pump.  New exhaust manifolds (both sides); new rear springs;  aftermarket in-dash radio with iPod hookup (original AM / 8 track radio is included), antenna is a "dummy" in the down position as I use the iPod. A/C blows cold and has been converted to 134a.  Correct jack in place.  Tires have excellent tread.


Vehicle runs like new.  Like most sedans of its' vintage, the Lincoln is happiest on the open road, preferably going in a straight line.  The car does not like to turn

Have the original build sheet, the 1967 sales brochure, and reproduction repair manuals.  The sales brochure center photo features the same blue /  blue / white combo as this vehicle.  The manuals cover general service, convertible top operation and vacuum operation.

What's left to do:  Passenger front and rear window switches as well as driver rear are not working.  Rear windows are routed through a separate control box in order to function for St. Patrick's Day parade.  Door locks are also inoperative (vacuum).  Rear drivers window is loose in the track.  Both rear armrests need to be rebuilt, but courtesy lights are intact.  To summarize: 3 window switches, possibly the drivers side master switch panel, two armrests (a reproduction piece for one side is available on eBay).  Possibly some window trim.  And finally, the time to sort out the electrical / vacuum issues. 

Why am I selling?  I will be working out of town more often and will have little time to drive the Lincoln.  I can't stand to see it sit in the garage unused.  

The remaining repairs are factored into the price,

Car subscription services: A slow, expensive start — but the potential is huge

Wed, Dec 26 2018

Americans are used to paying for subscriptions — to magazines and cable television, for instance — but experience shows they'll cancel when the price of admission gets too high, or there are more tempting alternatives. Cord cutters ditched nearly 1.5 million pay-TV subscriptions in 2017, according to a survey by Leichtman Research Group. Cable TV started out cheap with basic offerings, and then got expensive. The auto industry's subscription offerings are new, but they're starting out costly, and not price-competitive with traditional leasing. The upside is that they take the hassle out of car ownership for busy people by letting the service take care of maintenance, insurance, licensing and taxes. And they give consumers choice, often allowing relatively painless switches between different cars in the automakers' lineup. Subscription services also point the way toward an ownership-free auto experience, and offer an easy transition to a potential world where ride- and car-sharing will be dominant. Subscriptions are here to stay, but consumers may take a while to "get" them. Lincoln's subscription service for lightly used 2015 to 2017 models, offered through the Ford-owned Canvas beginning this year, got off to a slow start. Many early subscribers canceled. Last month, Cadillac announced it would " temporarily pause" its $1,800-per-month Book subscription service for "adjustments" as of December 1. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Snags with the back-end technology used to support the service made some customer-service functions tedious and time-consuming, adding costs for the company." The challenge for automakers is to come up with a strategy that offers consumers a compelling, affordable option to regular ownership, and one that can also make a profit. I think they'll find that sweet spot, but they're not there yet. Jack Nerad, former executive editorial director at Kelley Blue Book and author of " The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying or Leasing a Car," points out that "A lot of people expected that subscriptions would be very valuable for people who wanted inexpensive transportation, but the reality is quite the opposite. Subscriptions are offering more choices for the wealthy.

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V

Mon, Feb 27 2017

For the 1977 model year, Ford debuted the new Lincoln Continental Mark V, one of the biggest of the personal luxury coupes that were all the rage during the era. While 400 pounds lighter than its Mark IV predecessor, the Mark V was still a thirsty, 4,652-pound symbol of American exceptionalism. Here's an example of a first-year Mark V, spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. If we are to judge from the sun-baked interior, top-down rust, and moss growing on the bodywork, this car spent at least 20 years decaying outdoors before coming here. Still, flashes of its original opulence may be seen here and there. For example, the Cartier clock (which probably failed by about 1983). There were Cartier Edition Mark Vs (along with Givenchy and Pucci versions), but all the Mark Vs got the Cartier clocks. With the 1973 Oil Crisis just a few years behind and the 1979 Oil Crisis a couple of years ahead, some attempt to improve fuel economy was needed in the engine compartment. This car has the 400-cubic-inch version of the 351 Cleveland V8, rated at 179 woefully inadequate horsepower and 329 good-enough pound-feet of torque. Outside of California, the 208-horse 460-cubic-inch V8 was an option. These cars were very comfortable on the highway, with their soft springs and cushy seats. No, the wood isn't real. Worth restoring? No way, not when you can find nice one-owner examples for four figures. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. "To its owner, Continental Mark V is more than a new car. It's a Mark of tradition." Related Video: Featured Gallery Junked 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V View 25 Photos Auto News Lincoln Luxury
