1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car 34000 Original Miles!! on 2040-cars
Rosamond, California, United States
This is a '76 Lincoln Town Car Continental 4 door sedan. Car has JUST 34000 miles, ORIGINAL. Have most paperwork from registrations and repairs verifying mileage. Oil changed often, even though it sat most of the time. Beautiful canary yellow and matching interior. Seats are soft crush velour. Car is extremely clean for a 38 year old vehicle. BUT, it IS a 38 year old vehicle!. Wires etc look original, runs good but secondaries won't open, so since sitting for years, could use carb kit. Battery replaced, tires replaced, but sat so they seem to have flat spots. Cartier clock doesnt work, but rebuild job runs about 90$. Windows and locks work but all are slow and stiff, could use some lubrcation. I am third owner, getting it from son of original owner. Sold in New Mexico, now in sunny, DRY So Cal. Orig owner died about two years after buying, then his wife drove occassionally. When she passed, son, now about 80, got it. Did a few trips in early '80s, then parked it. It has the ULTRA rare spare fuel tank. I think it adds about 8-9 gallons to the 22-23 gal orig tank. This thing was MADE for LLOOONNNGGG hiway cruising, IN STLYE and comfort. Body nice, a few spots needing attention along edge of original leather, landou top trim and there are a few dings, hubcaps, trim, doors, some with not good touch ups, but all very small, chrome is peelin on shifter handle, and very small crack in drivers door armrest far front, un-noticable. Pix should answer most questions but feel free to ask. Interior nearly perfect, seats, headliner, carpet, dash. Trunk all original except needs one snap I think. Flip up lights work perfectly, no vaccum leaks. 8 trac tape player works and the "sympohony sound" is very good. Top is dry, very small cracking along seams, but VERY nice and presentable. Car is awesome at car shows, and I can NOT drive it ANYWHERE without getting comments. SEVERAL. It is like a time capsule. Going thru divorce and trying to get a house cuz of it. I would have NO INTENTION of selling it othertwise. Car is so nice to drive that it surprises you. With some lite TLC this car would be perfect. I just don't have time and it is a damn shame. Car is beautiful and fun. 1000.00 non refundable deposit upon winning, within 48 hours of purchase. Can't store long cuz of divorce, BUT could deliver it for fee, to include travel home. |

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.
