Here is a huge, massive 1977 Lincoln Town Coupe. It's a Town car, but a 2 Door. Rare, luxurious, and as big as they came. 19' 5" to be pretty close. Weighing almost 5000 pounds, it's a big solid chunk of a car. If you Google "1977 Lincoln Town Coupe", you'll get several people's opinion of it, it's ride, and of it's reliability. They all mention the good and the bad, but one thing is in common with all of them, it's a plush, comfortable ride that is bigger than most anything out there.
It is very original and complete. There looks to be a lot of original paint on it. The right front fender appears to have been repainted, but I don't see any signs of a collision, so who knows why. The power windows, including the power vent windows, all work. The door locks try really hard to work, and sometimes they do. The factory stereo makes noise and functions, but makes a humming noise. I never turned it on and let it warm up, so who knows, it may get better.
The gauges all seem to work. The speedometer doesn't have a needle like a regular car, so it's just cool all on it's own. All of the lights, headlight doors, wipers, and so on all work. The big 460 starts easily, idles well, and has a ton of torque. It moves the car along nicely. It's like a living room on wheels. A living room that will smoke it's tires that is!
Since I bought it at a collector car auction in March, all I know is that if came from an estate sale. The title shows 82,000 actual miles as of 2/01/2002. As you can see, not a lot of time on the road in the past 10 + years.
Mechanically, I would call it great. Smooth, powerful, and will probably not need a thing anytime soon except for tires. They are old and ugly, but still hold air. I have driven about 70 miles on them locally, and had no intentions of changing them. I assumed the next buyer would put some big crazy wheels on it, so I didn't bother. The battery is weak, but if you start it every few days, it's fine. The AC doesn't work, but you might get lucky and all it needs is a recharge. I'm sure a tune up and general maintenance stuff wouldn't hurt, but you don't HAVE TO do anything.
The low fuel light works, and I know that because I ran out of gas after I took the pictures. It was raining, and I was trying to hurry...so if you're curious...it has a working gas gauge and light, but it helps to look at them occasionally.
It's being sold at NO RESERVE. Winning bidder will own it, so only serious bidders please. If you want to see it, hear it run, or drive it...please make sure to BEFORE the auction ends. I reserve the right to end the auction in the event the car sells to a local buyer, or if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. If you're into gigantic American cars from the 70's, please look at my other auction for a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Believe it or not, as big as it is, it's still smaller than this Lincoln.
Florida buyers will be required to pay sales tax on the winning price, and any title/registration fees at the DMV rate. I do not charge a fee or mark anything up.
Out of state and out of country buyers only pay the winning bid. Good luck and Happy Bidding.
This car is located in Port Charlotte, FL. I can assist with shipping if you need help, but it will be at the buyers expense.

2017 Lincoln Continental garnering strong interest
Sun, Apr 3 2016According to Automotive News, Lincoln has a list of about 40,000 people who have expressed interest in the brand's upcoming Continental sedan. While that may sound paltry next to the 250,000 people or so who have so far put deposits down for a Tesla Model 3, it's great news for Ford's luxury brand. "This is the most buzz I've seen in a long, long time," says Dan Marks, chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council. Lincoln is riding a wave of increased interest in 2016, having topped 100,000 sales last year. Prior to that, the last time that milestone was passed was way back in 2008. As is the case with most automakers, though, much of Lincoln's sales boost can be traced back to strong demand for crossovers like the MKX and SUVs like the Navigator. That makes 2017 an interesting time for Lincoln to be relaunching the Continental sedan. We can expect to see lots of marketing leading to its launch. "Extensive prelaunch activities" are planned, Matt VanDyke, director of global Lincoln, told Automotive News. We'll have to wait a little while longer before we know whether all that pent-up interest leads to actual sales. Or, put another way, whether the 2017 Continental will be a mic drop moment or a big flop.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
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.
