This 1981 Town coupe is a very nice car! In the three years I have owned the car, I have only driven it some 1400 miles. It spends all of its time under a cover in the garage, and is started and run regularly. I purchased the car with intentions of building a lowrider; but when it was delivered, I knew I just couldn't do it. The triple burgundy Color scheme presents very well. The paint is original, and shows normal wear for it's age. The vinyl 1/2 top was replaced late in 2010. The interior is original; and I have added custom carpet mats (with Lincoln logo embroidered). The stereo works; the A/C blows cold (Recently charged with R12). All of the power accessories operate as they should. The car has just 52K miles; runs and drives well.

Here's everything I have done to the car since 2010:

New tires (Firestone FR 380 Radials)

New Brake master cylinder, Complete front brakes (pads, rotors, hardware, hoses, wheel bearings), rear brakes

New Gas shocks Front & Rear

Rear wheel bearings And upgrade to full synthetic fluid

New NOS power antenna

New vinyl roof

Upgrade to K&N air filter

Tune up: Plugs, wires, cap, Rotor, Oil change to full synthetic W/ motorcraft filter, fuel filter

New ignition system: Duraspark box, coil, crankshaft sensor, EEC Power relay, fuel pump bypass relay, Battery

Fan Clutch

Like I said previously;  The car presents very well; and has done well out at events. In May 2011 the car won "best in class" at the A.A.C.A. Regionals here in Huntsville Alabama, and made the trip to the LCOC nationals last year (2012) in Chattanooga, Tn. The car ran very well out on the highway, in extreme heat, and got just shy of 20 MPG over the 250 mile trip. Since then my health has not been it's best; so I haven't had the car out at many events since. If you know these cars; you already know that this generation town coupe was the LAST of the big coupes; and were very low production output as well; unlike the Mk VI of the same era. The best production output I could research was a total of 2976 of these produced in 1981.  Shipping the car will be the Buyer's responsibility, if close enough; I may consider delivering the car to you. I really haten to let this car go; as it has been my baby for several years. If you have any questions, you can feel free to call me at 256-714-3464 and I will do my best to answer any other questions you might have. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding...........Matt

Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.

2017 Lincoln Continental pricing undercuts Cadillac CT6

Wed, Apr 13 2016

For 40,000 people interested in purchasing a new Lincoln Continental, today is the day they've been waiting for. We have the full and complete list of prices and optional extras for the luxury brand's big, new sedan. The Continental will be offered in four trims – Premiere, Select, Reserve, and Black Label. The Premiere starts at $45,485 (including $925 in destination pricing), while the Select kicks off at $48,440. Speaking of the Select, the base 3.7-liter V6 can be swapped for a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, if you've got $2,250 to burn, driving the price up to $50,690. Going to the Reserve gets you more kit and the 2.7-liter comes standard, but the price increases to $54,840. Finally, the base Black Label starts at $63,840. In the case of both the high-end trims, Lincoln will let you upgrade to the eagerly anticipated 400-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 for $3,265. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option regardless of trim or engine. Standalone options include Lincoln's "Perfect Position" seats, a $1,500 feature that adds 30-way adjustability. It's easy to drive those prices up, of course. Lincoln is offering five options packages, spread across the Select, Reserve, and Black Label trims. The Select Plus (blind-spot monitoring and Sync 3) adds $1,255 to the price of the Select. The $695 Climate Pack (automatic high beams, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and rain sensing wipers) and $3,105 Technology Pack (360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, Enhanced Active Park Assist, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning) can be added to the Select, Reserve, and Black Label. The $4,300 Rear-Seat Pack (heated, cooled, and multi-contour rear seats, inflatable rear belts, and a panoramic sunroof) will pamper backseat passengers on the high-end Reserve and Black Label, while the $5,000 Luxury Package will add LED headlamps and a 19-speaker Revel stereo to the Reserve trim. Standalone options include Lincoln's "Perfect Position" seats, a $1,500 feature that adds 30-way adjustability. That's just silly. More common features include a $1,130 Revel stereo, a $1,750 panoramic sunroof, $750 20-inch wheels, and a $335 CD player. So yeah, don't expect many of those base prices to make it to the showroom without some swelling. By our math, the Conti tops out at a cool $82,400. Lincoln says it's big target for the Conti is Audi A6, and its pricing matches up neatly with that car. The front-drive 2.0-liter turbocharged A6 Premium starts at $47,125.
