1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car - True Survivor, Unrestored Original 55k Miles on 2040-cars
Woburn, Massachusetts, United States
|
Here is a 1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car. A colleague's grandfather was 55 years old when he bought this car brand new in ’76 in Rhode Island. He owned it for 37 years, until he passed away at age 92 last fall. This car is in unrestored, original, untouched condition. A well preserved survivor car. The interior is mint, brand new. Take a look at the ash tray - shiny untouched chrome. Never smoked in. The headliner, leather interior, door panels, carpet, etc. are all in excellent condition, as can be seen in the photos. Every power option works (windows, seats, antenna, radio, interior lights, etc.) The trunk is literally brand new. The exterior looks great but has typical blemishes. There are minor scratches and paint chips that are difficult to photograph. There is one rust spot the size of a nickel, which can be seen in the photos, and I tried to show some paint chips on the passenger side behind the front tire. There are also some minor paint chips on the driver’s side headlight cover. Overall the paint is very shiny and in great shape as the photos show. All the stainless is near perfect, as is all the glass, and the chrome is in very nice shape as well. However, there is a small dent in the front bumper (passenger side), which is hard to see from the photos, and the rubber on the vertical bumperette is missing. The car has 55k original miles and drives beautifully. In fact it’s the smoothest car I have ever driven, it just floats down the road! All lights, directionals, wipers, etc. all work as they should. Tires are in great shape, brand new battery. Car has just been gone through (oil change, plugs, etc.) I bought the car from my colleague with the sole purpose of tuning it up and driving it, and preparing it to be sold this spring. Currently in my name with new title, so I am officially the second owner. The 2014 Collector Car Price Guide says this car in #3 condition is valued at $6,750, and in #2 condition $10,500. The exterior is #3 condition, interior is #2 condition. We are oping someone will enjoy it for a long time to come. This car is not perfect but is an awesome example of 1970’s luxury, and is drastically climbing in value! Please call me with any questions at all. John 781-789-9181. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. |

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
