For Auction is a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car.  This car is very good shape with original paint, engine, and all trim.  I have driven this car for about a year and love to drive it.  It runs very well and glides down the street.  I get a lot of comments from people of all ages.  It really does catch attention.  


The car was bought brand new and owned locally for the first 30 years of its life.  Then it was purchased by someone that wanted to just have it for a cruiser, but never took it out to cruise.  I have had it now for about 15 months.  The car has been taken care of and still runs great.

The GOOD!

Everything works.  8 track, AM/FM Stereo, power antenna, power windows, power seats, cruise control, vacuum power head light covers (both open on close, no winking), rear defroster, heater, wipers, inside side mirror adjustments.  All exterior and interior lights work.  The only option that is not currently fully working is the A/C.  The compressor was changed at some point and a switch was inserted under the dash.  The belt has been removed.  The compressor works, but I believe it needs to be charged.

The engine runs very well for its age.  It should have a tune up and could use some carb work done to it.  I have only ever changed out a coolant hose since I have owned it.

The transmission is great.  There is no slipping and it shifts very nicely.

Tires are almost brand new and it comes with a matching spare that has never been used.  

All the glass is in good shape with no chips or cracks.  

Paint still shines with the exception of the hood area.

All chrome and stainless is in good shape and will shine nicely.

The NOT SO GOOD...

Paint is thin on the hood and trunk areas.  Not bad yet, but noticeable.

The vinyl half top has some hail damage to it.  You can see it in the pictures.

There are a few places where paint has chipped off, but has not rusted.  Namely on the fender skirts.

The front bumper has a dent in it.  It was there when I bought it...I have no idea how it came to be.

The back bumper has a dent in it.  I put it there.  The car is long so backing up can be a challenge in a tight spot when a pole jumps out behind you.

There is an area where the paint has been rubbed off by the passenger side tail light.  I believe this happened when someone was not paying attention and they grazed the car with their bumper backing out of the next parking spot.  Like I said...the car is very long.

Carb work as mentioned above.  It is hard on gas...about 8 miles to the gallon.  When it is warm it will diesel a little bit.  It starts again right away..but I have never had time to have it looked at.

There is dual exhaust on this car.  This car never came with catalytic converters so there are none.  Both mufflers need to be replaced.  One is completely blown out. (it set the car alarm off on the car sitting next to me).  The pipes are in good shape but they are not shiney new.  As far as I have seen they are not loose nor full of rust holes.

The interior is leather and is cracked in places, but over all it would clean up nicely.  The headliner is nice is tight.

**There is no body rust on this car!!!!

I have included some pictures.  If you want something specific, just let me know.  

PayPal only.  Auction price does not include a reserve and does include shipping or transport charges.  

Please ask any and all questions before bidding.

2015 Lincoln Navigator puts on a brave face, offers EcoBoost V6 only

Thu, 23 Jan 2014



Lincoln has finally given its SUV a facelift after seven long years.
Seven years is a long time. For the auto industry, though, seven years is an absolute eternity. Most vehicles receive clean-sheet redesigns within the span of seven years, usually getting a facelift of some sort after year three or four. Not Lincoln.

GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
