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

Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
Lincoln MKC configurator comes alive
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Lincoln has already announced most of the trim level and option pricing for its upcoming 2015 MKC due out this summer, and now it has launched a configurator allowing prospective buyers to get a better idea of how this new model will stack up against other compact luxury crossovers. We already knew that the MKC will have a starting price of $33,995, but now we know that its price includes a destination charge of $895.
Models equipped with the base 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine come standard with the Premiere package - $33,100 for front-wheel drive and $35,595 for all-wheel drive. Both models offer equipment upgrades from the Select and Reserve packages. The $3,230 Select package adds features like leather seats, power passenger seat, folding and heated door mirrors and painted 18-inch wheels, while the pricier $6,935 Reserve package adds in heated and cooled front seats, panoramic roof, hands-free liftgate, two-tone wheels and an embedded modem (providing features such as remote lock and unlock, vehicle finder and pre-conditioning).
Opting for the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four raises the base price to $39,965, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive and all of the equipment in the Select package; the Reserve package is still optional. All models can be further optioned up with the $2,235 Technology Package (adding adaptive cruise, active park assist and lane keeping system) and the $580 Climate Package (heated rear seats and steering wheel, auto high beams and rain-sensing wipers). Checking all the options, a fully loaded 2015 MKC with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost will have a total MSRP of $47,715.
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
AOL Autos' associate editor Peter Bigelow went deeper in his criticism. Have a read: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is A Flop.
