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. |

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.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
