Original Rare Color 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Southport, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a rare car to locate today. The milage is acurate. Only 71113. This Lincoln was special ordered by my wife's grandmother in 1979 and meticulously garage kept by her until her passing last year. We brought it home and immediately put it under a 7 layered high end car cover where it has been sitting. The car had been sitting for about 2 years until we got it. I had the carb rebuilt by a lincoln mechanic and put back on last weekend and now it runs and drives perfect. The seats had been covered with towels for all of its years to prevent fading and wear. It was never smoked in and the carpet, headliner and fabric are all in excellent condition. All of the factory options are still in place, 8 track digital stereo and factory CB radio. It has a nice white half carriage top and the opera windows. all chrome is complete and in great shape. The paint is in excellent condition. There are only a couple very minor blemishes I took pics of and listed. The only things I know of that need attention are as follows: The fuel gauge is not working properly. I think the float in the tank is stuck from sitting. The windshield is cracked on the lower drivers side (pictured also). Price to replace windshield locally was $250.00. The a/c copmressor is very noisy and is not blowing very cold. It seems to have an exhaust leak. I noticed 1 small place under the trim just above the trunk where the paint seems to be bubbled up like the start of rust. I havent seen any other rust on the car. Other than these things it is excellent for its age. The oil was recently changed and it was recently tuned up. It has always had michelin tires. They are in great shape. It rides like you are floating on a cloud and the seats are like sittiing on your favorite couch. Only a few minor details to repair from sitting and you could have a headturning show car. This is a beautiful classic collectors car that needs a loving home where it can be garaged, shown and proudly driven on a Sunday Afternoon. It is being sold as is where is with no warranty given or implied. Please feel free to ask any questions and Thank you for looking. |

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Lincoln's first shipment of cars arrives in China
Mon, 15 Sep 2014It has been two years since Lincoln first announced its plans to expand into China, and the first models destined for sale in the giant automotive market just came off the boat in Shanghai on September 10. It's going to be a few weeks before Chinese buyers actually have the chance to get behind the wheel, though.
The first two models being offered to China are the MKZ and MKC, as seen arriving in these photos, and they are going to be sold at dealers that look more like hotels than traditional showrooms. The first four are opening in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou in October, with a grand unveiling of the new brand to Chinese consumers later that month. By the end of the year, Lincoln wants to have eight dealers operating in seven cities. By 2016, the automaker wants to have a lineup of five models available in the People's Republic.
"This is the culmination of months of teamwork and collaboration both in North America and here in China," said Robert Parker, President of Lincoln China, in the company's release.
