You are bidding on an extremely rare 2001 Lincoln LS with the seldomly seen Getrag manual transmission. I am the second owner having purchased it in December of 2001 when it had only 15K miles on the odometer. The car was garage kept up until August of 2011 when I relocated with my job to California. The strong sun of Southern California has caused the clear coat to start to fail in certain spots which I detailed in the pictures. The car runs and drives exceptionally well. The throwout bearing failed at 121K miles and I replaced the clutch, pressure plate and had the flywheel resurfaced at this time which was a very expensive repair due to the scarcity of the parts. The Getrag shifts smoothly with a short throw and the car handles extremely well thanks the optional "Euro Sport" suspension option it has.

The tires have plenty of life and show no signs of cupping or uneven wear. I have used only Mobil-1 synthetic oil in the car since I purchased it and the engine runs perfectly and consumes no oil. I had a hard-wire installation so you can plug your iPhone directly into the factory Alpine stereo. The only issues with the car are the check engine light flickers on and off as does the air bag light. The car did pass the extra strict California emissions standards this year with zero issues. Also, the horn and windshield squirters are not working. The car is being sold as-is, with no warranties expressed or implied.

I will be listing this car locally as well and will reserve the right to end the auction early should I find a local buyer.

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
