1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car 34000 Original Miles!! on 2040-cars
Rosamond, California, United States
|
This is a '76 Lincoln Town Car Continental 4 door sedan. Car has JUST 34000 miles, ORIGINAL. Have most paperwork from registrations and repairs verifying mileage. Oil changed often, even though it sat most of the time. Beautiful canary yellow and matching interior. Seats are soft crush velour. Car is extremely clean for a 38 year old vehicle. BUT, it IS a 38 year old vehicle!. Wires etc look original, runs good but secondaries won't open, so since sitting for years, could use carb kit. Battery replaced, tires replaced, but sat so they seem to have flat spots. Cartier clock doesnt work, but rebuild job runs about 90$. Windows and locks work but all are slow and stiff, could use some lubrcation. I am third owner, getting it from son of original owner. Sold in New Mexico, now in sunny, DRY So Cal. Orig owner died about two years after buying, then his wife drove occassionally. When she passed, son, now about 80, got it. Did a few trips in early '80s, then parked it. It has the ULTRA rare spare fuel tank. I think it adds about 8-9 gallons to the 22-23 gal orig tank. This thing was MADE for LLOOONNNGGG hiway cruising, IN STLYE and comfort. Body nice, a few spots needing attention along edge of original leather, landou top trim and there are a few dings, hubcaps, trim, doors, some with not good touch ups, but all very small, chrome is peelin on shifter handle, and very small crack in drivers door armrest far front, un-noticable. Pix should answer most questions but feel free to ask. Interior nearly perfect, seats, headliner, carpet, dash. Trunk all original except needs one snap I think. Flip up lights work perfectly, no vaccum leaks. 8 trac tape player works and the "sympohony sound" is very good. Top is dry, very small cracking along seams, but VERY nice and presentable. Car is awesome at car shows, and I can NOT drive it ANYWHERE without getting comments. SEVERAL. It is like a time capsule. Going thru divorce and trying to get a house cuz of it. I would have NO INTENTION of selling it othertwise. Car is so nice to drive that it surprises you. With some lite TLC this car would be perfect. I just don't have time and it is a damn shame. Car is beautiful and fun. 1000.00 non refundable deposit upon winning, within 48 hours of purchase. Can't store long cuz of divorce, BUT could deliver it for fee, to include travel home. |

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost
Tue, 13 Nov 2012A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.
