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. |

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards
Tue, 17 Jun 2014In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.
