At first the car would not start, but that was because it had been sitting for several years. It's now running perfectly.
When I went to look at the car, it was not only garaged, but also had the car cover on inside the garage. When the cover came off, it was like looking at a 1973 Lincoln straight off the line.
There is no rust.
The engine is immaculate.
The leather interior is like new, no damage.
It doesn't drive, it glides. I have never encountered a car like this.
I owned a Buick beforehand, and even that cannot compare.
It's a pain to park, and I get scared going around tight turns because I'm afraid of clobbering some little sport coupe or something.
The gas mileage, to me, isn't that bad considering I was barely doing better with the Buick. The Lincoln gets around 15.5 mpg, but has a 22-gallon tank, so the range is good.
I wish cars these days had luxury like this Lincoln. It came with a cassette player and a CB radio, which is pretty cool.
It isn't exactly quick off the line, but it has amazing torque, so I can still smoke the tires!
I'm a Lincoln man now.
You've only put about 50 miles on it, so how would you know what mpg it gets?
Hello, do you still have this car and if so, do you want to sell it? I am looking for another one. I had one back in 1980 and I loved it to death. My friend talked me out of it and he enjoyed as I did until his sister totalled it. But get back to me, leave a post and we can contact each other.
No, I can't sell it. Now I've put over a thousand miles on it, and am getting another car to use as a daily driver so I can keep this one in great shape. I'm slowly restoring all the older parts and putting in performance stuff. I dare someone to call it slow...I'm happy to hear you like the car though.
