Location:

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

Here's a great '60 Continental convertible project. The car runs and drives, but needs fuel system and brake work. It shows 42k miles which we believe to be original. It has exterior rust on the quarters and rockers, but the unibody is solid and I see no structural issues. Please read below for more details and photos. 

This car was donated to Goodwill by a long term owner in the early 1990s, and purchased by a collector who kept in dry storage from then until 2013. I've owned it for the last year but have several projects ahead of it and I'm out of storage space.     

Body shows one repaint in the original diamond blue, with black leather interior. It is currently running off a gas can but the motor feels strong and smooth. Trans goes into gear and I've driven it around the yard. Brakes need rebuilt. Tires are fair but hold air. 

There is rust in the lower quarters and rockers, and the driver's floor pan has a hole near the toeboard. Passenger front floor is soft but the rest of the floors look ok. Trunk floor is solid, door bottoms are good. Hood lip is rusted through.  Trunk lid is solid.  Structurally, the inner rockers and frame rails are solid and I don't see any rust damage. The undercoating is peeling off but underneath its solid.

 


Fender skirts are included - one has a small hole at the bottom. Spare wheel has been cleaned and primed. The jack and spare tire holddown are in the trunk. Top has a couple holes but is intact.


Electricals will need some attention - drivers window and power vent windows work fine, other windows try to work. Top motor tries to work but doesn't do much - the motors and relays will probably need cleaned and lubed. 

Windshield has a couple light wiper scuffs but no cracks that I can see. Side and rear glass looks ok also. 

She has a lot of potential and I hope she finds a good home. All questions are welcome. 

The Lincoln is located in New Richmond, Ohio, just east of Cincinnati. I may be able to deliver for a reasonable fee, or at least put the buyer in touch with a transporter.  

$500 deposit due at the end of the auction, and payment terms are flexible. We can store the car for up to a month if necessary. Clear Ohio title.


International bids welcome. Thanks for looking!

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.

2024 Lincoln Nautilus pricing is already out, and it's up

Wed, Apr 19 2023

The new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus was just revealed, but now pricing is already out. Not only is pricing available to walk through, but Lincoln opened up its configurator and is allowing you to build and price one. As you might expect from a new generation with a whole lot more features, the base price is up. A 2024 Nautilus Premiere starts at $51,810, including the $1,395 destination charge — weÂ’ll note that the new Nautilus will be built in China now, but the destination fee is the same as the Canadian-built 2023 model. Overall, the new Nautilus is $5,590 more than the outgoing version. Considering that AWD is now standard equipment, and the plethora of additional tech/features now present in this new generation, the increase is no surprise. The Nautilus comes with a gas-only 2.0-liter turbo engine as standard equipment, but you can select the hybrid option for an extra $1,500. LincolnÂ’s mid-level trim is the Reserve at $56,145, which adds “premium” leather seats in the first and second rows, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, unique “jewel” accented grille and 21-inch wheels instead of the 19-inch wheels standard on the Premiere. Both the Premiere and Reserve have very expensive packages that group together a bunch of premium options — weÂ’d recommend reading through them on the configurator to see if theyÂ’re must-haves for your needs. If you want BlueCruise 1.2 (hands-free driver assist system) or one of the available Revel audio systems, though, youÂ’ll need to select one of these packages. Per usual with Lincoln, the Black Label trim is the range-topper. It comes with nearly every option as standard equipment and starts at $75,860. The biggest choices you can make here are powertrain — Lincoln still charges $1,500 extra for the hybrid in the Black Label — and then picking your exterior and interior color themes. Chalet, a cream and brown theme, or Redwood, a reddish-brown and black theme, can be selected on the inside. ThereÂ’s a $3,000 Jet Appearance Package available, too, which comes with unique wheels, fully-blacked-out exterior trim and a unique interior. You can even spend $2,000 on LincolnÂ’s fancy, new Chroma Caviar Dark Grey Metallic paint, the most expensive color in the catalog. Check all of these boxes, and you can get a Nautilus up to $82,360. At that price, you could buy an entry-level Navigator or a well-equipped Aviator.
