1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible, # 00095 off the Lincoln assembly Line. This was a rare find. In storage for over 12yrs.

This Lincoln was repainted many years ago White with Red Leather Interior and White Top. The paint had faded and had many

paint chips and scratches.

The owners son had mentioned that the 430 motor was rebuilt 14 years ago, But it has not been started in years.

The windows did not work,The Power top did not open every time and sometimes not at all.

I know I had a lot of work to do . I rebuilt the carburetor,Changed the spark plugs and ran a can of gas from the fuel pump

to the carburetor,With a new battery and my finger crossed I cranked the motor over and in a minute or so it started.

There was a little smoke and some lifter noise but ofter a few minutes it purred like a kitten. What a relief.

If You are going to restore your 60s Lincoln Continental Sedan or Convertible,You better get ready for price shock.

Better yet take out that second on your home.You will need it..

As John Cashman had told me when I started to purchase parts and relays from him," Welcome to the Land of Lincolns".

These are 50 plus year old cars and parts are hard to find and are exspensive. Most Lincoln Continental parts are Used,Rebuilt or Reproduced.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Remember there were around 40,000 1960s Lincoln Continental Sedans made each year and around 2800 1960s Lincoln Continental Convertibles. Less than 3000 Convertibles a year for the early 60s, How many 1962 Lincoln Convertibles do you think exist today???

As you can see on Ebay,Barrett Jackson and other auctions around the country 1960s Lincoln Continentals and Convertibles are

High Priced Cars,Especialy when they have been Restored or are all Original..Stock.

I removed all Chrome and bright metal,Bumpers, windshield,Removed all paint down to metal, There were a few rust spot on the lower-quarter panel and two doors. I repaired both doors with new metal patches, The lower quarter panels I made new sections and welded them in. On all welding repairs undercoating was applied to the insides to prevent any further rust.

Before any bodywork was started I sprayed the complete car with self etching epoxy primer.Next was the body work, Then Primer,then

block sand,Primer,Block sand get ready for Paint, 4 coats of black paint, let sit 2 days color sand and Spray 4 more coats of Black paint,

Let paint sit 2 days color sand and spat the last 4 coats of Black paint. After a few days the paint was blocked with 800,1000,1200,1500 and

2500 wet sanding. Then cut and buff to a diamond shine. Now the body is Lazer Straight ready for the Chrome and bright metal.

I know you thinking that that is exactly what you would do.It is the only way, But it takes months to do it and not a few weeks.

And body work aint cheap. Remember you get what you pay for. Custom Body and Paint jobs on Big Cars are around $15-$20,000.

All the Polished Stainless and Re-Chrome was put back on the Lincoln, The Interior was removed and Replaced with Leather,,Dash was removed for Paint and new Leather.

While the dash was removed all wiring was checked for shorts or cuts, Vacuum lines were replaced if cracked or split.

I removed the worn and missing wood dash and replaced it with My Own Wood Dash Kits. $500.00+ S+H.

New Black Carpet and Padding was installed.Door panels were recovered,

The engine was treated with New Powder Coating, The Power Steering Pump was rebuilt, I replaced the Timing Chain and Gears while i was rebuilding the Power Steering Pump,I replaced the Fuel Pump rod And Rebuilt the Fuel Pump.

I replaced all Intake Gskts,Valve Cover Gskts and Freez Plugs with Brass Plugs.

I installed a New Radiator and replaced the thermostats.

New Brakes and a Power Brake Booster was installed, All the power window switches were rebuilt, Window motors were checked,Window tracks were cleaned

and Lubricated,Roller Guides were cleaned,Greased or Replaced.

22" Lexani Wheels and New 22" tires for that look.

Front Springs were cut 1", Rear End has 3" lowering blocks. There was NO cutting done to the rear frame,No Air Bags.

Now for the Convertible top, It Works, BUT There is no Vinyl top installed yet. WHY, Because I refuse to install The Absolute Garbage Roof Rail Seals that are being

sold to us. They are BADDDD..... I refuse to install them Until Someone out there (Like Me) Steele Rubber or Soft Seal Makes a set of Roof Rail Seals

worth putting on your Classic Lincoln Continental Convertible.

This is a NON A/C Car. 430 Engine with a 2 Barrel carb.

So my Loss is Your Gain. If you are A SERIOUS Buyer and not a Bull Sh-ter and have any questions please call.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production Â– as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Woman keying luxury car caught on tape

Thu, Nov 12 2015

Toronto police are on the hunt for a disguised woman who was caught on camera Sunday keying a car. The woman sported a red bandana over her face and baseball cap as she ran up to the Lincoln MKS in a driveway, the Toronto Star reported. She then went to town with a sharp object, gleefully scratching the car's paint job. She runs off after nearly a minute of enthusiastic damage. Police believe the victim and the vandal know each other, since the Lincoln is the only car in the neighborhood she hit. This is also the third time this particular car has been damaged. They suspect this woman is responsible for the previous incidents. Toronto police told the Star that it will likely cost Lincoln owner thousands to have his car repaired. Security cameras are great for catching vandals in the act, though the videos are difficult for any car enthusiast to watch. Take for instance this video from London in April of a man scratching an Aston Martin while pushing a baby stroller. News Source: The Toronto Star Lincoln Videos vandalism scratch

2015 Lincoln MKC aims to rejuvenate the brand... again

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Ford is slowly but surely attempting to revitalize the Lincoln brand, with the new MKZ sedan pointing the way forward for the Blue Oval's struggling luxury division. Here at the LA Auto Show, Lincoln is showing the next new product that aims to give the brand new life, the 2015 MKC crossover.
The MKC is based on the trusty Ford Escape, but this is far more than just a rebadge job. Lincoln has used completely new sheetmetal here, with the brand's familiar split-wing grille front and center, and a classy, wraparound tailgate with super slim taillamps that span the width of the hatchback. It's one of the better applications of Lincoln's new design language we've seen thus far, and the end result is a taut-looking crossover that is at the same time both modern and luxurious-looking.
Further differentiating itself from the Escape, the MKC packs an all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, good for 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. (On the base end, Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 240 hp and 270 lb-ft is available.) The MKC also uses a new Continuously Controlled Damping adaptive suspension, and is available with both front- and all-wheel drive.
