Up for sale is a very clean and unique 1962 Lincoln Continental. Beautiful example of a well kept California rust-free classic. This Lincoln has been in the Los Angeles area its entire life and always stored indoors. Still has the original matching set of black & gold license plates. Most people choose to paint these cars black but very few of them were actually factory black cars. In fact less than 3% of all early 60’s Continentals came in that color. This is one of those few cars built in 62’ that came with paint code “A” (Presidential Black). This is a true matching numbers car with original power train, exterior paint color, and interior color. I get compliments, thumbs up, and turn heads every time I drive it. Clean CA title in hand with tags just paid until Feb 2015.

Factory 430ci engine and 3-speed auto transmission were both rebuilt in 2011 and have less than 10k miles since the rebuild (over $5k spent on overhaul). The car has 71k original miles on chassis. Runs like a dream and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. Lots of power coming from that big block under the hood and it tstill moves pretty easy for such a large car. It’s very reliable, has no mechanical issues, and doesn’t leak a drop of oil. Most of these Lincoln’s have leaks coming from the original power steering system and transmission but that’s all been rebuilt on this car. All of the chrome, stainless steel trim, and glass is original to the car. Most of it was re-chromed and polished 5 years ago when the car was repainted for the first time. Clean two-stage paintjob done in 2009 with very straight body lines and perfect 1/4 ” gaps between panels throughout. It has all original rust-free body panels, floors, and frame rails. All four doors open and close very easy with no sagging. Original glass is clean with no cracks or noticeable scratches. All the windows were recently serviced and had new motors and rollers installed which made them move fast and quietly now. All 7 window switches work properly as well. The weather-stripping was replaced at time of paintjob including new door seals. The interior is mostly original and still looks like the day it rolled off the assembly line. The dash pad and steering wheel are in near mint condition with no cracks unlike most 50+ year old Lincolns. This is a clear indicator the car was never parked outdoors in the hot California sun for too long. The upholstery was redone about 3 years ago in black leather, replaced the headliner with correct perforated style vinyl fabric, installed new wood inserts, did a full dash detail, and trunk compartment detail. All the interior and exterior lights work fine. Original AM radio still turns on and sounds good. The whitewall tires are about a year old and are pretty much still new (paid $1200 for the set). Brakes & suspension work well and car handles and stops good at any speed. I’ve got the original owners manual from 1962, as well as an assembly manual, maintenance manual, and various invoices. I also have the original dealer set of black mats and trunk jack not shown in the pictures but will go with the car.

Known issues; the A/C system is due for a service, still blows cool air but not ice-cold as it’s suppose to. All the interior vents and dash controls work fine. The seat switch needs to be rebuilt or swapped for a replacement (seat only moves in 2 directions right now). Fuel gauge not reading correctly, (might need a new tank floater or calibrate the gauge itself). Aside from these minor issues the Lincoln pretty much looks and runs as good as it did in 1962.

Car is available for inspection by any potential buyer during the auction so feel free to call and set up an appointment (714) 426-9147 -Felix. Bring your mechanic and take it for a spin, you’ll be sold on it after a short drive. I’m not interested in any trades so please don’t ask. This is a No Reserve listing and it well go to the highest bidder no matter what. Thanks for viewing my listing and good luck!

Mustang parts under the new Lincoln Aviator mean good things for Ford

Wed, Mar 28 2018

NEW YORK — As we mentioned last night, underneath the new Lincoln Aviator "concept" there appears to be an independent rear suspension lifted right from the Ford Mustang parts bin. And while it's pretty cool on its face that Mustang rear-drive platform bits are being reused in the broader Ford universe, what this means for the next Explorer could be really cool. A quick caveat: The Aviator here in New York is very close to the production version, but it's not technically a production car. It looks hand-built, with temporary exhaust and some show-car touches. The suspension underneath looks exactly like a Mustang's, but the actual production Aviator will almost certainly use beefier components with the same basic design and geometry, since the Aviator will be much heavier than the smaller Mustang. That being said, we're fairly confident that even at this early stage, the Mustang-derived suspension seen in New York is a preview of what'll be under the production Aviator. Furthermore, Ford won't say it, but based on what we're seeing on Aviator, it's a safe bet that Ford will utilize the Aviator platform for the next Explorer. That would enable the economies of scale necessary to produce a brand new rear-drive-based SUV platform in the first place. It also means that the Explorer should be available without AWD Â— and given the stable of powerful EcoBoost engines, and the competent 10-speed automatic in the parts bin, a rear-drive Explorer has a shot at being a decent driver. Aviator wouldn't go rear-drive-based if driving dynamics weren't important; Explorer should inherit these priorities. More evidence: The Explorer spy shots we saw back in February sure share the Aviator's general proportions. Even back then, before Aviator was revealed, we were hypothesizing that an EcoBoost 3.5-liter-powered version could boast as much as 400 horsepower, if the Expedition's tune were adopted. Suddenly, the Explorer seems very interesting. So, an EcoBoost, rear-drive Explorer sure sounds like something Ford Performance would be interested in, right? We knew an Explorer ST is coming, but with 365-400 horsepower potential and a chassis designed with dynamics in mind, it doesn't seem like as much of a stretch as the Edge ST. And a performance-oriented AWD system is a possibility, too. That's an area where Ford has been gathering experience at a rapid pace. What do we not expect from a new Explorer? A V8.

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

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
