1963 Lincoln Continental Sedan In Silver Mink Metallic - True Survivor on 2040-cars
Chester, New Jersey, United States
|
This 1963 Lincoln Continental sedan in Silver Mink Metallic, factory leather interior true survivor car was found in Connecticut where it sat in storage for over 14 years. This car is virtually original, except for typical maintenance parts, like rotor and cap, plug wires, plugs, etc.. Odometer has 68,286 original miles on it. Paint is original and has not been touched. It does show some signs of crazing and age, and there are a few very minor door dings on the car. The hood has some surface rust as shown in the pictures. There are a couple of small bubbles on the bottom edge of the driver’s door, but this car is as clean and straight as I have ever seen for a 50+ year old original paint car – especially being from the east coast. It does not look like this car ever saw salt and was garage kept its entire life. The chrome is in good shape with very little pitting. There are scratches on the passenger side of the front bumper and the driver side of the rear bumper. One of the hubcaps has some curb rash. There are also two small dents on the rear bumper to the passenger side of the license plate holder. The interior is entirely original and the leather is in very good shape for being 51 years old. The headliner is solid except for a small 1/2 inch tear above the passenger seat. Please see the pictures showing the defects listed above. Also, hood insulation is missing. Unfortunately, the clock does not work. This car has power seats, power locks and power windows. The driver’s side power window switches have either been refurbished or replaced and all power windows work from all switches. Power antenna still works, as does the radio. Blower motor works as do all dash controls – even the cigarette lighter. I am the fourth owner and I have the original order slip, dealer invoice, window sticker, owners manual and receipts that show a good maintenance history by the prior owners. This car has a clean NJ title. I found the car around January 1, 2014 and have performed the following work to it:
When replacing the brake lines and flushing the fuel system, I had to remove the driver’s side-wheel well access panel to get to the brake proportioning valve and fuel lines – the interior of the wheel wells and firewall showed no signs of rust whatsoever and the undercoating looks completely original. This car is a TRUE SURVIVOR, not just an unrestored car. In my opinion, its easily a number 3+ or 2- car. It runs great, shifts are firm and brakes are strong. It will need an exhaust from the resonators back. The door, window and trunk seals are all original and look to be in good shape, but I would not trust them if you plan on leaving the car outside. Although the wide whites look great and have a lot of tread left, I suggest changing them to new wide white radials. The car comes with an Evolution Fabric cover that is specific to the car. Original jack and tools remain and don’t look like they have ever been used. There is nothing to hide with this car and I believe it speaks for itself, especially in person. If you are in the area, stop by and take a look at it. I have been driving it to work on nice days and she runs great! This is a great driver for cruise nights and an even better candidate for restoration or fun custom project. Please feel
free to ask any question about the car or if you want some additional
pictures. Also, although the listing
says local pickup only, if you are within a few hours of New Jersey, we may be
able to work something out for delivery in an enclosed trailer. Cars like this don’t come around very often. If big sixties cruisers are you thing, you
should take advantage of this rare opportunity.
Good luck bidding! |

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Lincoln's $5B revival bid hinges upon new D6 chassis
Mon, 27 Oct 2014It's no secret that Lincoln has received short shrift from the Ford Motor Company for years, and former CEO Alan Mullay even wanted to kill the whole thing off when he ran things. Today, things appear to be trending in a different direction. Fresh investment has helped enable a sizable marketing push for its well-regarded MKC compact crossover, a couple of awards for the company and plant the seeds for a major expansion into China. While the situation is still in the early going, it looks like Lincoln is on a tentative (if long) path towards a turnaround. If new reports are accurate, the brand is poised to build on that momentum with its largest investment in new products in years thanks in large measure to a new modular platform codenamed D6.
According to four unnamed insiders speaking to Reuters, FoMoCo is investing over $5 billion over the next five years, partially to create a new modular platform to underpin multiple Lincoln vehicles - and possibly some Ford products, too. Development is reportedly being overseen by the division's new boss, Kumar Galhotra. At the moment, specific details about the D6 chassis aren't yet known, but it's rumored to have the flexibility to support front-, rear- and all-wheel drive vehicles. According to Reuters, the first model using the framework could be an MKZ replacement and seven-passenger MKT successor in 2019.
Until the D6-based models hit, expect to see continued expansion from Lincoln. Ford management isn't trying to turn around the division overnight and is planning "in terms of generations of products," according to current CEO Mark Fields. The strategy unsurprisingly includes a production version of Lincoln's recent MKX Concept, as well as an all-new Navigator using aluminum-intensive architecture. Reuters also claims the MKS is due for renewal in the meantime, including with a longer-wheelbase version to appeal to the brand's new Chinese buyers.
Ford recalls Explorer, Flex, Taurus for parking brakes
