This old hot rod is in need of some love for sure. It's either going to make a really good parts car, or a sweet custom restoration. I've had this car for over 15 years and have been plagued with the same problem all along, I live in the city and I have no place to park it. I haven't driven the car in about 7 years other than to move it. I do start it from time to time. It's time to let the old gal go. So here's all that's both wrong and right with it no B.S.
I'm happy to take any extra pics you would like and send them along.

The good:

Hubs and brakes:

First off the brake hubs, which are pretty much impossible to find. The two on the front are both re-casts from Lincoln Parts International. Unless they have done another batch I got the last two. They have very few miles on them. The hubs for the back are also in very good shape. They are currently not installed. The break hydraulics have been replaced. I have two sets of new unused pads.

Transmission completely rebuilt by Aamco (yes I know I was an idiot to do that). 

Replaced the steering box. (Rebuilt unit from Lincoln Parts Int.)

I had a low rider sub frame put in the car (of course not for the purpose of making it jump). Even though the base of the car needs metal work you can open all four doors and jump all over it. For a unibody convertible of this era, it's totally rigid.

Two of the window motors are rebuilt, not installed. All the glass is good.

The not so good:

There is a dent in the drivers side door, but nothing that can't be popped out from the inside.

Interior is a complete redo.

Although it's pretty much all there mechanically, the automatic roof is not working and there is no vinyl top.

The floors, trunk and wheel wells need metal work.

Rear right exhaust pipe (after the muffler) needs to be replaced.

There is some bubbling and chipping on the paint job.

Window switches need replacing.

Power steering pump is leaking and needs rebuilding.

Fuel gauge doesn't work.

Speedo doesn't work.


General Stuff:

Car has about 110,000 miles on it and runs fine.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.

Lincoln Continental death looms with changes at Flat Rock Plant

Tue, Aug 20 2019

Ford's Flat Rock Assembly plant just south of Detroit produces the Ford Mustang and the Lincoln Continental. Automotive News reports that the automaker plans to produce two battery-electric crossovers at the facility, the EVs scheduled for sale in the 2023 model year. The EVs were previously meant to be built in Ford's Cuautitlan Stamping and Assembly plant in Mexico, which builds the Fiesta. According to the AN piece, moving the EVs to Michigan means the end of Lincoln Continental production in the U.S. Sunset is expected in "late 2021" for a sedan that is just three years old, and that never got the momentum to assert itself and reassert the Continental nameplate. The Continental has been on death watch since at least March 2018, when Ford Authority reported that the luxury sedan wouldn't get more than one generation. The changing of several guards in the top ranks scotched a plan to move the Continental onto the CD6 platform for rear- and all-wheel-drive vehicles. In September 2018, Jalopnik put more meat on those crossbones, saying Flat Rock workers alleged the big Lincoln could bid adieu as soon as this year, and automaker insiders had seen production merely scheduled — not approved — for 2020, with nothing beyond that. Then, as now, Ford appears to be leaving open the possibility for Continental production to continue in China, and just maybe be exported here. The two twinned midsized EVs, using the codenames CDX746 and CDX747, would come in Ford and Lincoln flavors. Said to be roughly the size of the Ford Edge/Lincoln Nautilus platform siblings, the automaker has requested suppliers gear up for annual production of up to 65,000 units between the two models. When they arrive, they'll form part of the 16 EVs Ford plans to have on the market worldwide by 2022. The others we know of so far are the crossover that will channel the Mustang, an electric F-150 pickup, and an EV project with Rivian.
