1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States

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. |

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost
Tue, 13 Nov 2012A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.
Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
