*Low Reserve Auction* This is a solid California car that is ready to drive for the summer. This classic is powered by the 430 cu. big block with 320 factory horsepower. This engine spun like a top when I got it but wanted to make sure it was dependable. So the top end was overhauled and there was no piece that didn't get sand blasted or resurfaced. All new hardware was used to compliment the restored block and manifolds. Intake and exhaust manifolds were hot tanked, sand blasted and coated cast gray for that factory look. Since the bottom end of the engine looked good I decided a new urethane main seal and oil pan gasket would only be fitting for this power plant. This engine includes rebuilt heads with all new valves, guides and seats, all new freeze plugs, gaskets, lifters, rebuilt power steering pump, rebuilt AC compressor, new fuel pump, coil, distributor, cap and rotor, 8.8 custom crimped spark plug wires, 600cc Edelbrock carb. with electric choke that hooks up with the original linkage flawlessly. The engine also breathes alot more freely since installing a complete dual exhaust system with aluminized 2 1/4" pipes. The exhaust flows thru two 18" glass packs for a mild classic rumble. The coolant system was not overlooked as I rebuilt the all copper heater core, radiator as well as the water pump. The coolant flows green with all new fittings, hoses (upper/lower radiator and heater hoses) and an upgraded radiator fill neck that takes the guess work out of the factory pressure bottle. The alt., battery, starter, and solenoid are also new with fresh batt. cables and grounds. The new twin v-belts keep the fan cooling the radiator even on hot days. This car was my daily driver for 3 months straight this year and never gave me any trouble. The transmission was a smooth shifter when I bought the car 4 years ago, so I just replaced the seals while the engine was out. The trans. still shifts just as smooth and doesn't leak oil. The brakes work very good with the shoes I put on and the booster works just like it did in 1964. The factory wiring and vacuum lines are all in tact, there is no aftermarket hacks on this wiring. All switches and lights work, including the map light, dome light, gauges, fan blower, cigarette lighters, horn, electric antenna, 6-way power seats, power windows with power wing vents, blinkers, headlights and even has the rare hazard light option from the dealership (not standard equip. until 1966). The power steering pump works the windshield wipers and the new blades on this vehicle just as it was designed to, yes I said power steering fluid. The vacuum options also are all functional including vacuum actuated door locks, tilt steering column, emergency brake with auto release on the shifter and the all important vacuum boosted brakes. This car floats on the suspension, has great alignment, and roars with power when you need it. The interior is in great shape with only a tear in the drivers seat. The glass is in great shape with no cracks. Trim is so important on these oddball Lincolns because costs are very high trying to piece together a nice set, no worries here as the trim is all present inside and out with a great finish on it. The locks are all working with a key for ignition/trunk and one for the door locks. Luckily there are no big rust issues as this is a true California car. This car also has a solid deck lid, which isn't as common as you think (the manufacturer didn't primer the inside of the deck lid panels before welding them together so most rusted from inside out). The bumpers are in good shape with no accidents on them. Then wheels that came with the car were aftermarket so I replaced them with Wheel Vintique factory replacements which were painted gloss black professionally with a clear coat to keep them shinning thru the years. However I have not been able to find a set of hubcaps, but they are still available for this year on the internet. The tires are brand new also with minimal wear on them. The engine case was sanded, sealed and painted while the engine was out. The trunk has been undercoated and sealed with new weatherstripping. Cool-tec sound/heat suppressing mat was laid over the undercoated trunk floor. The body on this car is straight with no dents or scratches. This car was painted professionally at the beginning of the year and I have waxed it every time I washed it. It is kept indoors but it would certainly stand up to outdoor storage. The paint is very shinny and always gets compliments as well as having brand new tail light lenses that make this classic sharp. On a technical note this vehicle's carb. was tuned for 94 ft. above sea level, so it might have to be adjusted to meet your altitude conditions. Also the timing is retarded a few degrees to compensate for the lower octane fuels available at the pump these days (this engine was originally designed to run 100 octane fuel). This vehicle has original black California license plates that come with the car if it is sold in California but if it is a out of state sale, I will retain the black plates (no sense in turning in those historical plates to your local DMV). Still with the car is the original owner's manual. This vehicle is owned by me alone and is free and clear of any liens, my registration is current and has no back fees. I have many dollars, hours and memories in this car and I am sad to see it go, but I have other cars and I can't keep them all unfortunately. I am a straight toward and fair person but I do not have to fire sale this car, so no low ball email please. All the hard work has been done for you on this one and all you have to do is buy and drive. A $500 deposit is do within 24 hrs. of the end of the auction via PayPal. The remaining balance will be paid thru cash in person, money order, or bank transfer. The car will be released immediately with a cash or bank transfer, however I will not release vehicle with money order until 3 business days after check has been cashed to verify it will not be canceled. If the deposit is not received in the timed frame mentioned above, I have the right to terminate the sale if I feel necessary. Shipping is local pickup only and I am willing to work with the shipper to make this transaction as painless as possible. Thank you for your interest.

Lincoln MKC Concept shows real promise [w/video]
Sun, 13 Jan 2013Ford's efforts to resuscitate its moribund Lincoln luxury brand began in earnest with the introduction of its 2014 MKZ sedan, a model many labeled as the marque's make-or-break offering. Of course, one model does not a comeback make, and with the MKZ just now starting to trickle into dealers, it will be some time before America's jury of consumers comes in with their judgment. More to the point, it's likely to take better than a decade's worth of products and sustained marketing effort to even begin to figure out whether Lincoln has a shot at redemption or if it will die of Mercury poisoning. After all, rival General Motors has been pouring resources into Cadillac since the late '90s, and if the sales charts are any guidance, it's still probably too early to declare its rebirth a success.
Certainly, a brand with Ford's resources, free of distractions (read: the now-defunct Premier Auto Group and various other side projects) should be able to successfully market a single luxury brand, particularly one with such a rich - if distant - history. Especially now with the Blue Oval enjoying more consumer goodwill than at any time in recent history. So let's all give Alan Mulally and friends a little room to work, eh?
We can start by focusing on the compact crossover seen before you, the Lincoln MKC Concept. Riding atop the same global C-platform that underpins the Ford C-Max, Escape and Focus, the MKC showcar here presages a production small CUV that will stick its distinctive nose into one of the auto industry's fastest-growing segments.
2017 Acura NSX #001 is finally here | Autoblog Minute
Sat, May 28 2016The first 2017 Acura NZX rolls off the line in Ohio and Lincoln may be ditching some initials for a classic nameplate. Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] The first 2017 Acura NSX rolled off the assembly line this week in Marysville, Ohio. Marking the return of the iconic supercar. VIN #001 went to Nascar Owner Rick Handpick. He paid $1.2M at auction for the first NSX. The proceeds went to charity. The 2017 NSX uses a twin turbo V6 teamed with three electric motors to make a total of 573-hp and 476-lb.ft of torque. The supercar also runs a nine speed dual clutch transmission and AWD. The starting price is $157,800 but you can option this thing out to well over $200k. Ford Motor Company applied this month to get the rights to the trademark for the word Zephyr. Lincoln is using some real names again aside from these MKC and MKX things that don't mean a lot to the general public. The Navigator is going strong and a new one comes on next year. Plus it brought back the Continental which was a well revived move. So Zephyr should ring a bell it was used in the 1930s and 40s, it was also used a little less memorably in 2006 on a Lincoln model that was essentially a rebadged Ford Fusion. Here's the take away: we think the MKZ might be rebadge as the Lincoln Zephyr. For Autoblog I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

2018 Lincoln Navigator ad has more weird Matthew McConaughey
Thu, Dec 28 2017Now that new 2018 Lincoln Navigators are on their way to dealers, it's once again time for Matthew McConaughey to be weird behind the wheel in a new commercial. Things start out normally enough with the actor sitting in the SUV at a railroad crossing. But don't worry, it gets strange soon enough because for the rest of the commercial, McConaughey just drums on the Lincoln's steering wheel, a bit like in that disconcerting lunch scene in The Wolf of Wall Street. And the whole time, the actor doesn't say a word. He just drums along to the train and the crossing bells. Then he drives away. And that's it. It's just McConaughey drumming. The ad actually doesn't even show much of the Navigator, and obviously there isn't a word said about it. The most you might be able to learn about the Navigator from this commercial is that it's an SUV, it has an interior that has chrome and leather, and it has those "piano key" buttons for the shifter. We get that the first McConaughey commercials went viral and were frequently parodied for how bizarre they were, and the last Continental ad was also pretty off-the-wall. That was all good for getting attention from younger buyers, but we wonder if these ads are losing their punch and effectiveness. And if they have, then this ad doesn't do anything else to give buyers a sense of what the Navigator is. That's a shame, because the newest Navigator has a lot going for it. Instead, we get McConaughey drumming. Enjoy. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
