PLEASE READ THIS AD ENTIRELY BEFORE BIDDING OR ASKING QUESTIONS PLEASE...

I HAVE UP FOR SALE MY "REAL" 1965 CONVERTIBLE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT RIGHT NOW. BUT,IT IS COMPLETE AND DOES NOT NEED ANYTHING PARTS WISE EXCEPT A REAR TAIL LIGHT. IT IS PRETTY BADLY BENT AND WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR. ALSO,THE REAR BUMPER HAS A SILVER DOLLAR SIZE HOLE IN IT. IN MY OPINION I THINK A GOOD CHROME SHOP COULD FILL IT AND RE CHROME THE BUMPER,OR YOU COULD TRY TO FIND A NEW ONE.
  I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE 2010 WITH FULL INTENTIONS OF RESTORING THIS CAR 100% WITHOUT CUTTING CORNERS. I STARTED BY HAVING ALL THE TRIM AND CHROME REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND STRIPPED TO BARE METAL TO SEE WHAT ATTENTION WAS NEEDED WHERE. THE CAR HAD THE TYPICAL RUST THAT THESE CARS TYPICALLY GET IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS AND REAR QUARTER PANELS. ALL THAT WAS REMOVED AND FIXED CORRECTLY WITH METAL "NOT" BONDO. THE BODYWORK IS REALISTICALLY 95% DONE. THE BODY JUST NEEDS A ONCE OVER TO GET THE LIGHT SURFACE RUST OFF,(DUE TO IT NOT BEING PRIMERED) PRIMERED AND BLOCKED BEFORE PAINT.THE REST OF THE CAR IS SOLID. FLOORS ARE GOOD.
  THE CAR DOES NOT RUN. BUT IT DOES HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR IN IT AND IS COMPLETE.WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE OWNER WAS HOME BOUND AND COULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE. THE CAR SAT FOR A FEW YEARS PRIOR TO HIM SELLING IT TO ME,AND SAID BEFORE LISTING IT,IT WOULD TURNOVER BUT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I GOT THE CAR SHIPPED TO ME,I TRIED TO START IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BUT BEING I WAS GOING TO DO A FULL RESTORATION,I REALLY WASN'T CONCERNED WITH THAT BEING I WAS GOING TO REBUILD THE MOTOR ANYWAY.
  THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY MIDNIGHT BLUE,WITH A WHITE TOP AND WHITE INTERIOR. ALL THE PUMPS,MOTORS ETC. APPEAR TO BE INTACT AND ALL THERE FOR THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE TOP WAS NOT WORKING WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE PICTURES I AM LISTING IS THE CAR'S CURRENT STATE OF CONDITION. IT DOES LOOK LIKE A BIT OF A MESS BUT,IT'S ALL THERE. AS I SAID BEFORE THIS IS A RESTORATION PROJECT.IT WILL NEED TO BE HAULED/TRAILERED. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. NOT SALVAGE. NOT REBUILT.
  I AM LISTING THIS CAR AT A VERY REASONABLE "NO RESERVE" PRICE.  THIS IS A "ONE YEAR" BODY STYLE CONTINENTAL THAT LINCOLN ENTHUSIASTS LOVE AND DESIRE. PLEASE "DO NOT" BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT OR DON'T HAVE INTENTIONS OF PAYING FOR IT. THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT CAR TO BUY AND GREAT CAR TO HAVE AT A PRICE THAT YOU WON'T SEE AGAIN. MOST OF THESE CARS ARE EITHER COMPLETELY RESTORED AND VERY EXPENSIVE,OR DRIVERS THAT STILL COST ALOT AND STILL NEED WORK. GET ONE THAT'S AFFORDABLE AND DO IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT,THE RIGHT WAY! FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR LOOKING...

Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van

Wed, Jan 28 2015

Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.

Is Lincoln working on a Continental concept?

Wed, Mar 25 2015

The Lincoln Continental wasn't included in our post on the list of trademarks we'd like to see turned into production vehicles – the only Lincoln mention was our idea of transferring its Aviator name to a special edition Ford Mustang. But, like you, the idea of a resurrected Continental is always with us, especially when we read articles about the brand's efforts to redefine American luxury. Ford applied for the Continental trademark in 1953 and renewed in 2005, and it appears they might have something to show for it soon. A web snooper found a development site at the Lincoln domain that introduces us to the "elegantly styled and boldly distinctive Lincoln Continental Concept." There are no images, but we've combined all the text into a single image, above, and the hints we get in three blurb texts inform us that "It represents who we are as a carmaker," that it's an "envisioning of what's to come," that "No question went unanswered" and "No answer went unchallenged," and that it "is everything we know about cars, and everything we understand about people." We also found the tagline "Follow us forward," which doesn't appear on any published Lincoln site page at the moment, and the public is invited to get involved (eventually) by tweeting Continental stories and photos. Could this be the next step in the turgid drama Lincoln Rising? We look forward to finding out. Related Video:

MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We were admittedly bullish about the Lincoln MKC Concept when we introduced it to you yesterday, as we were taken aback by how cohesive the C-platform crossover is in the metal. As it turns out, so were you, dear reader. With hundreds of comments booked on our original Deep Dive story, the overwhelming temperature of the Autoblog Commenteriat is one of surprise and delight - quite an accomplishment for a marque that many had written off for dead. The reception here under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show appears to be no less positive, but we thought you might want a second, closer look afforded by these live photos.
Lincoln remains mum on production MKC drivetrain specifics (we're thinking it will start with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder out of its similarly sized Ford Escape relative, or maybe the midlevel 1.6-liter), but we shouldn't have to wait too long. The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept." That's good news, as the MKC is pivotal to Lincoln's effort to rebuild awareness and consideration on the back of its MKZ sedan, a model just now going on sale. In fact, with the small crossover segment exploding, the MKC could very well turn out to be more important to the brand than the MKZ.
After seeing these new photos, are you more or less enamored with Lincoln's new concept? Leave a comment after voting in our poll below.
