We are proud to offer for sale a rare 1966 Lincoln 4 Door Convertible VIN # 6Y86G413847, one of a limited
production run of 3180 produced in 1966. We acquired this car in April of 2010. This car has been in restoration
for almost 6 years, the car was recently completed and just this June Bakers Auto of CT went over the whole car and
made all the necessary repairs to make sure this is a reliable and truly original 66 Lincoln. It took us months to
find the correct car and this vehicle was a clean rust free, complete car with original paint and no prior body
work. We have restored this car to its original condition; only a few small things have been upgraded like the
brake master cylinder, AC converted to R134A, Dynamat added to the floor panel, and exterior color changed to
black; otherwise this car is completely original. No expense was spared to use NOS or rebuilt parts to keep the
cars originality and to make sure it drives and works like new, just like it was in 1966. All original parts were
saved and will be passed on to the new owner. This was not a frame off restoration but came very close to it.
Please review all the pictures and you will observe that the engine and transmission were removed and parts around
them were sand blasted and coated in either paint or POR-15 to protect the chassis and frame cross members from
rust. The only sheet metal part that had to be cut off and replaced was the battery tray; for some odd reason Ford
used cheap metal to make the trays therefore they always have to be replaced. At this time the vehicle has been
driven over 800 miles since it was put together. Each mile driven was used to make adjustments and fine tune it,
Bakers Auto put on about 150 miles while testing driving the car. We are confident to say that this car can be
driven cross-country without any hesitation; we did 250 mile just to bring the car back from Bakers Auto no issues
at all. Below we will do our best to make a list of parts and work done to the vehicle. The car is painted in
Global PPG Color BMW black sapphire metallic 475. The clear is a PPG DELTRON 4000 the car has four coats all
around. The interior is done in white leather with black piping; the carpet is made by Jim Wallace of Leather
Restorations in Florida the only company making an exact carpet specifically made for this car and has a the
original rubber padding with the Lincoln logo like the car had when new. The top is also made by Jim Wallace and is
an exact replica of the factory top with padding to hide the wires. The top received all brand new
weather-stripping; it took over 6 months to receive the handmade parts and the top weather stripping kit alone
costs over $4K. The entire top and window electronics work like new: all of the window switches have been replaced
and all new window motors installed. The rear windows roll down half way when you open the doors and roll up when
the doors are closed. All of the hydraulic top motors were replaced, with brand new parts. All of the rubber
moldings and padding all around the car are brand new. Over $8k has been spent just on the weather stripping. The
engine was rebuilt by Complete Engine Rebuilding in NY in 2013. The transmission was rebuilt in July of 2015 by
Dolphin Transmissions of NY. We supplied a complete Fatsco rebuilt kit so everything including the valve body was
replaced. The cooling system is all brand new including the radiator, expansion tanks and all the hoses. The fuel
system was completely rebuild with new filter and most of the lines replaced. The carburetor was rebuild using all
original parts by J.C. Carburetor of NY, the fuel pump was rebuild by Bakers Auto in CT and the Fuel Tank by
Liberty Auto In NY. The AC system has been updated to R134A: every part from the condenser, AC compressor, hoses,
expansion valves are brand new; the only rebuilt part is the evaporator. Just this June Bakers tested the AC
system. The rear leaf springs and the suspension were rebuilt as well using all new bushings, shocks and bolts; all
parts were provided by Bakers Auto and the work was done by Long Life Auto Spring in NY. The front end is
completely new: most parts were brand new NOS; the calipers and the control arms we rebuilt since no replacements
are available. The brake system has all brand new lines, the brake booster was updated. Bakers adjusted and
replaced some parts just this June. The power steering system has been rebuilt with all new hoses and filters the
system was checked over and tested by Bakers in June. The exhaust system is Stainless Steel and is completely new
with new headers. The wheels were all sandblasted and powder coated in black to match the car. The tires were put
on this June, Coker Tires brand American Classic 235/75/15 white walls brand new with less than 200 miles on them;
we added the warranty from Coker that will pass on to the new owner . The spare wheel was also repaired and
sandblasted in the grey original factory color; a brand new tire for the spare wheel installed. The trunk has a
brand new upholstery kit also manufactured by Jim Wallace. All of the chrome and steel parts were sent out to S & H
Chrome Refinishing in Tennessee: we have over $16K in re-chromed parts. We are confident we have not mentioned even
half the improvement and restoration work that was done on this vehicle. If you have any questions about a
particular part or how certain repair was completed, we have documented the process and can answer any questions
and address all concerns. The receipts for labor and parts add up to much more than what we are asking for the car
but at this time we must let this one go…

Lincoln revival bypasses rear-wheel drive for now

Wed, Nov 25 2015

Ford execs had the axe ready for Lincoln just a few years ago, but the luxury marque is on a hot streak these days. Annual sales are up 7.5 percent through October, and the recently unveiled, refreshed 2017 MKZ previews the company's improved styling. In a great piece about the brand's growth strategy, Automotive News finds the division's bosses want to focus on the core vehicles before taking a big step and building a rear-wheel drive niche model. "Luxury coupes and sports cars are not the first place we need to go," Global Lincoln Director Matt VanDyke said in the story. The division's bosses want to use the updated MKZ as an opportunity to distance Lincoln's identity from Ford, and the powertrain will carry the 3.0T badge rather than Ford's EcoBoost name as part of that approach. The model also injects excitement into the range thanks to an all-wheel drive version with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and an optional Driver's Package with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Lincoln will launch at least three new models by 2020, too. One of those will be the production Continental that will reportedly debut at the Detroit Auto Show. The company will also allegedly revive the Aviator to fit below the Navigator. The third vehicle remains a mystery but likely isn't a compact. Automotive News' story further examines the previously languishing brand's work to climb up the luxury ranks in the US. It's well worth a read. Related Video:

Lincoln plans pilot subscription service for pre-owned vehicles

Fri, Mar 30 2018

Lincoln's foray into the world of monthly subscriptions will follow the mold of Ford's Canvas program and launch a pilot service offering a range of pre-owned 2017 Lincoln vehicles in West Los Angeles and the San Francisco area. Lincoln first announced plans for a subscription service on the sidelines of the L.A. Auto Show. The luxury automaker says its new service will allow customers to have a vehicle "as if it were their own," with a monthly payment that covers a prescribed mileage package and includes comprehensive insurance, warranty, maintenance and roadside assistance. It'll be based on Ford's nearly year-old Canvas program, also offered in the Bay Area and West Los Angeles. It offers pre-owned Ford vehicles on a monthly subscription basis, including insurance, maintenance and warranty coverage. Terms for that program are one to 12 months, with an ability to swap cars at any time. While Lincoln didn't announced pricing or a start date for its own subscription program, Canvas' existing service starts at $400 a month, not including tax and depending on vehicle and other options, for pre-owned Ford vehicles. Ford in February said its Canvas fleet has more than 600 customers who've logged more than 3 million miles in the two markets. Lincoln joins a growing list of automakers including Volvo, Cadillac and Porsche who are offering monthly subscription services as an alternative to traditional ownership or leasing. The subscription service will also come with Lincoln's Pickup & Delivery program, in which a valet picks up a customer's vehicle for service at any location and provides them with a loaner Lincoln before returning their vehicle. Lincoln also reiterated its plans to expand its Lincoln Personal Driver service first piloted in San Diego and Miami to Dallas, saying it will soon be integrated into the Lincoln Way mobile app. The service, previously called Lincoln Chauffeur, allows customers to call on a screened personal driver who can also assist with errands while the customers attend to other matters. The luxury brand is emphasizing "warm, human and effortless" services as a way to differentiate itself from its competitors.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
