1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
1966 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 4 DOOR CONVERTIBLE. THE LAST OF THE MOJICANS!!
I bought this car 5 years ago from the second owner in California, which he had in storage for 25 years. This is a true rust free California car. This car is black with a black top and white interior with black stitching. I had this car painted 2 years ago. I'm talking about: doors, hood, trunk, etc everything came off. Sand blasted to the bare metal, everything has been redone except the motor. It has a 462 in excellent working condition with a little over 83,000 original miles, with an automatic transmission. All the chrome was taken off, the bumpers, handles, moldings you name it came off the car to be professionally sand blasted and re chromed. The alternator, starter, battery, radiator, hoses, cables, a/c compressor , have been rebuilt or replaced. The air conditioner condenser that the 1966 Lincoln brings is made of metal. I had it replaced for a new one made of aluminum which makes the air conditioner cool better. I'm in Miami and its hot here in the summer. The interior and top are brand new done by professionals 2 weeks ago, exactly like the factory the door panel stayed the same to keep the original pattern. The tires are white walls which have less than 300 miles on them. When it comes to the top I have changed almost all of the relays and motors that make this incredible top mechanism function. Everything is in perfect working order. The window switches have all been replaced, even the small vent windows work perfectly . I have over $45,000 invested in this car. I can say from 1 to 10 this one is a good 9. It's not a ten because I use the car and it has small nicks and nacks on the paint here and there but very minor. Like any old car convertible when it rains it has small leaks here and there, very small just needs a little adjusting if you've had any antiques before all old cars leak oil here and there. I have spent $$$$ and replaced almost all the seals from the top and windows they have all been ordered from LINCOLN LAND IN LAKE LAND FLORIDA, which specializes on Lincoln's. I have a stack of receipts, you can bring your mechanic before you buy and you could see for yourself what a great running engine this is. I have described and listed this car as best as I could, it has been kept in a warehouse. I had a second radio installed inside the glove box and 4 speakers (1 in each door and the other 2 , 1 on each side) thats the only thing not original. I have seen a lot of Lincoln's on eBay and in the streets and NONE compare to this one. I entered them in 2 car shows, 1 last year, it was a charity event in Miami Coconut Grove Barnacle Park. Out of 75 cars it was voted coolest car and the 2nd was the Art Of Palm Avenue in Hialeah Florida over 250 cars it was voted Best in Show. I could tell you that this car turns heads from young to old, they will look anywhere you go. People love this car, I love this car!!!. A lot of love has been put into it, I have been through a lot to get it to where it is at today. But I have to let it go... my loss, your gain. If this is what you are looking for? AND CAN AFFORD IT?? Im asking $37,500, but will entertain serious offers. If you would like to come see it in person: I'm in Miami. Believe me, it drives like a dream especially on the expressway. "PLEASE NO DREAMERS!!!" "THIS CAR IS SOLD AS IN NO WARRANTIES!!!!" *This car is also for sale locally buyer has the right to end auction early, thanks* |

Ford issues recalls for Fiesta, Fusion, E-Series, and Lincoln MKZ
Wed, Mar 25 2020Ford has issued two new safety recalls for North America. The first covers certain 2014-15 Ford Fiestas, 2014-16 Ford Fusions, and 2014-16 Lincoln MKZs with doors that might not close properly. The second pertains to 2021 Ford E-Series stripped chassis and cutaway vehicles with a wiring harness that might chaffe and expose important wiring.  Ford is recalling 268,343 Fiesta hatchbacks, Fusion sedans, and MKZ sedans across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with 248,912 of the affected vehicles located in the U.S. The recall says the "latch pawl spring-tab design" could crack in locations where the temperature gets too hot. If the tab breaks, the door might not shut. Or, worse, the door will shut temporarily and reopen once the vehicle is in motion. As a fix, Ford dealers will remove and replace the side door latches. In a separate recall, Ford is targeting 3,631 2021 E-Series stripped chassis and cutaway vehicles. These vehicles could have frame-mounted wiring harnesses that could deteriorate and break due to rubbing on the frame. If the chaffing wears down the harness, wiring for the fuel, trailer tow, and antilock braking systems could be exposed and damaged. In the worst-case scenario, the damage to the fuel pump wiring could cause the pump to stop working, which could stall the vehicle. Those with affected E-Series vehicles should bring them in to dealerships for inspection. If there is no damage, technicians will add anti-abrasion tape over the area and "ensure clearance to surrounding components." If the harness is damaged, the wiring will be spliced and fixed, then anti-abrasion tape will be added. Ford also issued a third recall, but it is specifically for the Canadian market. On 54,292 examples of 2006-10 Ford Fusions, 2006-10 Mercury Milans, and 2006-10 Lincoln MKZs, a valve inside the hydraulic control unit might stick open. According to Ford, this could result in a longer brake pedal travel, which could possibly create dangerous situations if the driver is unaware. Dealerships will inspect the control units and replace those that are defective. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Lincoln Continental suicide doors: A lot has changed since 1961
Mon, Dec 17 2018It looks like we've hit peak Lincoln Continental for the 21st century with the Coach Door Edition. At least, 80 people will be enjoying the best that Lincoln (and Cabot Coach Builders) can offer. We figured now was a perfect time to look back at the original Continental with suicide doors, now that there's a return to form. Make sure to scroll through the barrage of historical Continental photos Lincoln provided to us from its archive above. Lincoln was aiming to offer a design throwback to the 1961 Continental with its return to suicide doors. Back then, Lincoln wanted a car to compete with GM's " Standard of the World," ergo Cadillac. The goal was to make a car so enticing that people might want to buy a Lincoln instead of a Cadillac as their next luxury-mobile. It never stomped down Cadillac, but the Continental made a strong statement. Sales spiked at 54,755 Continentals in 1966 – Cadillac sold 196,685 cars that same year. For nine years (1961-1969), Lincoln made the Continental with suicide doors as the only option (barring the two-door coupe introduced in 1966). The car was offered as a four-door convertible or hardtop for most of the suicide-door generation, but the convertible was dropped after 1967. It was the droptop that was most iconic, and the car many of us picture today when thinking about that Continental. The pillar-less look of the Convertible with the top removed and the doors swung wide exudes class and luxury. This generation of Continental appeared in movies like "James Bond's Goldfinger", and more recently in "The Matrix." Celebrities owned them back in the day. Who doesn't want to exit their large convertible through suicide doors onto the red carpet, right? 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition View 51 Photos Obviously, Lincoln wanted the normal Continental released for model year 2017 to take the world by storm. As rumors swirl of its untimely death after 2020, it's safe to say the new Continental hasn't exactly done that. What if it had suicide doors to begin with? Would we have been looking at the next Mercedes beater? Probably not. But still, we would have been blown away if that's what Lincoln showed us at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Maybe those in the market would have been too. The new Continental with suicide doors serves an entirely different purpose than the original. Producing only 80 of them makes sure of that. Maybe a few celebrities will buy one, but this one won't have the same cultural impact of the old.
