This car is in Fantastic Condition for its age. No rust on car. Has always been stored indoors.

FIRST TIME BEING OFFERED FOR SALE SINCE  1975. 2 OWNER CAR!

Drives like you are on a cloud and sounds awesome! Plenty of POWER in the 462 inch original motor.

A LOT! Of $ was just invested in this super cool ride to get it freshened up.  Following is a detailed description of the car and items done to it in the past few months.

Interior:

We just had ALL windows on the car completely professionally serviced by a LINCOLN SPECIALIST and they work great from ALL switches. (SEE YOUTUBE VIDEO link below)
1.    All window regulators were cleaned/ lubricated.
2.    Windows were All adjusted.
3.    Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced.

ORIGINAL Seats are in Very good condition front and rear. Leather is soft and nice patina! (you can tell car has been kept indoors due to the nice surviving condition of seats etc.)
Door panels are in good shape
Dashboard is in good shape. minor crack at typical speaker cover in center by windshield.
Carpet is good. Some fading and two small 3 inch spots in rear under floor mats have been repaired but are small and hidden under floor mats.  
Basically interior on car is in very good condition and needs near nothing. I only say “near” because it is a 40+ year old car and is not new. 
Exterior:

The paint on the car is in good shape. 

The car was  re-painted in its original VERY RARE (Charcoal Frost Metallic) Code S.  Plenty of clear coat on the car to shine.  Buyer should expect some minor flaws in the metallic paint here and there along with some minor dings here and there from storage but nothing major. Car was professionally wet sanded and polished this week to bring out the deep shine. I would rate the paint as a good driver+ condition.  Shines great and looks amazing with the new white top and the red interior. Very Rare color combo for this convertible. Car has no rust on it and underneath is very dry and solid. Floors are great. (See Photos) No issues at all. 
Note : For the new Owner, there is a small amount of the original paint color used on the car that will come with it in case anything needs touched up in the future on the car.
Chrome on Front and Rear Bumpers is in good shape. Rated at driver quality. Nice shine, no rust but not perfect.
Door handle chrome is good. minor pits/hazing
 
All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape   

Engine: Original V8 462 CU 

This car starts up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power.  Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger.  A pleasure to drive!

Engine bay is VERY clean and well kept/ detailed. (see photos)

Note: This car has been driven ONLY about 25 miles since being removed from private collection. Drives like a dream with no known issues other than constant THUMBS up from on lookers but should REALLY be looked at by your mechanic before taking on any long trips.  Check belts, hoses, etc to be safe.

Tires are good with 80 tread left.

CONVERTIBLE TOP:  

PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ONE OF THESE LINCOLNS....THE TOP!!!!     
                                                                                       
SEE TOP IN WORKING ACTION on YOUTUBE... type in search window " 1966 charcoal frost lincoln top working"   

VERY VERY Important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions.  This car has just been fully serviced for its Top Functions.  EVERYTHING was gone thru including EVERY Relay, ALL pumps, EVERY LIMIT SWITCH etc. at a cost of over $5000 which did include the power window servicing as well.  Any one that knows these cars, knows that it is VITAL to buy one already serviced for its top.  They are not cheap to have fully serviced but once this is complete they will work and last for another 40 years.  This service was just completed last week.  After that we took it to have a brand new original style pin point vinyl top installed which was an additional $2200 from upholstery shop. 

Everything operates just as it did from the factory.  

Top can be raised and lowered with ease FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE BY GAS TANK SWITCH, and it is quite the site to see!!! 
see video at You Tube

 NOTE: IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LINCOLNS OF THIS ERA, THEY HAD A KEYED SWITCH BY GAS TANK TO OPEN TRUNK. This works too.

SUMMARY…All the EXPENSIVE & hard work/RESTORATION is done on this car. No disappointments here. Car just needs minor items to be show quality.  Email me today to get this one before its too late!!!

Buy today and be cruising tomorrow!

I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAR IS OVER 40 YEARS OLD AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN RESTORED, CARS OF THIS ERA WILL ALWAYS NEED SOMETHING FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NEW. 

Email questions. Thanks!

BUY with CONFIDENCE!!!

I do my best to accurately describe the car and assist buyers through every step of the purchase!  

Thanks again and GOOD LUCK

Please Keep in  mind…

2015 Lincoln Navigator

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Typically, when I approach a new vehicle launch, it's with a degree of optimism. Nowadays, we just expect that every new vehicle will pose a legitimate challenge to segment leaders. Mid-cycle refreshes, meanwhile, have taken on a greater degree of importance, as customers' preferences for the freshest vehicles remains strong and automakers rush to keep the latest tech in their offerings.
Conversely, I admit to not being terribly optimistic hopping into the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I was the first person from Autoblog to see the new model in the metal, way back in January ahead of its Chicago Auto Show debut, and my initial reaction was far from positive. But, as I'd been the one that initially tested the new Cadillac Escalade and had just finished a week in the long-wheelbase version of General Motors' most premium SUV, I was a natural candidate to head down to Louisville, KY - home of Navigator production - to sample the brand's latest.
Lincoln's attempt at freshening the old Navigator's bling-bling face is pretty typical of today's more thorough mid-cycle refreshes, with dramatically new front and rear clips. The addition of standard 20-inch wheels or optional 22s - in place of standard 18s and optional 20s - goes a long way towards modernizing the Navigator's staid exterior. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to finer leather, which covers most of the dash as well as the steering wheel and seats. Warm Ziricote wood would prove to be a particular highlight on the top-flight Reserve model that I drove (the only trim available for us to test).

Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator

Wed, Nov 8 2017

General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:

How Lincoln could make itself special again

Tue, May 9 2017

Things are going better for the Lincoln brand — or, more properly, The Lincoln Motor Company — so far this year, and are likely to continue to do so, comparatively speaking. In the first quarter of 2017, the brand's sales are up 8.7 percent compared with the same period last year. Lincoln delivered 27,083 units in the first quarter. The Continental is certainly a boon, with 3,209 units (almost 12 percent of the total number), something Lincoln didn't have in the first quarter of 2016. Its crossovers, the MKC and MKX, were up 15 and 11.2 percent, respectively, and while the Navigator SUV was down 16.2 percent, the new 2018 model will certainly boost that nameplate. Still, there is undoubtedly a glass — or crystal — ceiling for Lincoln (as well as for Cadillac) that it's not likely to break through regarding total US sales. No matter how you look at it, the US luxury market is dominated by import brands, and there is no reason to think that's going to change. Ever. According to Autodata, for the first quarter of 2017 there were 213,817 luxury vehicles delivered, of which 170,780 were from import brands and 43,037 domestic. While there is a good likelihood that Lincoln will gain some ground, given the lineup extensions that the likes of Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Lexus are making, as well as the creation of new brands like Genesis and the traction of Tesla, it is going to be all the more challenging for any company to get any significant growth in the luxury category. So growth for Lincoln, yes. Notable growth? No. But there is something the company could do to generate revenue separate from the car and crossover business. It may not make a lot of money in and of itself, but it can provide a distinct edge in the product segment that would cement Lincoln with a unique offering. Kumar Galhorta, president of Lincoln, frequently talks about "experiences." About how the company is working to relieve or eliminate "pain points" from its customers. About how time — or the perceived lack thereof — is something Lincoln is working to address. And it's doing so in a way that gives it a distinctiveness vis-a-vis the competitive set. Lincoln's services are creating a buzz in a way that Matthew McConaughey ads never will. Lincoln is addressing it through service. As in offering pickup and delivery for service appointments for all new 2017 Lincoln models.
