1966 Lincoln Continental Suicide Door Convertible on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
|
1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible Thank you for looking. This car is complete and unmodified, except for paint, with a clear title and 82,215 actual miles. Originally Dark Metallic Green, has since been painted Black. Included are the owners manual, 1 set of original keys, and 1 set of NOS key blanks. We purchased the car in May 1990 from someone in Ohio, and it had 70600 miles on the odometer. It has been a California car ever since, but being from Ohio, there is rust in the body, and Bondo filler too, although the previous owner told us there wasn't any rust. Contact me if you would like closer up pictures than what is here in the listing. So it will need paint and body work to be a show quality car, but not necessary to be driveable. To my knowledge, there are no rust holes in any of the floor pans either. We drove the car until 1993, and it has sat, covered, since then. It was parked because of needing a new Master Cylinder, and all the transmission seals need replacing too. Never found the time to work on the car, so it just sat. Now it is time to let it move on to someone who can put the time and care into it. The 462 engine starts easily and runs smooth. There is a small crack in the right side exhaust manifold. The gas in the tank is over 20 years old, so the gas tank will probably need cleaning. To start it every once in a while, I run a fuel line from the fuel pump to a gas can to use fresh gas. The transmission shifts smoothly too, but as mentioned above, needs all the seals and gaskets replaced. It runs good, but is not driveable as is. Twenty some years ago, all windows and window switches worked, except the rear door windows don't drop automatically when the rear doors are opened. Probably needs new relays. The trunk lid still works, and the top worked with only 1 relay bypass to get it to unlock. I have not tried the top since then due to the age of the material. Everything else worked at the time too, except the A/C compressor, which seems to be seized up. The top was torn in a wind storm since the pictures were taken, and has been taped up, no rain entered the interior. The framework for the top is in good condition. All weatherstripping needs replacing. The interior is basically in good shape. No holes in the seats, door panels or carpet, and all trim pieces are there. There is a small crack along the speaker grille in the dash pad, and the drivers side arm rest housing is cracked, so it hangs a bit off center. There is pitting in the dash panel chrome, and some of the other interior chrome. The clock still worked (20 years ago), as did the AM/FM Town & Country radio. All the glass is in good shape too, no cracks. All dash, warning, interior and exterior lights work. All exterior chrome trim pieces and emblems are there. The bumpers and door handles could use rechroming, but are in good shape otherwise. The right side windshield chrome trim is damaged, and a replacement trim piece is included. The front fender quarter panel peak crown trim pieces have screws holding them on in front. I am also including 2 replacement crown trim pieces. The front grille and headlight bezels are undamaged, as are the rear tail lights. A new exhaust system (pipes and mufflers) was put on in 1990, as were new Michelin radial tires, brake pads, shoes and wheel cylinders, shocks and tie rods. The carburator was also replaced then, belts and hoses, and the water pump was too. There is lots of tread left on the tires, but they are almost 24 years old, so would recommend only using the tires to transport the car. |

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles
Tue, Apr 30 2019Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.
2017 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled because the fuel tank could fall off
Wed, Dec 21 2016Bad news from Dearborn. Ford just announced a pair of recalls, including a particularly worrying flaw in the new F-Series Super Duty. According to Ford's official announcement, there are roughly 8,000 of its big trucks on the roads with a missing reinforcement bracket – if it's not there, the fuel tank could separate from the frame. Yes, Ford is basically saying the fuel tank could fall out. We don't need to explain why this would be a very bad thing. Fortunately, no owners have experienced said bad things – Ford claims it's unaware of any fires, injuries, or accidents resulting from the flaws. The Kentucky Truck Plant built the affected pickups between August 10 and September 17. The bulk of the vehicles are in the US – 7,103, to be precise. Another 964 are cruising around the frozen Canadian tundra, while two more are in "federalized territories." The other recall is smaller, but reaches across a broad swath of the Blue Oval's family vehicles. Ford says there are 1,352 Taurus sedans, Flex crossovers, Explorer SUVs – including the Police Interceptor Utility variant – and Lincoln MKTs equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that could catch fire. In this case, the danger isn't a detached fuel tank, but an "improperly brazed turbocharger oil supply tube" that could leak and spill engine oil on the turbocharger. Again, Ford isn't aware of any fires, accidents, or injuries due to the flaw. Here's the breakdown of manufacturer dates and location: 2016 Ford Taurus vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Ford Flex vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 2017 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 15, 2016 to Nov. 12, 2016 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant on Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Lincoln MKT vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 As with the Super Duty recall, most of the affected cars, crossovers, and SUVs are in the US market. There are 126 units in Canada and six in the same "federalized territories" mentioned above. In the case of both recalls, dealers will inspect the affected parts and replace or add them as necessary.
