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. |

Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises
Fri, Dec 29 2017It's that time of year again. The calendar is about to reach its end, Star Trek Cats 2018 is about to take its place, and I'm reflecting about all the cars that graced my driveway this year or summoned me to exotic places. You know, like Stuttgart or Phoenix. In 2017, I drove at least 57, and as I perused the list of them, I started to notice a common refrain: "This car surprised me." Most were pleasant surprises, but there were a few head scratchers and facepalms for good measure. In both cases, it was generally the result of car companies seemingly trying to break out of an existing mold. Nowhere was that more apparent than the pair of Lexuses slathered in Infrared paint: The LS 500 that left me this week and the LC 500 that was my favorite car of 2017. Though Lexus has been trying to shake its crusty, gold-packaged reputation for some time now, its efforts always seemed like an old man choosing Hollister to redo his wardrobe after realizing it hasn't been updated since 1987. I fell in love with the LC, genuinely floored by its near-perfect take on the GT. It's characterful in sound, appearance and tactility. It was at home in the city, in the mountain and on the open road. It was both comfortable and thrilling, and after driving the mechanically related LS 500, I can report that the LC's talents aren't an outlier. The LS 500's turbo V6 may make different noises than the LC's naturally aspirated V8, but it nevertheless invigorates the cabin when the car is placed in Sport+ mode. The steering is truly communicative, body motions are kept in miraculous check, and I absolutely forgot I was in an enormous luxury limo ... and a Lexus one at that. It was everything that the BMW 530e was not. I drove that on the exact same roads and was utterly bored the entire time. Generally doughy, lifeless steering, more distant than Planet 9. And no, the plug-in hybrid powertrain had nothing to do with that. At least it shouldn't. The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid I also drove this year proves that, as do the Hyundai Ioniqs, which are surprisingly adept and fun little cars regardless of what powers their wheels (Hyundai + hybrid = fun really blew me away). I would drive that Lexus LS F Sport over the BMW 5 Series any day of the week, which seems like a shocking thing to say in relation to either car. While Lexus is seemingly breaking out of its old crusty mold, BMW seems to be climbing into one.

2017 Lincoln Model Year Preview and Updates
Wed, Mar 1 2017For those wondering if there's more to Lincoln than a reflective Matthew McConaughey, the debut of Lincoln's all-new Continental - pictured above - should emphatically answer the question. But aside from a refresh here and there, the Continental is effectively 'it' for the 2017 model year. LINCOLN CONTINENTAL: Although the new Continental may not represent the design stretch Lincoln enthusiasts might have hoped, it's a significant step when compared to the Fusion-based MKZ or displaced MKS. With available all-wheel drive and up to 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, the Continental is described by Lincoln as targeting 'culturally progressive clients who define luxury on their own terms.' In short, this isn't a me-too interpretation of German or Asian luxury; it's the Lincoln Motor Company's interpretation of American luxury, on sale in the spring of '17. MKZ: A freshened design with all-new, Continental-esque front fascia offers an upgraded interior, new technology and available Revel Audio. MKC: It is a year of minor tweaks for Lincoln's compact crossover. A power liftgate is now standard, while Auto Start-Stop is available on MKCs equipped with the 2.0-liter and all-wheel drive, standard on 2.0-liter front-wheel drive. And the MKC receives Sync 3 plus Apple CarPlay and Android Audio. MKT: Aside from color revisions, Lincoln's livery car/crossover is unchanged. MKX: Lincoln's midsize, Edge-based crossover receives little more than color changes for 2017. NAVIGATOR: Lincoln's biggest SUV navigates the model year with few changes except for color. However, with the announcement of an all-new Ford Expedition – on which the Navigator is based – in showrooms this fall, an all-new Navigator can't be far behind it. Lincoln Car Buying whats new 2017
