This gorgeous automobile turns heads and stops traffic wherever it goes.  Only 2200 of these were made. Anyone who loves old American steel knows this car's history as the first choice of heads of state and the rich and famous.  They also know that Lincoln spared no effort in engineering and designing the Continental.  Operate the convertible top and literally everyone within sight of it will stop to watch a true engineering marvel in action.  



This car has been well-loved and carefully kept and maintained.  It is mostly stock and in very good condition, rust-free, with the original motor and transmission.  This car was originally delivered to the first of only three owners in the arid Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  I am the third owner, and I've kept it in a climate controlled garage.  Some original documentation is available, along with repair manuals and miscellaneous parts that I've collected over the years.  Also available is what's left of a '67 Lincoln Continental sedan parts car. A car of this year and model (in showroom condition) sold for $72,000.00 On Mecham Auctions Last October (Lot #681).


 


Some specs on this model:  this car has a 462 cubic inch big-block eight-cylinder engine that produces 340 hp at 4,600 rpm, and 485 ft-lb of torque at 2,800 rpm.  To say that this car can fly is an understatement.  Besides the convertible top and suicide doors, I think its coolest feature is the automatic headlight dimmers.

  • Many hours have been invested in cleaning and polishing this largely intact specimen.

  • Timing chain and gear set replaced

  • Front seal replaced


 


What this car needs:


  • The odometer and speedometer quit working in the past year.  Car has around 82k original miles but must be considered true miles unknown.  
  • Master lockout/bypass window switch needs to be replaced (missing since I bought the car).
  • Windows do not automatically drop when operating the top like they should.  Haven't had time to investigate but think just cleaning the knife switches might do the trick.  Or you can just lower the windows a little before operating the top.
  • Minor interior items (back of passenger seat clips, typical crack in dash pad next to speaker).
  • dent on passenger side front fender
  • Car is not original color (original paint code shows it was Aegean Bronze) but shows just fine as a driver.
  • A/C does not work (not converted from original R-12 yet).  Never bothered to fix because it's a convertible.
  • Cruise control does not work (needs new bellows and vacuum lines).


And most of all, what this car needs is a good home where it will be well tended.  If you have questions, message me with a phone number and times when I can reach you.

Ford's China sales keep falling, down 30% in third quarter

Fri, Oct 11 2019

BEIJING — Ford's July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 30%, as the U.S. automaker continued to lose ground in a prolonged sales decline in its second biggest market. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker delivered 131,060 vehicles in China in the third quarter, Ford said in a statement. Ford's sales in China fell 35.8% in the first quarter and by 21.7% in the second quarter. In the third quarter, sales of the automaker's mass-market Ford brand fell 37.7%, while its luxury division Lincoln saw sales drop by 24.1%. It delivered around 421,000 vehicles in the first nine months of the year, according to Reuters calculations. Ford has been struggling to revive sales in China after its business began slumping in late 2017. Sales sank 37 percent in 2018, after a 6 percent decline in 2017. The automaker plans to launch more than 30 new models in China over the next three years, of which more than a third will be electric vehicles. It also said it would localize management teams by hiring more Chinese staff and aimed to improve relationships with joint venture partners. Ford has launched a series of new models in the third quarter in China, including Focus, Edge, and the electric Territory. In China, Ford makes cars through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors. It has said it would partner with Zotye Automobile Co to sell lower-priced cars, but there seems to have been little progress. In a series of moves, Ford named a new president for its main local venture, Changan Ford, in August and said it would enhance its partnership with Changan through research, production and marketing cooperation in September. Ford is also planning to revamp some of its existing manufacturing facilities with Changan to localize production of its premium brand Lincoln. Changan Ford's sales down by around 33.5% in the third quarter, according to Reuters calculations based on Changan's filings. Ford rival General Motors' July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 17.5%, to 689,531 vehicles. As GM and Ford China sales extend declines, U.S. car companies' market share of total China passenger vehicle sales fell to 9.5% in the first eight months of this year, from 10.7% in the year-ago period, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Over the same period, German carmakers' share has risen to 23.8% from 21.6%, and Japanese automakers' share rose to 21.7% from 18.3%.

Aye Captain! Hennessey's 2018 Lincoln Navigator has 600 HP

Tue, Mar 20 2018

Texas tuner John Hennessey wants to steer the 2018 Lincoln Navigator into some serious performance SUV waters, presently dominated by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Range Rover SVR. Upping the power of Lincoln's range-topping sport-utility, from 450 horsepower to an even 600 hp, is enough to hustle the Navigator from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds and run the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 107 mph. In terms of the 0-60 sprint, this performance upgrade nets you about 0.7 seconds versus the stock model. Good to know, in case you're hot to run a Navigator at your local drag-strip. "The 2018 Navigator is a world-class luxury SUV and we wanted to take its already impressive power and performance to the next level," said president and company founder, John Hennessey. So, what exactly has been done under the hood? The key to the performance improvements is better breathing, courtesy of a HPE600 twin-turbo engine upgrade. Using the Navigator's twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 as its base, Hennessey adds a new engine management computer, a stainless steel exhaust system, high-flow air induction, and a large front-mounted intercooler with blow-off valve. Hennessey's six-wheel VelociRaptor, which uses the same base engine, produces 602 hp and 622 lb-ft of torque. Optional extras include 22-inch forged alloy wheels, a lowering kit, and Brembo brakes at the front and rear. Those brakes might not be a bad idea, especially considering this 600-hp motor is attached to approximately three tons of SUV that will, eventually, need to be stopped. This performance package rings in at $19,950 (including installation) and comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty from Hennessey. Only 200 examples will be built for the 2018 model year. While not quite as crazy as the VelociRaptor, this Lincoln is also only about one-third the price of that monster truck. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford recalls 200,000 vehicles for brake lights that won't turn off

Wed, Jan 19 2022

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a new recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles because their brake lights may not turn off. Drivers of affected vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may also be able to shift the vehicles out of Park even when their foot is off the brake. That increases the risk of a rollaway and could cause a crash. According to documentation posted on NHTSA's recall hub, a separated brake pedal bumper is to blame for the issue. The recall applies to "certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii." The safety regulator adds that "exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to disintegrate and separate from the brake pedal." Owners of affected vehicles should expect notification of the recall in early March. They will be directed to the dealership of their choice to have their brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers replaced free of charge. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
