If you are looking for a gorgeous,rare and unique collector Lincoln convertible this is it with it's new Teal paint and new leather Aqua/White interior. This is 1 of only 9 built that had this combination of Teal paint exterior and Aqua interior which is very striking and beautiful. We've had so many people mention how much they love the color.This car is also loaded with options including the rare one year only option of power passenger headrest and reclining seat (see picture)...very cool! It also has the Town & Country AM/FM radio with the floor foot pedal for station seek. Another fun and cool feature that everyone loves which was not an original option is the period correct Sears CB Radio that actually works which is mounted in the front center (see picture). This is where the optional 8 Track mounts but was removed to accommodate the CB. I have the original 8 track with some tapes that go with the car(see picture). The detailed information on this car came from the Marti Report which I purchased. This is a report from actual Ford records that will come with the car (see picture) and goes into production detail. It also says it was sold on New Year's 1966.

 Below is a list of some of the options:

  • Automatic Temperature Control System
  • AM/FM Signal-Seeking Radio with Power Antenna 
  • Stereo-Sonic 8 Track Stereo System* (separate unit)
  • Tilt Steering Wheel                                                                                                                                                                      
  • Automatic Headlamp Dimmer
  • Limited Slip Differential                                                                                                                              
  • Automatic Speed Control                                                                                                                                         
  • Six-Way Power Seat        
  • Six-Way Power Seat with Passenger Recliner*                                                                                                                                                                                                                
  •   Speed-Actuated Power Door Locks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  • Power Vent Windows                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
  • Tinted Glass                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
  • Door Edge Guards

There is also chrome side molding that I was told was a rare dealer option.

Below is a list of some of the thousands of $ of work that has been done to make this a reliable driving and fun collectible. Almost all of this work within the last year.

  • Gas tank was pulled and professionally cleaned, stripped and coated to ensure no issues.
  • New sending unit
  • Brakes were redone including new hoses and master cylinder,wheel cylinders and shoes.
  • Replaced timing chain and gears. (If you buy one of these Lincolns this is one of the most important things to have done as the old nylon gears can break and cause engine failure.)
  • New front seal
  • New water pump
  • All new ignition parts...plugs, wires , points, etc.
  • New hoses and belts
  • Carburetor rebuilt
  • New safety neutral switch
  • New convertible top
  • New convertible top motor
  • New hydraulic lines
  • New convertible deck lid cylinders
  • Had all window switches repaired.
  • Automatic rear window drop down is now working on both sides ( this was very time consuming and expensive to fix which is why they don't work on most of these Lincoln convertibles.
  • Period correct wide whitewall tires.
  • New paint
  • New leather interior
  • Many other misc. parts

This beauty starts right up and runs great. Transmission works properly as do the brakes. The top goes through all of it's functions properly and both the inside top switch and outside rear top switch will operate the new top up and down. All of the windows work. I also had the rear window drop-down function fixed on both sides. This function actuates when either of the rear doors are opened and is important to the top, doors and windows working correctly. I have video of the rear windows properly dropping down as well as video of the top working which is on you tube but not allowed on ebay. Please let me know if you would like to see them. Mileage says around 40,000. but I cannot verify if accurate or not.

Another extremely important consideration in purchasing a 60s Lincoln convertible is whether or not it has any rust. Most I looked at did in fact have several areas of rust which is extremely expensive to fix. This however is a clean Florida car. Look at the pictures showing the entire bottom of the car...solid...solid...solid!

Again just about everything works on this car. There is a crack in the dash by the speaker which is true of most of these. The chrome is driver quality and the stainless trim in good condition. Most of the rubber is decent and have new trunk seal and bumper to body seal that go with the car. I would rate this car as a higher end driver but has additional added value with it's special uniqueness and the fact that it is loaded with almost every option available. This one is a real attention getter with people wanting to take pictures constantly.

The value of this car is estimated  around the  $30,000. range according to a Lincoln expert that looked at it for me. My reserve is very much lower than that as I need to sell at this time.

The 1967 was the last year for the convertible Lincoln and  the 67's of which only a little over 2,700 were built has led to these jumping in value over the last few years according to the Haggerty Report and others.. These have a lot more options than earlier models and the preferable glass rear window.  Also included is an original color sales brochure, original owners manual and shop manual (see picture) and the original build sheet that was behind the back seat (see picture).


*Please feel free to email with questions and to setup an inspection of the car. Inspections must take place before bidding not after. If you do not personally inspect the car or have someone inspect it on your behalf then you must agree to positive feedback. I say this because although I try to disclose everything to my knowledge concerning condition of the car my opinion may differ from yours on certain issues. If you do not perform due diligence on this or any other vehicle then it would be totally unfair for you to leave negative feedback and ruin my rating because you disagree with something you should have been aware of before your purchase by having it inspected to your satisfaction or not. If you are a serious bidder I will send you my phone number to answer any other questions you may have.  

TERMS:

I have the right to cancel any bids with fewer than 10 feedback's. If you do please contact me so I can do my best to determine if you are a serious bidder. Upon meeting the reserve, bidders must contact me by message or phone and demonstrate a serious intent to purchase. If I don't hear from you within a 12 hour period from your bid then I reserve the right to cancel your bid. Please do not bid at all unless you are a serious buyer with the wherewithal to complete the deal. All sales are final. The vehicle is sold as is, where is!

Car is advertised locally and I reserve the right to close auction down at any time. This car will not be released until all funds are cleared. Deposits are not refundable.

Overseas bidders are welcome....I will help the transport truck load your car.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Four minor accidents and no injuries are attributed to one of these conditions.

Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.  But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.  Best Subcompact Luxury SUV   |   Best Compact Luxury SUV   |   Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.     Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
