Up for sale is my dream car that has had a lot of time, money and love put into it… I’ve decided to pursue an Executive MBA$, so I need to liquidate asap… I’ve spent a fortune on it so far and I realize I’ll only recoup a fraction of the effort… I'm hoping for a great owner that will enjoy the car.

The continental has only 2 documented owners. I even have the original line ticket, plus other documentation and brochures!!!  It was a barn find that was saved and preserved (stored on jack stands and covered in a dry shop) until the restoration began.  This is now a running, driving, stopping, great looking driver\project that needs the details completed to be a daily driver.

The good to great!

·        A very high\expensive quality paint and body. The body is so straight with no waves, that’s hard to do, since its soooo long 221”….obviously no rust. One negative area, the diameter of a penny where the clear coat flacked off, on the hood.

·        Rebuilt engine 462 – under 500 miles on it. I start it up and drive around the block once a week or so.

·        Rebuilt transmission

·        New master cylinder and booster, and all new brake components

·        Professionally polished trim – one ding above passenger window

·        Re-chrome bumpers

·        New light lenses

·        New wheels

·        New tires

·        New glass

·        New leather seats - front and back, 

 ·        New carpet

·        New leather headliner

·        New leather front dash, rear was not done yet

What a start, all the aesthetics are complete… Adding the receipts plus a conservative value of the base vehicle that’s nearly 25K$...

 

The future needs of the car-

The vehicle is currently at a classic car dealer getting the electrical sorted out.  I’m not sure how much they will complete prior to the auction ending.  The car runs, drives and stops very well.  But assume the lights, seat and power windows are not all functioning.  Also, the AC is not holding Freon-but blows; they were tracking down the leak.  The heater core and cruise control bladder need replacing.

 

If I had the luxury, I would allow the classic car dealer tocomplete the repairs and ask a premium for car.  But, unfortunately i need to sell quickly , so I'll have to hope a buyer has the vision I did for the car. 

Oh, since the car is at the shop, I'm not able to take additional photos of the interior or engine at this current time. But it is very clean!

Best of luck,   CW

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.

Lincoln considering giving cars real names again

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Enthusiastic reaction to the Continental concept might be the death knell for Lincoln's alphabet soup of monikers. "Without divulging the future, we're very excited about the Continental name and the attention it's gotten," Ford President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs said to Automotive News. Hinrichs admitted that the current MK names could confuse those not familiar with the models. Hinrichs suggested that one way Lincoln might differentiate itself was to "leverage its heritage." While this is certainly nothing explicit, the talk could be an indication of an upcoming overhaul for the brand's naming scheme. The Continental is set to hit the market next year as a replacement for the MKS as the company makes a major push into China. Lincoln bosses reportedly gave the designers the model name as inspiration for what to create. The brand's health has slowly been improving since former Ford CEO Alan Mulally was ready to completely kill the brand. Last year, a new boss was appointed to the helm, and there were reports of a modular platform under development. Let us know in Comments what Lincoln names you want to see revived. The Town Car is likely the best-known model from the brand after the Continental, and Zephyr has fairly recent history as the brief moniker for the MKZ. Related Video:

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
