Original miles, family owned 1964 Lincoln Continental purchased new by my parents and still in the family as of now. Other than exterior paint (re-painted about 20 years ago), rear interior carpet and trunk hinges, I believe this Lincoln to be all original and has been garaged its entire life. In my Dad's later years the car was driven a few miles here and there, other than that he kept it covered and started/running in the garage. The only negative thing I'm aware of is that in 2006 there was a small engine fire due to a leaking fuel pump and bad spark plug wire (both discovered my me). It would appear the fan blew gas down the driver side of the engine (which sits at a slant) where it found this wire (closest to the firewall) and ignited. When it burned it apparently affected mostly that and another spark plug wire, another hose, the accelerator spring and various vacuum hoses. From what I understand the car was not properly insured so a claim was never filed for repair and the car sat for a while before I was ever told about what happened. Through all that time the battery still held a charge, so when I finally got the chance I did all I knew to do (basic mechanics) with my brother and we got the car running again by repairing the fuel pump, all spark plug wires, plugs, etc.

Things that have been ultimately affected are the climate controls, accelerator spring/linkage and transmission shifting, which I'm told is likely the vacuum advance(?) but I'm not certain. I can tell you the car starts, runs very well and drives straight down the road in the little bit it's been driven. All gears engage and there is no slipping, although there is a lag in accelerating as the accelerator pedal needs to be depressed for about an inch before it will react. As you're driving, if the accelerator is released @ approx. 50 mph (or climbing), it will immediately down shift into the lower gear until you're just over that speed, then it stays in the higher gear. When coming to a stop it seems to down shift as it should. I believe the transmission is fine but does need a new seal on the pan as it leaks and I'm sure it's quite old. Also, a new oil pan is needed as the plug is stripped and a replacement will come with the car. Most of the exhaust appears near new as it was replaced prior to the fire, tires appear good (+ 80%), brakes seem fine.

From what I can tell all lights/electrical works, the radio just works ok & the clock does not work. The AC did not work prior to the fire, I assume it's in need of charge but is all connected as it should be. The front seat motors work but seems the forward/backward movement is off track. All windows seem to work except driver rear, door locks lock better than they unlock and I think the hose that releases the parking brake is loose/disconnected as I can hear air in that area...the manual release works fine. The seats were covered in the 70's so there is average wear/tear to all seats, headliner, dash, doors, etc. are near perfect.

All in all I would say in most need is the vacuum work. As for restoring, I'm sure the engine could use a good cleaning as well as the whole car could use a good detail. Other than that, I would say this is a restoral dream since it's already in such original question and needs little to get there.

Two sets of original keys, original manual, sales paperwork, original CA black & gold plates and custom car cover will come with car. I will post &/or send more pics as requested as well as any updates. I am able to assist in shipping scheduling.

Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
