*no Reserve* 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Chesapeake, Virginia, United States
For sale is an all original, numbers matching 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This car is sold as is and the winning bidder assumes all responsibilities. This car was purchased by me on leave from my second tour back in 2005 and has been garage kept since then and to my knowledge, prior to and it's entire life. Due to a new baby in our life I have finally decided to part with this gift to myself for making it out of Iraq.
The car was restored prior to my purchase and has roughly ten thousand dollars invested into it, which, to my understanding, largely went to the operation of the convertible mechanism. All parts of that mechanism work perfectly, and I am happy to include upon request, a recent video of the top in complete operation so you can verify this before you make any bids. There are a few minor imperfections throughout on the paint and a tiny piece of the front right trim is missing up near the bumper, and that is visible in the picture of that angle. The car had a custom sound system that has since been professionally removed with no impact on the condition of the interior. The AC system needs to be recharged to blow cold air. These imperfections aside, this car, as clearly visible in the included pictures is immaculate and a real head turner. With a little bit of attention to detail it could be a trophy-winning, 100 point show car. Recent work on the car includes professionally installed, new or rebuilt parts in the top hydraulic mechanism, switches, and relays as well. The power options on the car all work to include the rear windows that go down slightly upon entering to allow clearance with the top. The doors all line up correctly to new clackers and the body is devoid of rust. Minor surface patina exists in a few small places underneath. The vehicle was recently inspected by Travis' Auto in Suffolk, VA and had a new heater core installed to help with the engine cooling. The tires have good tread and less than 10k miles on them. These cars are iconic, with their "suicide doors" and yacht-like feel. It is a joy to drive, always gets thumbs ups, and would stand a chance in almost any car show you brought it to. I am happy to work with the winning buyer to get this car to its finally destination. Please send me any questions or requests for more information and I will answer them as quickly and completely as possible. Good luck! |

We test Lincoln's 20-speaker Revel Ultima stereo with a rock star
Fri, Aug 26 2016If there's two things Detroiters know, it's music and cars. So when Lincoln approached us with big claims about their latest stereo system, the Revel Ultima System, we sought out a veteran of the Motor City music scene to test it out. First unveiled at the 2015 Detroit International Auto Show in the Lincoln MKX, Revel is bringing its bumping bass to the 2017 Lincoln MKZ. We had Dick Valentine, lead singer of Electric Six and favorite son of Detroit, try out the 20-speaker, 1200-watt system. If you want it on your MKZ, Revel Ultima is part of the $4,400 Luxury Package. Electric Six is perhaps most famous for its early hit, Gay Bar, and the music video filled with shirtless Abe Lincolns in the White House. Since their debut release, Fire, E6 has backed up a regular touring schedule with ten more studio albums, both a live album and live DVD, and an upcoming quasi-reality film titled Roulette Stars of Metro Detroit. We met up with Valentine on the set of the Roulette Stars to explore the depths of his sardonic wit that oozes through every E6 song. Lincoln says that Revel is the best in the biz. And we'll admit, the stats are impressive. But are 20 speakers and marketing terms like Quantum Logic Surround Technology, Clari-Fi Technology and Point Source Architecture enough to impress a Detroit legend? Valentine knows a little something about sound. As the lead singer and frontman of the Electric Six, he's spent over twenty years hearing his tunes played through speakers. While Valentine hasn't owned a car in a while, he does have opinions on jamming inside of them. We played songs from the band's latest album Bitch, Don't Let Me Die to see if Revel truly delivers on it's bold claims. Related Video: Celebrities Lincoln Ownership music audio sound system
BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
