1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible No Reserve on 2040-cars

Gilbert, Arizona, United States

This is a NO RESERVE auction for my my 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible.  This has been in our family for about 30 years, my dad starting restoring it about 20 years ago, but never finished, so here’s your chance to restore it and get it back on the road.  This car originally came with the V12, but it was missing when we got it.  He put a Mustang II front end in it, disc brakes, Ford 9” rear end and a Ford 400 motor with AT.  The fenders were removed and the body was media blasted and painted with bare metal etching primer.  No bondo or bodywork has been done.  You can see in the pics that there are a few rusty places in the floor that need to be replaced, but otherwise the car is very solid and rust free.  All of the fenders, doors, and other sheet metal are rust free and very straight.

 

He’s been collecting spare parts for it over the years and has duplicate parts for just about every part of the car.  Spare fenders, dashes, gauges, switches, radios, grilles, bumpers, etc… There’s even a brand new spare radiator with a custom brass top that’s polished to a mirror finish.  The original radiator is also included with the dual inlets and dual outlets that were on all of the V12 cars.

 

The convertible top is complete with all of the bows and can be raised and lowered manually.  The hydraulic lift struts are still there, including the original aluminum interior panels.

 

The continental kit is all original and complete with spare tire brackets and tire cover panels that are in perfect original condition.

 

This car is super rare and is an excellent candidate for restoration because it’s very complete, rust free and in great condition.  As far as we can tell, it’s been here in Arizona it’s entire life, so it’s in really good shape.  When we bought it, it was stored in a garage and for the last 30 years we’ve had it stored in the garage as well.  There are enough accessory parts for 2 cars.  My dad recently passed away and I wouldn’t be able to restore this car the way it should be done, so I hope it goes to a good car family that can bring it back to life.

 

The car has a clear Arizona title in my name, it’s not a salvage title and there are no liens.

 

Because there are so many spare parts and they won’t all fit in the car, I will NOT ship internationally.  Transportation of this car will consist of a auto trailer as well as a truck bed just for all of the spare parts.  Please make arrangements with me before final bidding to arrange transportation.  The car rolls very easily and the tires will hold air for a few days.

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?

Sun, 02 Dec 2012

Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
