1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible, # 00095 off the Lincoln assembly Line. This was a rare find. In storage for over 12yrs.

This Lincoln was repainted many years ago White with Red Leather Interior and White Top. The paint had faded and had many

paint chips and scratches.

The owners son had mentioned that the 430 motor was rebuilt 14 years ago, But it has not been started in years.

The windows did not work,The Power top did not open every time and sometimes not at all.

I know I had a lot of work to do . I rebuilt the carburetor,Changed the spark plugs and ran a can of gas from the fuel pump

to the carburetor,With a new battery and my finger crossed I cranked the motor over and in a minute or so it started.

There was a little smoke and some lifter noise but ofter a few minutes it purred like a kitten. What a relief.

If You are going to restore your 60s Lincoln Continental Sedan or Convertible,You better get ready for price shock.

Better yet take out that second on your home.You will need it..

As John Cashman had told me when I started to purchase parts and relays from him," Welcome to the Land of Lincolns".

These are 50 plus year old cars and parts are hard to find and are exspensive. Most Lincoln Continental parts are Used,Rebuilt or Reproduced.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Remember there were around 40,000 1960s Lincoln Continental Sedans made each year and around 2800 1960s Lincoln Continental Convertibles. Less than 3000 Convertibles a year for the early 60s, How many 1962 Lincoln Convertibles do you think exist today???

As you can see on Ebay,Barrett Jackson and other auctions around the country 1960s Lincoln Continentals and Convertibles are

High Priced Cars,Especialy when they have been Restored or are all Original..Stock.

I removed all Chrome and bright metal,Bumpers, windshield,Removed all paint down to metal, There were a few rust spot on the lower-quarter panel and two doors. I repaired both doors with new metal patches, The lower quarter panels I made new sections and welded them in. On all welding repairs undercoating was applied to the insides to prevent any further rust.

Before any bodywork was started I sprayed the complete car with self etching epoxy primer.Next was the body work, Then Primer,then

block sand,Primer,Block sand get ready for Paint, 4 coats of black paint, let sit 2 days color sand and Spray 4 more coats of Black paint,

Let paint sit 2 days color sand and spat the last 4 coats of Black paint. After a few days the paint was blocked with 800,1000,1200,1500 and

2500 wet sanding. Then cut and buff to a diamond shine. Now the body is Lazer Straight ready for the Chrome and bright metal.

I know you thinking that that is exactly what you would do.It is the only way, But it takes months to do it and not a few weeks.

And body work aint cheap. Remember you get what you pay for. Custom Body and Paint jobs on Big Cars are around $15-$20,000.

All the Polished Stainless and Re-Chrome was put back on the Lincoln, The Interior was removed and Replaced with Leather,,Dash was removed for Paint and new Leather.

While the dash was removed all wiring was checked for shorts or cuts, Vacuum lines were replaced if cracked or split.

I removed the worn and missing wood dash and replaced it with My Own Wood Dash Kits. $500.00+ S+H.

New Black Carpet and Padding was installed.Door panels were recovered,

The engine was treated with New Powder Coating, The Power Steering Pump was rebuilt, I replaced the Timing Chain and Gears while i was rebuilding the Power Steering Pump,I replaced the Fuel Pump rod And Rebuilt the Fuel Pump.

I replaced all Intake Gskts,Valve Cover Gskts and Freez Plugs with Brass Plugs.

I installed a New Radiator and replaced the thermostats.

New Brakes and a Power Brake Booster was installed, All the power window switches were rebuilt, Window motors were checked,Window tracks were cleaned

and Lubricated,Roller Guides were cleaned,Greased or Replaced.

22" Lexani Wheels and New 22" tires for that look.

Front Springs were cut 1", Rear End has 3" lowering blocks. There was NO cutting done to the rear frame,No Air Bags.

Now for the Convertible top, It Works, BUT There is no Vinyl top installed yet. WHY, Because I refuse to install The Absolute Garbage Roof Rail Seals that are being

sold to us. They are BADDDD..... I refuse to install them Until Someone out there (Like Me) Steele Rubber or Soft Seal Makes a set of Roof Rail Seals

worth putting on your Classic Lincoln Continental Convertible.

This is a NON A/C Car. 430 Engine with a 2 Barrel carb.

So my Loss is Your Gain. If you are A SERIOUS Buyer and not a Bull Sh-ter and have any questions please call.

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]

Thu, Dec 11 2014

MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

Matthew McConaughey Lincoln pitches drive on with new MKZ ads

Mon, Dec 29 2014

You didn't think a few spoofs were going to break up Lincoln and pitch-man Matthew McConaughey, did you? With more than three million extra free views of Lincoln products on YouTube because of the send-ups – and no one is making fun of the car, remember Â– the brand rightly concludes, "We couldn't ask for better." That's why the pair are back, this time working on behalf of the MKZ and MKZ Hybrid. The two commercials "Balance" and "Diner" are new, but the formula is the same - cinematic, contemplative, channeling more than a bit of True Detective. They'll hit broadcast channels during college bowl games on New Year's Day. You can watch "Balance" above and "Diner" below, and the press release further down has more details.

Matthew McConaughey Gets Behind Wheel of 2015 Lincoln MKZ in New Ads Airing Jan. 1 - The Lincoln Motor Company teams up again with Academy AwardÂ™ winner Matthew McConaughey to create Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid ad campaign that will begin airing during high-profile New Year's Day college football bowl games - Two new TV and online ads will promote Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid midsize sedans, which have given a new direction to the brand with their introduction two years ago - Lincoln's previous collaboration with McConaughey, the "Live in Your Moment" campaign, fueled early sales success of 2015 Lincoln MKC small premium utility DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 29, 2014 Â– In the bright spotlight of New Year's Day college football bowl games, The Lincoln Motor Company will launch its newest ad campaign promoting the 2015 Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and featuring Matthew McConaughey. Filmed in a style and tone consistent with last summer's much-talked-about "Live in Your Moment" ads for the first-ever Lincoln MKC, the new campaign brings the attention back to the premium midsize sedan that has been Lincoln's best-selling vehicle since arriving in showrooms two years ago. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," said Andrew Frick, Group Marketing Manager Lincoln. "Matthew's natural storytelling ability perfectly complements the Lincoln story as we continue to raise awareness and drive conversation in creative and unexpected ways.

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.
