1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Augusta, Maine, United States
|
This is a restored car from a Lincoln enthusiast who lived in Texas. I bought the car back in December 2010 and shipped to California. In May of 2013 had to move to Maine for family reasons, so the car was shipped again to Maine. I had high hopes of using the car a lot during the summer, but the summer was very short and very wet. And of corse the winters in Maine are extremely long about seven months, i still started the car once a week and let run for 10-15 minutes, that is why i'am selling the car. The car needs to be driven and enjoyed. About the car, the car has a blue exterior, the interior is also blue and the top is white. The tires are white wall Coker Classics. The paint on the car really shines like glass, and the paint chip are hard to see. The door jambs and door sills are original paint. At first i thought that was just being lazy by restorer. So i talked to him and he said he wanted to show how good the car is with no rust on bottom of doors and sills. If you know these cars this is a common spots for rust, that be said this car seems to be rust free, Just don't hold me to it there might be a spot some where on the car, the car is 50+ years old. All of the chrome and stainless is in excellent shape. The bumpers where re chromed and shine almost like a mirror. The engine and transmission where rebuilt when restored, and runs perfect with lots of power, transmission shifts flawless. The top goes up and down like it should, looks like hoses were replaced, and maybe some of the hydraulics rams and pump were replaced to, just not sure all look newer or very clean. The interior seats are a blue vinyl, and so are the armrests no rips or scuffs, looks newer not original. Carpet is correct loop pile also looks newer not original. All the glass is in great shape no cracks or fogging. The top is also newer with no rips or scuffs, the plastic window for top is clear but has some small scuffs due to putting the top down, it scrapes on metal frame. I use a piece of foam tubing to protect from more damage when top is in trunk. The trunk lining looks all newer and redone. The dash has no cracks and looks original, but not sure. All the gauges are working and look great. I also have a set of original front seat belts i found on Ebay when i was looking for new antenna found these instead. Like i said before antenna can be fixed. I described the car to the best of my knowledge, I'am not a mechanic or mechanically inclined. If you are most things can be fixed easily or installed like seat belts. I do recommend that you take a look at the car if you can. If you don't live in area a flight is not that bad even from Los Angeles, especially if your going to spend this kind of money on a classic car. If you have any questions or need more pictures just email me, if you want to talk leave phone number.
I also would like to say that my reserve is $10,000.00 or more "LESS" than some current and previous listing in recent months, of same year or similar years consisting of 1961-1967. |

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It 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.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
