Note: I am relisting this as previous winning bidder never even responded. Please do not waste my time or serious bidders time. If your rating is less than 10 your bid will be cancelled unless you email me with your contact information to ensure no scammers or deadbeats! Great opportunity to own a rare 1963 Lincoln Continental Suicide Door with Factory A/C at a reasonable price! Only 3,138 of these beauties were built and no telling how many are left! This 1963 Lincoln Convertible has had some restoration done but will need a lot of work to finish. The previous owner told me he started the restoration a few years ago and had the car painted but has been outside for 2 or 3 years which effected the paint on the trunk lid and hood and should be redone. Looks like the other panels might be ok with some buffing. He had the engine completely rebuilt by a professional shop in Orlando. I called them and they verified that they completely rebuilt it and in fact remembered that they had a hard time locating some of the parts. I asked for a receipt but they needed a date, which the previous owner did not remember, before they would dig through their files. I have their name and number.I have not started the engine or even attempted to turn it over since it has been sitting outside for so long. I have removed the plugs and filled each cylinder with marvel mystery oil and drained and replaced the engine oil as well. It will be up to the new owner to complete the process. It might be fine but I honestly don't know. Fortunately the interior was at the upholstery shop and not left outside. He had the interior redone as pictured which includes the front and back seats, front door panels and new carpet but never finished the rear door panels which I have with the car. We placed all the new interior pieces in the car for the pictures to show what it looks like installed which is beautiful. There is one small spot on the front seat that needs repair. The dash is very nice with no cracks. The floors are solid (see the pictures) although there was the start of rust on the front drivers floor which we coated with POR 15 which stops any current rust or in the future. I did find some areas of rust underneath the worse being at the left rear underneath the rear bumper area (this definitely needs to be addressed). There is some bubbling around the drivers side rear of the trunk lid that should be addressed. I saw no evidence of any accidents but am no expert. It seems like most of the trim is there but I do not have the time to go through the boxes of parts to see what if any parts are missing. Also I have no idea nor did the previous owner what condition the top mechanisms are in. I would just assume they will need work. The Data Plate reads Body - 74A...Color G...Trim 85...Date 12C...DSQ 16 which indicates it was originally Silver Mink Metallic with a red leather interior. The rare 1963 convertible with Air Conditioning is considered by many experts as the most desirable of any of the 61' to 67's convertibles. This is an opportunity to get into one at a reasonable price. *Please feel free toemail with questions and to setup an inspection of the car. Inspections musttake place before bidding not after. If you do not personally inspect the caror have someone inspect it on your behalf then you must agree to positive feedback.I say this because although I try to disclose everything to my knowledgeconcerning condition of the car my opinion may differ from yours oncertain issues.

Lincoln plans electrified versions of all models by 2022, say sources
Fri, Sep 8 2017DETROIT - Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to offer hybrid gasoline-electric versions of all its U.S. models by 2022, according to three sources familiar with the plans. Details could be announced as early as Oct. 3, when Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett plans to update investors on the automaker's strategy. Company officials are also considering whether to introduce one or more all-electric Lincoln models, one source said. The proposed electrification scheme could be critical to Lincoln's future in China, which will require automakers to make electric vehicles an increasing percentage of their total sales. The Lincoln hybrids are part of a broader Ford program to offer at least 18 new electric and hybrid models over the next five years, the sources said. Lincoln aims to follow a path blazed this year by several European premium brands, including Daimler AG, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's Volvo Cars, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover, all of which have announced plans to offer more hybrid and all-electric vehicles. Global luxury brands are responding to competitive pressure from Elon Musk's Tesla Inc, and proposals by the Chinese government to mandate significantly higher levels of electric vehicle sales in the world's largest auto market. The plan to offer a portfolio of Lincoln hybrid models was crafted before Hackett took over in May, the sources said. Ford said in January 2016 it would spend $4.5 billion to electrify a portion of its U.S. fleet, including hybrid versions of the Mustang and the F-150, and at least 11 other models. The extent of its electrification effort, including details on specific new and redesigned models, has not previously been disclosed. A Ford spokesman said the company would not comment on future products. As the Lincoln brand rolls out redesigned versions of its existing models and introduces at least one new model, it is planning to introduce plug-in hybrid versions of those vehicles, beginning with the redesigned MKC crossover and the new Aviator crossover in 2019, the sources said. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator utility vehicle, which goes on sale this autumn, is expected to add a conventional hybrid version in 2019. Subsequent redesigned Lincoln models, including the MKZ sedan in 2020 and the Continental sedan and MKX crossover in 2022, are expected to include plug-in hybrid variants, the sources said.
Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
