1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars

Arlington, Texas, United States

This is a rare 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible with bucket seats.  The car runs and drives.  I just spent 2500 dollars on carb rebuild and new brakes and a couple of other items.  Please view all pictures and ask questions on anything and everything.  The cars needs much work but for a few grand more you could have a decent very cool driver.  The pictures make the car look better than it is to be honest.  The panels are pretty darn straight but it will need a full paint job if you wish to have a shiny vehicle.  There is a rust bubble on the right rear fender well.  The rest of the body is fairly clean minus a ding or two.  The bumpers have some rust as shown.  The convertible top does not work.  The motor turns and spins but does not engage the clamps above the windshield.  The top is in very nice shape minus the rear window trim area which is coming apart but should not leak.  The front power windows work including the quarter windows, the other windows do not. There are missing parts on the interior as shown in photos.  Windows don't line up exact just based on the rear windows not working.  The tail lights are not working or brake lights.  I am sure this is an easy fix but cannot access since the trunk will not go up based on previous top comment.  As mentioned it is a rare set up but this would be a better weekend cruiser than a full restoration vehicle as the cost would be astronomical.  Items to address would be top, windows, lights then you could tinker and adjust thereafter.  I have a box of little items such as the ashtray etc...There are alot of things that need tightening etc...so I hopefully think you get the picture.

As mentioned it runs and drives straight down the road and will make a cool driving, eye catching convertible with a little work but I am trying to give an accurate description so I won't get a "hey, I anticipated a really nice car and it is not".

Lots of questions. When I say full restoration I am speaking in terms of any classic. I have a beautiful 58 356a but to put to museum is astronomical. This car with paint, top etc would look fantastic as panels etc are very nice but  just want to inform. It is not the condition that some of these 20k convertibles are but with about 5-7 it would be. My reserve is much lower than that as to afford the new owner opportunity for growth. 


I am taking a bath on this as the individual I bought it off of told me all worked. I would rather not invest any more money in it  My reserve is half of what I paid and is worth it.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
