1964 Lincoln Continental Hardtop 67k Original Miles Suicide Doors on 2040-cars
Windsor, New York, United States

1964 Lincoln Continental hardtop.
The vehicle has ~68,000 original miles on it. That is true original mileage, and the odometer has not rolled over 100k. I purchased the car about 3 years ago. I acquired it from a man who got it at an estate sale in Arizona. Prior to that, it was a one owner vehicle. I've put less than 100 miles on it since purchasing. To my knowledge, it was driven from '64-'72; where it was then placed in a climate controlled garage after the owner passed away until it was sold. The car's condition reflects it. Since purchasing it, I've spent over $5k in repairs; new carb, new fuel pump, and a few other things I can list. As is, the car has a leak in the power steering pump which needs to be fixed. This just happened recently. There is also a shift linkage issue (which is fairly common as I understand with this model) which causes the shifter to wiggle a little bit when putting it into park/neutral. It's not a major issue, but want to disclose it. The 2 rear windows do not go down. Either they need the motors replaced which can be purchased for about $100, or they may just be stuck due to built up grease on them; the door panels would need to be removed to further diagnose which I have not done yet. Also at some point the muffler on the car was modified to a single pipe; unlike the common dual muffler common on these cars. The AC blows, but not very cold so if you want AC it would need a new compressor. The car still has it's original paint and has not been resprayed. The paint is not perfect, but still relatively in tact. I have a pint of matching factory paint I'll include. Cosmetically, there is a ding on the driver's side front fender which you can see in the picture and another small dent on the rear passenger door. There are some rust spots which have started to show along some seams on the exterior, but undercarriage is in decent condition. All of the chrome is overall in great condition however (which is one of the most costly parts in restoring these). There is little to no oxidation on any of the chrome trim pieces inside or outside. There is a ~2cm ding on the chrome trim piece that goes above the windshield. I purchased a new piece I did not install yet and will include with the sale as well. The interior is is pretty good condition as well. The leather is worn where your butt and back go on all seats, but the rears of the seats, tops, center and other parts are in excellent condition and look almost new. The perforated leather roof is in perfect condition and carpet is in decent condition as well. The seats would not need to be fully re-upholstered and just need the patches where it's worn replaced. I am open to having that done prior to selling it which I can discuss further with interested buyers. I have original 1964 New York (World's Fair) plate I will include which can be used on the vehicle if registered as a historic car in NY. I also have the 1964 NYS inspection sticker for the windshield I'll include. There are no owners manuals and one set of keys (for doors/trunk and ignition). This is not a show car, but not a complete junker/restoration project either. Much better condition than most of the Knowing the types of buyers this will attract I've tried to disclose as much as possible but will be happy to address any further questions. For someone looking for one of these, this is an excellent car that can be brought back up to excellent condition with a little work. I simply do not have the time for it anymore which is why I am selling. You'll be hard to find a car like this in original condition for this price. With what I paid and the work I've put in, I'm taking a loss financially- I hope the next owner will enjoy it as much as I have. Car is located in Upstate, NY. If you are purchasing out of state, you are responsible for making arrangements to pick up and transport at your expense. I am open to selling it internationally, but you would also be responsible for handling all logistics and related expenses. Buyer must pay full price in cash, wire or certified bank check within 72 hours of auction close. Since I am new to eBay I'll be glad to address any questions regarding purchasing. If you have 0 or negative feedback, please contact me prior to placing a bid. Since it is a '64 there is no VIN or 'title'. Transaction will be completed and ownership signed over like any classic car. I have only posted one picture for now, but will be uploading more over the weekend. If there is anything specific you would like to see a picture of, please message me. I am more than happy to show the car in person at my residence, but please don't waste my time; needless to say serious buyers only. |

Lincoln revival bypasses rear-wheel drive for now
Wed, Nov 25 2015Ford execs had the axe ready for Lincoln just a few years ago, but the luxury marque is on a hot streak these days. Annual sales are up 7.5 percent through October, and the recently unveiled, refreshed 2017 MKZ previews the company's improved styling. In a great piece about the brand's growth strategy, Automotive News finds the division's bosses want to focus on the core vehicles before taking a big step and building a rear-wheel drive niche model. "Luxury coupes and sports cars are not the first place we need to go," Global Lincoln Director Matt VanDyke said in the story. The division's bosses want to use the updated MKZ as an opportunity to distance Lincoln's identity from Ford, and the powertrain will carry the 3.0T badge rather than Ford's EcoBoost name as part of that approach. The model also injects excitement into the range thanks to an all-wheel drive version with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and an optional Driver's Package with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Lincoln will launch at least three new models by 2020, too. One of those will be the production Continental that will reportedly debut at the Detroit Auto Show. The company will also allegedly revive the Aviator to fit below the Navigator. The third vehicle remains a mystery but likely isn't a compact. Automotive News' story further examines the previously languishing brand's work to climb up the luxury ranks in the US. It's well worth a read. Related Video:
Ford recalls Explorer, Flex, Taurus for parking brakes
Wed, Jul 22 2015Ford announced a recall of nearly 8,000 vehicles spread across a broad range of models for a faulty parking brake, which might not engage fully. The automaker has not received any reports of accidents or injuries resulting from the issue. The recall affects certain examples of the 2015-16 Ford Explorer, the 2015 Taurus, and the 2015 Flex. The 2015 Lincoln MKS and MKT are also included in the campaign. The vehicles in question were assembled at the company's Chicago and Oakville (Ontario) plants from May 4 to May 23. All told, 7,165 of the affected vehicles are estimated to be in the United States, with another 799 in Canada, and a solitary example in Mexico. In order to address the issue, owners are asked to bring the affected vehicles their local dealership, where technicians will inspect the vehicle and where necessary, replace the parking brake control assembly.

Why the 2015 Lincoln MKC is 'holding some powder'
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Earlier this month in our first drive of the 2015 MKC, we told you that Lincoln finally had a new vehicle in its arsenal worth crowing about. So with the compact premium crossover now finding its way into dealers, why aren't you seeing its likeness plastered on billboards and barraging you on television? It's because Lincoln is "holding some powder."
Those are the words of Lincoln's global director, Matt VanDyke, who tells Autoblog that the company is holstering some of its marketing guns because it's keen to avoid repeating the ill-timed efforts that blighted its last rollout, the MKZ. That vehicle's launch early last year was beset by various delays related to manufacturing and quality. The cadence issue was so dire that by the time the model reached showrooms in volume, Lincoln had already blown most of its budget on things like Super Bowl ads that ran weeks or even months before customers could check one out in person. It was a particularly trying series of events for parent Ford because the MKZ and its oversized marketing spend were charged with relaunching the Lincoln brand to the public.
Keen to avoid repeating the same timing issue and mindful of consumers' habits at this time of year, Lincoln is taking a different strategy with the MKC. According to VanDyke, "What we don't want to do is try and fight the summertime - people using television being down, and other mass media when school's out. New television shows aren't on." Of course, that doesn't mean Lincoln is sitting idle. VanDyke says, "By no means are we quiet during the next 90 days. This year, we're going to really spend the next 60 to 90 days using digital and social media, in-theater advertising and the like, and once we have full availability at dealerships, we'll really ramp up the advertising later on in the summer." Part of that early media effort includes immersive digital marketing like Lincoln's clever Dream Rides web experience.
