1964 Lincoln Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:34628
Location:

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

Car has been in dry storage for about 43 years. A friend of the family bought the car from the original owner in 1968 ( have cancelled title) and drove the car until about 1971 when he had an issue with the car not starting by the key.  He put the car in a dry garage and did not get the time to fix it. After he passed away, my father bought the car from the family around 1994 and again put it in dry storage. . Car has 34,628 miles as shown on the odometer, (see photo), and to my knowledge are original.

My father attempted to fix the ignition issue by replacing the ignition key cylinder, the starter solenoid, plugs, points and condenser which did not resolve the issue. He left the car that way as he had other things going on. That is why the cluster face, glovebox and a few other small items associated to that attempt at fixing are not installed. (seen in photo). He put all fasteners/parts in plastic bags and a box then stored them in the car.

Car has been started several times over the years we have owned it by turning the ignition switch on, jumping the starter solenoid and hooking up a fuel line to a gas can. The car runs very well. Transmission operates also. Coolant and oil have been drained, new coolant, oil and filter were installed two times, once when bought and once several months ago. The car was brought out for photos for this ad, put on stands, started and ran for about a half hour with no issue. (as seen on stands in photo). Car has not been driven as the brakes do not function from sitting so long. Car does roll freely. The windows operate except for the drivers door. Glass is good. Power antenna operates, seat works. 

The power top did work when first purchased but does not as of now. There is no evidence of leaky/faulty pumps/actuators. Top is in nice condition. There is a little filler at the left side rear wheel well and at the right wheel wells, applied by the previous owner (example seen  in photo). There is a very small rust through at left rear quarter at bottom by rear bumper. Otherwise the body and underside do not appear to have any rust through. No obvious dents. The underside looks to have been undercoated. Interior is very nice with minimal wear. Bumpers, grille, stainless are all there and not damaged. No sign/s of previous accident damage/repaint. The car has not been abused.

I feel the car would be an easy restore or custom, but that is my opinion. 

The background information is to the best of my knowledge/memory. Both persons are no longer alive.

Please, contact me ONLY if you are serious about the transaction and have the funds available to purchase. Do not waste my time or yours. Thank you.

Please inspect the photos well. 

If you have any questions, please CALL ONLY. NO TEXTS. I can be reached between 8 am and 6 pm, Michigan time please. You are welcome to schedule a time to see the car. I will do my best to answer your questions. My number is 313-231-0283. Title is free and clear.

Car is sold as is. 

DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING, NO SPAMMERS/SCAMMERS/CHECK CASHERS/TIME WASTERS...........don't even think about it! Thank you!

Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now 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."

Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.
