Solid California car!

430 V8 stock motor with Edelbrock Carb.   believed only 117K miles on drive train.  Engine purrs like a kitten. 

Factory A/C needs Freon at least

power seat, works 

power door lock vacuum style (not working)

power windows, all go up and down tracks and gears re greased and oiled, . rear drivers window only goes up and down from rear door location.  like I said all window motors are good. power wind wings work too

power antenna works, AM radio does not.

Basics like speedo, dash gauges work as they should.

power trunk and top need to be serviced.  I have preformed a bypass test on all top parts, Although top and trunk do not currently work as they should, I can tell you honestly that The top pump motor is good, the hydraulic rams cyc work, the electric latch system works, the upper panel lift motor works too. So in other words it is likely that it will be a relay, or limit switch adjustment or replacement will most likely get this top working properly.  John Cashman travels 48 states fixing power tops on 1961-67 Lincoln Convertibles all year. John is Highly recommended (813) 390 1950 .

Brakes stop well.  Just replaced Master cyc, both rear cyc, rear shoes,and front rubber hoses.

Glass and chrome.  All glass is good with one small chip in front windshield.  Interior chrome is in decent to good condition.  Chrome around front interior windshield is pitted (they all are), other wise interior chrome is  good for her age.  Exterior chrome is in good condition for her age.  Not show quality , but over all chrome is good, better than most original  Lincolns.

Tires and wheels,20" wheels and tires Stock tires wheels and hub caps available instead of these wheels if wanted.
.  
Body and rust.  Body is pretty straight, small dent on each front fender.  Drivers rear door replaced from different car.  As for as i can tell this car has the original paint with no known bondo on her. Real hard to find a rust free bondo free classic car.  NO rust rot, has surface rust here and there, but no rust holes or rot.  Solid frame too.

Brand new black canvas top and back window (expensive top).  New carpet kit too..

Clean California Car with Ca title and current registration too.

History and dependable?  So I just recently purchased this car.  She had been taking a nap since 1975.  When i got her she was missing a door and missing the drive train.  Since she was such a rare and solid car I got a 1965 hardtop donor car for all needed running gear.  the donor car was a clean old man car in a recent wreck.  I was told that it had 117K original miles.  the speedo read 17k miles I am sure it turned over one time.  I do believe it is 117K miles on drive train.  Engine sounds good and healthy, no internal knocks or clunks.  Ideals nice, no excessive smoke, no major leeks of any fluids.  I just got her running this year, I have been recently driving her around town, I got a good feeling about this car.  I think she will be a good runner. She has a nice smooth ride to her .

1965 Lincoln is the best year.  Lots of us Lincoln lovers believe 1965 is the best year.  It is the first year of front disk brakes, last year of cool body lines and one year only classy grill.  One of the first years to have the much needed leg room for rear passengers (1961-63 had little leg room ).  Anyways only 3300 convertibles were made in 1965 , Currently today only like 538 convertible 1965 Lincolns  total, are currently registered in all of the USA So lets say there is another 500 not registered or out of this country, that would make this literally  one of 1000 left in the entire world! So it is rare to find a decent 1965 convertible at a reasonable price. This may be your opportunity to own a sweet car and a cool peace of history that is destined to go up dramatically in near future. 


Willing to work with you shipping company, but full payment is needed before your shipping company can pick her up.  You are welcome to fly into Sacramento to check or pick her up.  I may be willing to pick you up from the airport too. Use the shipping calculator to find out how much to ship to you. Generally speaking the more you pay the faster you get her.  Should be able to get it shipped to you for $400 to $1600 depending on how far away from Sacramento Ca, you are.

Small deposit expected  immediately to hold your Lincoln . If you have less than 10 positive feedback ask me before bidding, no flake please.

I am doing my best to give you all the info I can... All questions are welcome, I know a lot about these cars.

Some what serious to serious people are welcome to call too.  Danny (916) 508 1306

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
