We are proud to offer for sale a rare 1966 Lincoln 4 Door Convertible VIN # 6Y86G413847, one of a limited
production run of 3180 produced in 1966. We acquired this car in April of 2010. This car has been in restoration
for almost 6 years, the car was recently completed and just this June Bakers Auto of CT went over the whole car and
made all the necessary repairs to make sure this is a reliable and truly original 66 Lincoln. It took us months to
find the correct car and this vehicle was a clean rust free, complete car with original paint and no prior body
work. We have restored this car to its original condition; only a few small things have been upgraded like the
brake master cylinder, AC converted to R134A, Dynamat added to the floor panel, and exterior color changed to
black; otherwise this car is completely original. No expense was spared to use NOS or rebuilt parts to keep the
cars originality and to make sure it drives and works like new, just like it was in 1966. All original parts were
saved and will be passed on to the new owner. This was not a frame off restoration but came very close to it.
Please review all the pictures and you will observe that the engine and transmission were removed and parts around
them were sand blasted and coated in either paint or POR-15 to protect the chassis and frame cross members from
rust. The only sheet metal part that had to be cut off and replaced was the battery tray; for some odd reason Ford
used cheap metal to make the trays therefore they always have to be replaced. At this time the vehicle has been
driven over 800 miles since it was put together. Each mile driven was used to make adjustments and fine tune it,
Bakers Auto put on about 150 miles while testing driving the car. We are confident to say that this car can be
driven cross-country without any hesitation; we did 250 mile just to bring the car back from Bakers Auto no issues
at all. Below we will do our best to make a list of parts and work done to the vehicle. The car is painted in
Global PPG Color BMW black sapphire metallic 475. The clear is a PPG DELTRON 4000 the car has four coats all
around. The interior is done in white leather with black piping; the carpet is made by Jim Wallace of Leather
Restorations in Florida the only company making an exact carpet specifically made for this car and has a the
original rubber padding with the Lincoln logo like the car had when new. The top is also made by Jim Wallace and is
an exact replica of the factory top with padding to hide the wires. The top received all brand new
weather-stripping; it took over 6 months to receive the handmade parts and the top weather stripping kit alone
costs over $4K. The entire top and window electronics work like new: all of the window switches have been replaced
and all new window motors installed. The rear windows roll down half way when you open the doors and roll up when
the doors are closed. All of the hydraulic top motors were replaced, with brand new parts. All of the rubber
moldings and padding all around the car are brand new. Over $8k has been spent just on the weather stripping. The
engine was rebuilt by Complete Engine Rebuilding in NY in 2013. The transmission was rebuilt in July of 2015 by
Dolphin Transmissions of NY. We supplied a complete Fatsco rebuilt kit so everything including the valve body was
replaced. The cooling system is all brand new including the radiator, expansion tanks and all the hoses. The fuel
system was completely rebuild with new filter and most of the lines replaced. The carburetor was rebuild using all
original parts by J.C. Carburetor of NY, the fuel pump was rebuild by Bakers Auto in CT and the Fuel Tank by
Liberty Auto In NY. The AC system has been updated to R134A: every part from the condenser, AC compressor, hoses,
expansion valves are brand new; the only rebuilt part is the evaporator. Just this June Bakers tested the AC
system. The rear leaf springs and the suspension were rebuilt as well using all new bushings, shocks and bolts; all
parts were provided by Bakers Auto and the work was done by Long Life Auto Spring in NY. The front end is
completely new: most parts were brand new NOS; the calipers and the control arms we rebuilt since no replacements
are available. The brake system has all brand new lines, the brake booster was updated. Bakers adjusted and
replaced some parts just this June. The power steering system has been rebuilt with all new hoses and filters the
system was checked over and tested by Bakers in June. The exhaust system is Stainless Steel and is completely new
with new headers. The wheels were all sandblasted and powder coated in black to match the car. The tires were put
on this June, Coker Tires brand American Classic 235/75/15 white walls brand new with less than 200 miles on them;
we added the warranty from Coker that will pass on to the new owner . The spare wheel was also repaired and
sandblasted in the grey original factory color; a brand new tire for the spare wheel installed. The trunk has a
brand new upholstery kit also manufactured by Jim Wallace. All of the chrome and steel parts were sent out to S & H
Chrome Refinishing in Tennessee: we have over $16K in re-chromed parts. We are confident we have not mentioned even
half the improvement and restoration work that was done on this vehicle. If you have any questions about a
particular part or how certain repair was completed, we have documented the process and can answer any questions
and address all concerns. The receipts for labor and parts add up to much more than what we are asking for the car
but at this time we must let this one go…

Ford expands door-latch recall to 156k more vehicles, nearly 550k total

Fri, May 1 2015

Ford is being inundated with recalls as of late. Just days ago it called in over 590,000 cars for a variety of issues. Now, the Blue Oval has announced an expansion of its door latch campaign to cover an additional 156,000 vehicles in North America. Counting the original 389,585 cars, this has brought the total to 545,906. Under this expansion, the same models are affected, but Ford is broadening the coverage dates in some cases. The recall covers the 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, and 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ; there are 456,440 units in the US, 50,681 in Canada, and 38,785 in Mexico in need of repair. In these vehicles, a door might not latch because of a broken pawl spring tab. Even if a passenger can successfully close it, the faulty part could unlatch while driving. According to Ford, there are two allegations of doors bounding back and hitting a person. There's also one possible accident from a door opening and striking another vehicle. Dealers will replace all of the latches to fix the problem. Related Video: MAY 1, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD EXPANDS DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., May 1, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is expanding a safety recall regarding door latches to include approximately 156,000 more vehicles at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bringing the total to 545,906 vehicles in North America. The door latch in certain vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is a potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of a total two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck the adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2011-14 Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Nov. 3, 2009 to May 31, 2013; certain 2013-14 Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013; certain 2014 Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, April 12, 2013 to April 26, 2013; and certain 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. There are 456,440 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 50,681 in Canada and 38,785 in Mexico.

Honda, Volvo, Lincoln are North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The Detroit Auto Show has officially kicked off, as it always does, with the announcement of the North American Car, Utility Vehicle and Truck of the Year winners. For 2018, those are the Honda Accord, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator, respectively. The Honda Accord beat out two other finalists, the Toyota Camry and the new Kia Stinger. The Accord stood out for its styling, drivability and standard equipment. The Volvo XC60 came out ahead of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda Odyssey minivan. It was chosen for its luxury, ride and value when equipped well. The Lincoln Navigator, a heavily updated model that remained true to the concept car on which it was based, beat the Ford Expedition, as well as the only pickup in the list, the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (which was a finalist for Autoblog's own Technology of the Year Award). NACTOY juror Ron Sessions complimented the "more dramatic update" compared to the Expedition. "With its design now aligned with the Continental, the Navigator becomes an even more important image — and the profit-maker for Lincoln," he said. The NACTOY Awards have been around since 1994. A panel of 60 judges, all automotive journalists, whittle the list down to three finalists in each category before announcing the winners in January. The Utility Vehicle category was added for 2017.
