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 to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world

Sat, Jul 11 2015

The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.
