Beloit, Wisconsin, United States

I have owned this California Nevada rust free car since 1988, has old Nevada title, always dry storage. All the work done in the pictures is four years old or less, all the upholstery and all the restoration parts such as weatherstrip were purchased within the last four years also, Everything is fresh! The car is complete with lots of extra parts included, it is missing the hood ornament, a two hundred dollar replacement, plater lost it. I'm selling this car because I need the funds to finish other cars also nearing completion. Obviously this car is selling at a loss, basically you would be paying for the work done as seen in the photos, the car itself and all the parts I bought new and used would be free. The asking price is about fifty cents on the dollar.
The car comes with. New base coat clear coat bare metal respray. New rebuilt .30 over engine, rebuilt trans, new motor and trans mounts, recored radiator, new glass (not windshield and back glass, both are good). New weatherstrip, new leather upholstery with completely redone and cleaned seat frames and springs, all new interior vinyl panels ready to install. New black convertible top and pads (not installed), new carpet and padding, new trunk lining kit, new sill plates. All new suspension (installed) including, ball joints and tie rods, new coil springs front and rear, all new bushings front and rear. All new brake parts (not installed) including, shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, hoses, rebuilt booster and master, all drums original and in excellent condition. All the stainless was polished and repaired as needed, included is NOS rocker stainless trim in nos wrap (not on car). 99% of the chrome has been replated, a few parts were lost and I bought replacements, these are the trim pieces that mount to the trunk lid. These good parts need plating. Convertible frame and rear window assembly are installed in car. More Installed new parts include, all new hydraulics for the top, pump, hoses and lift cylinders. All new window motors. Also included are four beautiful restored Continental hub caps(look new), standard Continental caps as seen in period advertising. Besides the obvious assembly .Things that need to be done. Recover dash soft trim, restore steering wheel, paint and install dash (includes new gauge cluster lens), refurbish rust free gas tank. rebuild starter motor and generator or just clean and use. Rebuild carburetor, power antenna needs rebuild, includes two very good grills, one a little better than the other, it needs to be polished . All the removed parts are in marked boxes and bags. I'm a pretty organised guy so there shouldn't be any significant problems with missing parts. Overall I think I covered it, but it's hard to remember everything. Have a question just ask, need more pictures, no problem. I would estimate that a serious experienced car guy could have this car done this summer. Good flip for the right person. I would encourage serious buyers to come and see the car before you buy it. I will consider CLOSE offers, but please, don't waste my time with low balls, I will not respond. $2000 dollar cashiers check deposit, wire transfer the balance before car is released. This 58 Continental is sold as is, where is. Buyer responsible for all shipping charges. email me at atrip3@yahoo.com |

2016 Lincoln MKX packs plenty of power, MKC-inspired looks
Tue, Jan 13 2015Following on the heels of Ford's unveiling of its new Edge a few months back, Lincoln officially introduced the new MKX counterpart on Tuesday at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Unlike its Ford counterpart, the MKX does away with any notion of a four-cylinder, opting for the buyer's choice of a pair of V6 engines. At its base is FoMoCo's familiar 3.7-liter V6, generating a projected 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, although the real exciting powertrain news focuses on Lincoln's optional engine. Like the Edge, the top-end engine is a 2.7-liter, EcoBoost V6 that promises "more than" 330 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. We'd love to tell you about the performance impact this new engine has on the MKX, but as Lincoln probably hasn't published a 0-60 time since 1967, that simply isn't possible. Suffice it to say, we expect the most potent engine should offer pretty brisk acceleration. Aside from the power increase provided by the MKX's new engine lineup, Lincoln has thoroughly refitted the crossover's exterior, using its handsome MKC kid brother as its inspiration. It's a good look, to be honest, allowing the new CUV to maintain its styling edge over its Blue Ovaled platform mate. See what we mean in our gallery of live images, right from the Lincoln stage at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
