This is a two tone Mark ll, one of 16, with maybe 3 originals left, Dark Bronze roof, Light bronze lower. This car is at least 80% there. The frame is bad. Listed below is what the winning bid receives.
This car has a nice body for being 57 years old.
The front floor pans have already been replaced.
Exhaust in the car is very solid.
A good radio core with the KNOBS to use for a conversion to am/fm.
A real nice instrument cluster, with working gauges.
Power seat motors, front door window motors.
The rear seat can be dyed and reused, the front will have to be redone.
Passenger side rocker molding is in decent shape, And you will get a NOS driver side rocker with the car. [$700 value]
Hood chrome trim is very nice shape.
Front and rear bumpers clean up real nice and are good driver quality.
Both taillight assby are there, and the hinges are in good shape on the fuel tank side.
The car has tinted glass, all good, but it is a non a/c car.
It come with a good set of hood hinges, no slop or worn out.
The grill will clean up nice, and the center bar is perfect, no dents or cracks. [$350 value]
Now a description of the engine and rolling frame.
The frame had 2 SMALL bad spots that I repaired with heavy steel patches. Then gave a quick coat of black paint so it would not get surface rust.
The engine is a 57,000 mile engine with no leaks, no taps, no smoke, no gunk build up inside. This motor needs nothing, it sounds great. This motor came from another Mark ll. I drove the car before I cut it up. The carb may need rebuilt, as it has been sitting in my shop for 3 years, and the gaskets may have dried up.
The transmission from the same car. It shifts smooth, with no leaks.
Rear brakes are on the frame, front ones need to be switches from the donor car to the rolling frame.
After you make the switch to the good frame, you will have a lot of parts that are extra, or you could sell. There is a complete suspension and a rebuilt trans in the donor car.
Parts I know you will need to finish. Vent window motors, quarter window motors, door locks. I THINK I have a outside mirror and a trunk medallion, that you could get rechromed, again, I THINK!
Please do not ask what the reserve is, bid what it is worth to you. I will try to answer all your questions asap.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
Production 2017 Lincoln Continental arrives with 400-hp V6
Tue, Jan 12 2016Lincoln still isn't saying much about its new flagship, the long-awaited Continental. Instead, it's got to get everyone's attention. The brand that's been threatening to get a genuine luxury game going for years probably wants people to sit inside the fullsize sedan to learn what it's got, and we think that's a great idea. One good bit we know is that the new Continental is powered by a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with "a projected" 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. We also know the marketing folks have the luxury-speak down, with lavish promises of heated, cooled, and massaging Perfect Position 30-way seats that adjust to shape and weight, as well as climate-controlled seats for rear passengers that also recline, and "generous rear legroom." Themed interior appointments come in Chalet, Thoroughbred, and Rhapsody selections, perceived-quality boosted further by a specific number of stitches-per-inch on the leather, a laser-cut door on the instrument panel, and real wood and aluminum trim. Acoustic laminated glass, active noise control, and available Revel audio are meant to insure serenity. Technology points are scored with optional adaptive steering and all-wheel drive, three drive modes, dynamic torque vectoring, surround-view cameras, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision braking. We will really begin to know the new Continental when we sit in it later today at the Detroit Auto Show, for now there's the press release below. All-New Lincoln Continental Delivers Quiet Luxury: Elegant, Effortlessly Powerful, Serene - Lincoln Motor Company introduces its elegant new flagship – the all-new Continental – coming this fall - Effortless power comes from new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces a projected 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque1; advanced safety technology is also featured - Serene interior offers the comfort of Lincoln's innovative Perfect Position Seat, spaciousness, rear seat amenities, Revel® audio system and top-grade materials DETROIT, Jan. 12, 2016 – Lincoln Motor Company heralds the return of its flagship – the all-new Lincoln Continental – an elegant, effortlessly powerful, serene full-size sedan that delivers quiet luxury to the industry's most discerning customers.
