Here's a great '60 Continental convertible project. The car runs and drives, but needs fuel system and brake work. It shows 42k miles which we believe to be original. It has exterior rust on the quarters and rockers, but the unibody is solid and I see no structural issues. Please read below for more details and photos.

This car was donated to Goodwill by a long term owner in the early 1990s, and purchased by a collector who kept in dry storage from then until 2013. I've owned it for the last year but have several projects ahead of it and I'm out of storage space.

Body shows one repaint in the original diamond blue, with black leather interior. It is currently running off a gas can but the motor feels strong and smooth. Trans goes into gear and I've driven it around the yard. Brakes need rebuilt. Tires are fair but hold air.

There is rust in the lower quarters and rockers, and the driver's floor pan has a hole near the toeboard. Passenger front floor is soft but the rest of the floors look ok. Trunk floor is solid, door bottoms are good. Hood lip is rusted through. Trunk lid is solid. Structurally, the inner rockers and frame rails are solid and I don't see any rust damage. The undercoating is peeling off but underneath its solid.

Fender skirts are included - one has a small hole at the bottom. Spare wheel has been cleaned and primed. The jack and spare tire holddown are in the trunk. Top has a couple holes but is intact.

Electricals will need some attention - drivers window and power vent windows work fine, other windows try to work. Top motor tries to work but doesn't do much - the motors and relays will probably need cleaned and lubed.

Windshield has a couple light wiper scuffs but no cracks that I can see. Side and rear glass looks ok also.

She has a lot of potential and I hope she finds a good home. All questions are welcome.

The Lincoln is located in New Richmond, Ohio, just east of Cincinnati. I may be able to deliver for a reasonable fee, or at least put the buyer in touch with a transporter.

$500 deposit due at the end of the auction, and payment terms are flexible. We can store the car for up to a month if necessary. Clear Ohio title.

International bids welcome. Thanks for looking!

Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.

Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.

Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
