1961 Lincoln Continental, Suicide Doors, 61, Lincoln, Classic, White. on 2040-cars
La Mesa, California, United States

Here's all original 61 Lincoln Continental. The car runs and drives great, but it is a project and will need work.
Problem area's: The car does have rust in the typical locations on these cars, lower doglegs, underneath chrome trim, random spots, and on the trunk lid. Underbody is solid though. The interior needs to be reupholstered , mainly the dash, back seats, headliner and carpeting and lower edge of the door carpeting. There's chrome pitting, and the front lip above the grill needs to be repaired as somebody before me must of bondoed it thats why you cracking there in the pictures. There's a few dents here and there, but nothing serious, some scratches on the chrome trim, grill and bumpers, and small dents on the stainless mouldings. Power Door locks don't work because of a vacuum leak somewhere. Radio, HVAC does not work, I have the A/C compressor, hoses and the condenser is in storage. There's a lot of steering play, so the steering linkage will need to be rebuilt, including some suspension work. 2 of the power windows do work, the driver side and right rear passenger side. There's an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold, and some engine blowby, oil leaks, but the car runs strong and idles smooth. Horns don't work, possibly a wiring issue, but I have them in storage as well. Tires are old. The Positives Carb was rebuilt several years ago, new upper control arm bushings, new front and rear shocks, new front brake shoe's and wheel cylinders. Cap and Rotor is good. Electronic ignition ( no points), good starter motor. The car originally came with a generator but was converted to an Alternator. Serviced transmission. The car brakes strong. I installed Cherry Bomb Glasspacks so the car has a nice throaty growl to it. I also have extra spare parts I'll pitch in. ( radiator expansion tanks, exterior quarter panel Continental script, window switches, original window washer bag with the Continental logo, Continental Script that glues onto the glove box, brand new U-Joint, and original owners manual). The Lincoln runs well, it does smell like fumes however because of the blowby, but everything is there and the car is in decent shape considering the flaws. |

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Did Neil Young just spill the beans on a 2016 Lincoln Continental? [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Neil Young may be better known as a singer-songwriter and rock n' roll icon than he is for his involvement with cars, but the Canadian-born musician is not without his automotive credentials. His latest book, after all, is titled "Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars," and one of his most famous songs, "Long May You Run," was written about his old station wagon. But does that mean he's got an inside line on new cars coming out? In an appearance on CNBC's Mad Money with Matt Cramer this week, the Y in CSNY was plugging Pono, a portable music player and service he developed. During the segment, which you can watch in the video clip below, Young mentioned that his company was working on a new in-car audio integration with Harman, which as we know just signed a deal with Lincoln. Here's where it gets interesting: The Godfather of Grunge mentioned that Pono and Harman were preparing to put the system in the 2016 Lincoln Continental. The thing is, Lincoln hasn't made a Continental for a dozen years now. Does Neil know something we don't, or did he simply misspeak? He is, after all, working on an electric-converted '59 Continental he calls the LincVolt, so it wouldn't be hard to imagine he got mixed up. But maybe, just maybe, it was the first bit of leaked info that Ford's luxury division is planning on shifting away from its MK-based naming scheme and reviving at least one iconic nameplate.
