1962 Lincoln Continental

Up for sale is a great example of an iconic American luxury classic that only continues to increase in value and rarity as times goes on. I've had the pleasure of owning this Continental for a few years now and have done much work to it. It has a freshly rebuilt engine with less than 500 miles since it was dropped in last year. The car drives excellent and has plenty of power to move when you need to. It drives and handles very easy with the factory comfort of power steering and power brakes. These cars are getting harder and harder to find every year and especially in this condition. It's ready to be enjoyed as is and used as a weekend cruiser or daily driver. I have a clean CA title in hand with current registration until August 2014. The car is titled under my name and I'm ready to make a deal with the winning bidder.

I bought the Lincoln about 3 years ago from a Navy friend of mine and have slowly done most of the restoration work to it. The car had been in the previous owner's family since new and I am only the third registered owner. It still has the factory engine and transmission which were rebuilt just last year. I paid $3,000 to have the original 430 rebuilt alone. Car starts on first key turn and doesn't have any mechanical issues. Transmission shifts nice and smooth as well. Interior was all done last year including seat upholstery, headliner, replaced all wood trim, dash detail, trunk carpet, and polished some of the interior trim parts. Dash pad is original and uncracked which is very rare for these cars. Car has all original chrome and stainless steel trim and nothing is missing. Bumpers are original and so is most of the trim, only a few parts have been polished and re-chromed. The car's interior is black leather from factory but the exterior was changed from its original "caspian gold" color to black about 5 years ago. Paint looks good for being a few years old. It has a few paint imperfections from use over the years but nothing major. This car has always been in dry California weather and there are no signs of rust issues anywhere on the car. It's very solid and doors open & close great with no sagging. Car has great lines and spacing between fenders, hood, trunk, and doors. Most of the electrical works including all 4 windows, interior lights, exterior lights, turn signals, wipers, and gauges. The seat only moves forward and back so the control switch needs a rebuild, original AM radio needs new speaker hooked up, and A/C system is due for a service. It blew cold air when I first got the car years ago but since the engine was rebuilt I never got a chance to recharge the system again. Everything is there and the blower system inside the car works perfect. Car has stock suspension but looks lowered because of the smaller tires. I would suggest maybe adding some larger white-wall Cooker tires down the line to give it that factory stance. Car drives and handles well at all speeds. This is not a trailer queen with a $10k paint job or nut and bolt restoration. It's a nice driver quality classic that can be enjoyed as is or used as a platform for someone looking to do a full resto on a 62.

Car is available for inspection during the listing so send me a message with your contact info and I will call you to set up an appointment. It's being sold in AS IS condition with no warranty just like any other classic car. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. The only payment methods I will accept are cash in person, bank wire transfer, or cashiers check but the car stays until your check clears my bank account. This is a NO RESERVE listing and it will sell to the highest bidder no matter what it ends at. View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks!

Ford recalls over 500,000 trucks and SUVs, including Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator

Fri, Aug 30 2019

For the second time in a month, Ford is recalling the brand-new 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator for minor safety issues. This recall, which also affects certain 2018-2020 Ford F-150s, 2019-2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Ford Explorers, and 2019-2020 Ford Expeditions, pertains to potentially faulty seat-back reclining mechanisms. In total, the recall touches 550,186 vehicles. A mechanical part meant for relaxation and comfort has the Ford Motor Company stressin'. Ford says potentially affected vehicles might be missing the "third pawl required for seat-back strength" in the reclining mechanisms on certain seats. Because of this, the seats might not properly keep a person in place during the event of a crash or otherwise.  In the F-150s, F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Explorers, and Expeditions, the recall affects vehicles with manual driver and/or front passenger seat-back recliners. On the 2020 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators, rear outboard seats with manual recliners are of concern. Of the more than 550,000 vehicles, 483,325 vehicles are in the United States, 58,712 are in Canada and 8,149 are in Mexico. Thus far, Ford is not aware of any injuries from the issues. Ford says it expects most vehicles will not need repair, but dealers will inspect the seat structures out of precaution. If fault is found, dealers will replace the seat structure altogether. For this recall, Ford's reference number is 19C07. Contact your dealer for more information. Featured Gallery 2020 Ford Explorer View 47 Photos Recalls Ford Lincoln Truck SUV

Lincoln cancels plan to build electric vehicle on Rivian's platform

Tue, Apr 28 2020

Just three months ago, Lincoln announced a project to build a vehicle atop Rivian’s skateboard platform. Today, itÂ’s canceling those plans. Automotive News originally reported the news, and a Lincoln spokesperson confirmed it to us. Lincoln reportedly informed dealers of its decision to cancel the electric project earlier today, citing the “current environment.” Language like that these days in the automotive industry refers to the coronavirus pandemic and flailing vehicle sales. Originally, Lincoln announced that this model would launch in 2022. It was to be built using the same platform underpinning the Rivian R1S and R1T. The partnership with Rivian was so close that this Lincoln was going to be built at RivianÂ’s Normal, IL assembly plant. Production of the plant itself was halted recently in the face of the coronavirus, which is bad news for any products meant to be built there in the near future. Lincoln never announced that this vehicle was going to be an SUV, but that was the likely result of it using RivianÂ’s platform designed for rugged and large utility vehicles. However, Lincoln says it still has plans to build an electric vehicle. The companyÂ’s statement follows: “Given the current environment, Lincoln and Rivian have decided not to pursue the development of a fully electric vehicle based on RivianÂ’s skateboard platform. Our strategic commitment to Lincoln, Rivian and electrification remains unchanged and LincolnÂ’s future plans will include an all-electric vehicle consistent with its Quiet Flight DNA.” Lincoln hasnÂ’t specified any product details or timing for when this mystery electric vehicle will launch. It could be based off the Mustang Mach-E platform, or it could be a larger vehicle based off the future electric F-150 platform. The former could launch sooner, while the latter is likely a little ways out still. Lincoln doesnÂ’t want this news to be read as a loosening of ties between itself and Rivian either. “Our partnership with Rivian is strong,” LincolnÂ’s statement reads. “While the Lincoln electric vehicle did not turn out to be the right opportunity, we continue to work closely together with Rivian. Our strategic commitment remains unchanged and we will continue to work with Rivian on an alternative vehicle based on RivianÂ’s skateboard platform.” As of now, Lincoln hasnÂ’t revealed exactly what didnÂ’t line up to make the planned collaboration work.

Lincoln Aviator returns, VW ponders pickups, and Subaru Forester endures

Mon, Apr 2 2018

NEW YORK – Volkswagen is taking a hard look at a pickup truck, the Lincoln Aviator is back, and you love old Subarus (we'll explain). The New York Auto Show returned last week with flair and a wide range of promising reveals. Let's break down some of the big news, plus a few things you might have missed. News: Ford is fortifying Lincoln with the Aviator SUV Views: Doing a mid-size SUV is obvious. Calling it the Aviator wasn't. I like it. Using Navigator design cues, this thing looks the part and should give Lincoln some energy and sales volume. Not playing in the midsize SUV segment has been a mistake for Ford's luxury brand, and the Aviator should fill a much-needed hole. Props to Lincoln for dusting off the Aviator name, most recently used on a rebadged Ford Explorer built in 2003-2005. It sounds classy and historic, like something from 1930s, even though it only dates to the tail end of the " Friends" era. Speaking of names, when the MKC gets a new one, Lincoln should dust off Zephyr, a moniker it actually used in the '30s and then briefly in the early 2000s. Why use the Aviator name? Jim Farley, Ford's president of global markets, said it's about reminding consumers that Ford has traditionally built strong SUVs. "I think in a way the legacy is falling in love with what we do best," he said. "We wanted to go back to our roots. We know how to do this well." Farley also said the Aviator could prove to be Lincoln's bestseller. The Aviator was well-received in New York, earning our Best in Show award and garnering cautiously optimistic reactions from some analysts. "Lincoln ran this experiment once before ... differences in the market conditions, stronger differentiation and appetite for utility vehicles may prove a different story for this Aviator," IHS analyst Stephanie Brinley said. View 19 Photos News: VW surprised the car world with the Atlas Tanoak pickup concept Views: Good move. VW should build this. The concept is based on a longer version of the Atlas platform and would take aim at the midsize truck segment. VW is using this prototype to "gauge the reactions" of automotive influencers, but make no mistake, the Tanoak is totally doable. Using Atlas bones and mechanicals punched up with rugged styling and some soft-road capability, the Tanoak would grow VW's portfolio in a smart way. The Atlas Cross Sport concept, also revealed in New York, signals that Atlas expansion is already underway.
