1963 lincoln continental make offer - $8000 (tarzana)

Make an offer on this one of a kind (kind of, not really) never before seen (im sure they made a lot of them but they are rather rare) super machine of awesomeness. ok that last part is true but do keep in mind this is not a stock car. this is a hot rod Lincoln. this car is still one of the most sought after tuna boat hot rods in film, tv, and daily life. They have used this very model in films from the Matrix to popular HBO shows. you will impress many people with this car.

why am I selling it? honestly I rather wouldn't. I would rather take my time and love on the thing daily until kick the bucket but I also would like to move to another state with the rest of my toys and I do not want to haul this car across country.

yes it drives, very well when it is not leaking. please see below for details but again I cannot stress enough this is a simple repair that will make this car a dependable daily if you don't mind the gas.

the gas, this is a racing motor with a small rv cam ( I have the spec sheet, don't ask me now I will not get up from my comfy couch to go look at it, you understand), this was not done by me. however the car likes 97+ octane fuel and with the high compression will knock a bit with straight pump gas. it will run all day long but you must remember this motor is rated at over 500hp.

lets see, some history.
Kennedy bought a 61 Lincoln but had a grill from a 63 installed because he liked it better.
Brad Pitt once rode in this car (sure it was merely his face on a dvd box but it counts).
Al Bundy, Ted Bundy's older brother, lost his virginity in this car and gifted it to his mother in law who started a tv show based on the dysfunctional family exploits of her now estranged son in law.
Aliens from Pleiades have personally converted 6 people to a very popular religion while riding in the back seat of this car, two of which reside in NOHO and one is starting a band. They would like to use this car in an upcoming music video so I hope you like hip hop.
the current pope is on record saying that his next car will be this car, so I hope you buy it first because I don't want to ship this to Italy.

negatives.

the end seals under the intake manifold need to be replaced so the oil is leaking past. I had paid a friend to clean up the intake and reinstall it because I hurt my arm and could not, he did not do a great job. I have the new gaskets but would rather not spend the time or effort. this is a 2-3 hour job for a hobbyist, much less for a professional. we can discuss this in the price but I know how much this job costs to fix so its not that big of an issue.
has some body rust at quarter panels behnd the tire. has some minor dents. previous owner cut a hole in the hood for air cleaner. seats need recovering. back seat burnt. passenger door front right and rear driver windows do not roll down every time. the motors work, ( i can hear them) but not always action.

Terms

I am not out to scam anyone but I cannot warranty this or any other vehicle, I am but one man. that said this car is being sold AS IS, with no warranty expressed or implied. This is hot rod and project, if you do not expect to get dirty...buy a Honda. I would consider running pick up 30's - 50's plus cash.

This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel this listing.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Lincoln debuts MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Lincoln is making the decisive commitment that it wants to improve its brand perception going forward. It can't be cheap to hire A-list talent like Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, for its new ad campaign for the 2015 MKC crossover, but the company is showing that it's serious about the new vehicle and its future. The first three of these five commercials are just hitting YouTube, and they begin airing on television on September 6.
The Live in Your Moment campaign is all about Lincoln trying to sell not just the MKC to customers but also explain the brand's philosophy. It's one of the oldest luxury automakers around, but hasn't exactly had a glorious history, especially recently. Based on these first ads, we can see that there's a definite focus on philosophizing rather than focusing on the crossover. At times, McConaughey seems just a mustache and a mangled beer can away from reprising his role from True Detective.
The first ad (above) is simply titled Intro and sets the mood and concept for the whole campaign. Bull has McConaughey talking to a longhorn in the middle of a road, and I Just Like It has him explaining his affinity for the brand. Lincoln's full release is available below, and you can view the other ads by flipping through the playlist in the video player above.

Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.
