1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
|
This is a rare 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible with bucket seats. The car runs and drives. I just spent 2500 dollars on carb rebuild and new brakes and a couple of other items. Please view all pictures and ask questions on anything and everything. The cars needs much work but for a few grand more you could have a decent very cool driver. The pictures make the car look better than it is to be honest. The panels are pretty darn straight but it will need a full paint job if you wish to have a shiny vehicle. There is a rust bubble on the right rear fender well. The rest of the body is fairly clean minus a ding or two. The bumpers have some rust as shown. The convertible top does not work. The motor turns and spins but does not engage the clamps above the windshield. The top is in very nice shape minus the rear window trim area which is coming apart but should not leak. The front power windows work including the quarter windows, the other windows do not. There are missing parts on the interior as shown in photos. Windows don't line up exact just based on the rear windows not working. The tail lights are not working or brake lights. I am sure this is an easy fix but cannot access since the trunk will not go up based on previous top comment. As mentioned it is a rare set up but this would be a better weekend cruiser than a full restoration vehicle as the cost would be astronomical. Items to address would be top, windows, lights then you could tinker and adjust thereafter. I have a box of little items such as the ashtray etc...There are alot of things that need tightening etc...so I hopefully think you get the picture.
As mentioned it runs and drives straight down the road and will make a cool driving, eye catching convertible with a little work but I am trying to give an accurate description so I won't get a "hey, I anticipated a really nice car and it is not". On May-18-14 at 11:41:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Lots of questions. When I say full restoration I am speaking in terms of any classic. I have a beautiful 58 356a but to put to museum is astronomical. This car with paint, top etc would look fantastic as panels etc are very nice but just want to inform. It is not the condition that some of these 20k convertibles are but with about 5-7 it would be. My reserve is much lower than that as to afford the new owner opportunity for growth. I am taking a bath on this as the individual I bought it off of told me all worked. I would rather not invest any more money in it My reserve is half of what I paid and is worth it. |

Woman keying luxury car caught on tape
Thu, Nov 12 2015Toronto police are on the hunt for a disguised woman who was caught on camera Sunday keying a car. The woman sported a red bandana over her face and baseball cap as she ran up to the Lincoln MKS in a driveway, the Toronto Star reported. She then went to town with a sharp object, gleefully scratching the car's paint job. She runs off after nearly a minute of enthusiastic damage. Police believe the victim and the vandal know each other, since the Lincoln is the only car in the neighborhood she hit. This is also the third time this particular car has been damaged. They suspect this woman is responsible for the previous incidents. Toronto police told the Star that it will likely cost Lincoln owner thousands to have his car repaired. Security cameras are great for catching vandals in the act, though the videos are difficult for any car enthusiast to watch. Take for instance this video from London in April of a man scratching an Aston Martin while pushing a baby stroller. News Source: The Toronto Star Lincoln Videos vandalism scratch
Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
