1964 Lincoln Continental Hardtop 67k Original Miles Suicide Doors on 2040-cars
Windsor, New York, United States
1964 Lincoln Continental hardtop.
The vehicle has ~68,000 original miles on it. That is true original mileage, and the odometer has not rolled over 100k. I purchased the car about 3 years ago. I acquired it from a man who got it at an estate sale in Arizona. Prior to that, it was a one owner vehicle. I've put less than 100 miles on it since purchasing. To my knowledge, it was driven from '64-'72; where it was then placed in a climate controlled garage after the owner passed away until it was sold. The car's condition reflects it. Since purchasing it, I've spent over $5k in repairs; new carb, new fuel pump, and a few other things I can list. As is, the car has a leak in the power steering pump which needs to be fixed. This just happened recently. There is also a shift linkage issue (which is fairly common as I understand with this model) which causes the shifter to wiggle a little bit when putting it into park/neutral. It's not a major issue, but want to disclose it. The 2 rear windows do not go down. Either they need the motors replaced which can be purchased for about $100, or they may just be stuck due to built up grease on them; the door panels would need to be removed to further diagnose which I have not done yet. Also at some point the muffler on the car was modified to a single pipe; unlike the common dual muffler common on these cars. The AC blows, but not very cold so if you want AC it would need a new compressor. The car still has it's original paint and has not been resprayed. The paint is not perfect, but still relatively in tact. I have a pint of matching factory paint I'll include. Cosmetically, there is a ding on the driver's side front fender which you can see in the picture and another small dent on the rear passenger door. There are some rust spots which have started to show along some seams on the exterior, but undercarriage is in decent condition. All of the chrome is overall in great condition however (which is one of the most costly parts in restoring these). There is little to no oxidation on any of the chrome trim pieces inside or outside. There is a ~2cm ding on the chrome trim piece that goes above the windshield. I purchased a new piece I did not install yet and will include with the sale as well. The interior is is pretty good condition as well. The leather is worn where your butt and back go on all seats, but the rears of the seats, tops, center and other parts are in excellent condition and look almost new. The perforated leather roof is in perfect condition and carpet is in decent condition as well. The seats would not need to be fully re-upholstered and just need the patches where it's worn replaced. I am open to having that done prior to selling it which I can discuss further with interested buyers. I have original 1964 New York (World's Fair) plate I will include which can be used on the vehicle if registered as a historic car in NY. I also have the 1964 NYS inspection sticker for the windshield I'll include. There are no owners manuals and one set of keys (for doors/trunk and ignition). This is not a show car, but not a complete junker/restoration project either. Much better condition than most of the Knowing the types of buyers this will attract I've tried to disclose as much as possible but will be happy to address any further questions. For someone looking for one of these, this is an excellent car that can be brought back up to excellent condition with a little work. I simply do not have the time for it anymore which is why I am selling. You'll be hard to find a car like this in original condition for this price. With what I paid and the work I've put in, I'm taking a loss financially- I hope the next owner will enjoy it as much as I have. Car is located in Upstate, NY. If you are purchasing out of state, you are responsible for making arrangements to pick up and transport at your expense. I am open to selling it internationally, but you would also be responsible for handling all logistics and related expenses. Buyer must pay full price in cash, wire or certified bank check within 72 hours of auction close. Since I am new to eBay I'll be glad to address any questions regarding purchasing. If you have 0 or negative feedback, please contact me prior to placing a bid. Since it is a '64 there is no VIN or 'title'. Transaction will be completed and ownership signed over like any classic car. I have only posted one picture for now, but will be uploading more over the weekend. If there is anything specific you would like to see a picture of, please message me. I am more than happy to show the car in person at my residence, but please don't waste my time; needless to say serious buyers only. |

Ford investing $5B in Lincoln
With gaps in product portfolio, Lincoln embraces experiences
Fri, Dec 1 2017In one sense, Lincoln is on a roll. It rides out the year having unveiled three substantially refreshed SUVs — the new full-size Navigator, the MKC crossover and the Nautilus, the new name for its top-selling MKX that Lincoln revealed in Los Angeles. The company is on pace to sell 50,000 vehicles this year in China, a four-fold jump after just three years in that market, and its sales growth in the U.S. outpaces its competition in the luxury segment. And analysts applauded the brand for moving away from its confusing alphanumeric naming system as a way to differentiate itself. But Lincoln remains far behind its competitors, with a market share that lags the likes of Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and even Cadillac. Its product portfolio is more limited too, heavy on hot-selling SUVs, but with only two cars — far fewer than the German luxury brands — and no marquee sports cars. Instead, Lincoln made it clear in Los Angeles that it's leaning heavily on creating distinctive experiences for its customers — its strategy focuses on being "warm, human and effortless" — as a way to stand out from the field. One way it's trying to do that is through its Black Label program, which offers premium interior trim options like unique leather stitching patterns, Alcantara headliners and laser-etched aluminum accents, and combines all that with a suite of services. Black Label members get an enhanced premium maintenance plan that includes wear and tear, anytime car washes and annual detailing, a dedicated concierge and the ability to be custom-fitted for a vehicle at their home. It also comes with a Culinary Collection, a curated list of more than 50 participating restaurants across the country that offer exclusive reservation assistance, visits from the noted chefs and other perks. Lincoln is introducing a new "Gala" Black Label theme on its new Nautilus, which it says is inspired by a night at a fashion gala. It's an interior decked out in what it calls Carmine Red, reflecting a popular color in fashion, with perforated seat stitching that form interlocking Ls. It joins the Thoroughbred and Chalet Black Label themes for the new Nautilus, which goes on sale next spring. Other Black Label themes including the Navigator's Yacht Club theme, with a Chroma Blue exterior paint color, upgraded leather seats and whitewashed teak wood in the center console, and Center Stage, with jet black Venetian leather with red accents, available on the MKC.
Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
