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. |

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest
Thu, Feb 27 2014Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
