*Low Reserve Auction* This is a solid California car that is ready to drive for the summer. This classic is powered by the 430 cu. big block with 320 factory horsepower. This engine spun like a top when I got it but wanted to make sure it was dependable. So the top end was overhauled and there was no piece that didn't get sand blasted or resurfaced. All new hardware was used to compliment the restored block and manifolds. Intake and exhaust manifolds were hot tanked, sand blasted and coated cast gray for that factory look. Since the bottom end of the engine looked good I decided a new urethane main seal and oil pan gasket would only be fitting for this power plant. This engine includes rebuilt heads with all new valves, guides and seats, all new freeze plugs, gaskets, lifters, rebuilt power steering pump, rebuilt AC compressor, new fuel pump, coil, distributor, cap and rotor, 8.8 custom crimped spark plug wires, 600cc Edelbrock carb. with electric choke that hooks up with the original linkage flawlessly. The engine also breathes alot more freely since installing a complete dual exhaust system with aluminized 2 1/4" pipes. The exhaust flows thru two 18" glass packs for a mild classic rumble. The coolant system was not overlooked as I rebuilt the all copper heater core, radiator as well as the water pump. The coolant flows green with all new fittings, hoses (upper/lower radiator and heater hoses) and an upgraded radiator fill neck that takes the guess work out of the factory pressure bottle. The alt., battery, starter, and solenoid are also new with fresh batt. cables and grounds. The new twin v-belts keep the fan cooling the radiator even on hot days. This car was my daily driver for 3 months straight this year and never gave me any trouble. The transmission was a smooth shifter when I bought the car 4 years ago, so I just replaced the seals while the engine was out. The trans. still shifts just as smooth and doesn't leak oil. The brakes work very good with the shoes I put on and the booster works just like it did in 1964. The factory wiring and vacuum lines are all in tact, there is no aftermarket hacks on this wiring. All switches and lights work, including the map light, dome light, gauges, fan blower, cigarette lighters, horn, electric antenna, 6-way power seats, power windows with power wing vents, blinkers, headlights and even has the rare hazard light option from the dealership (not standard equip. until 1966). The power steering pump works the windshield wipers and the new blades on this vehicle just as it was designed to, yes I said power steering fluid. The vacuum options also are all functional including vacuum actuated door locks, tilt steering column, emergency brake with auto release on the shifter and the all important vacuum boosted brakes. This car floats on the suspension, has great alignment, and roars with power when you need it. The interior is in great shape with only a tear in the drivers seat. The glass is in great shape with no cracks. Trim is so important on these oddball Lincolns because costs are very high trying to piece together a nice set, no worries here as the trim is all present inside and out with a great finish on it. The locks are all working with a key for ignition/trunk and one for the door locks. Luckily there are no big rust issues as this is a true California car. This car also has a solid deck lid, which isn't as common as you think (the manufacturer didn't primer the inside of the deck lid panels before welding them together so most rusted from inside out). The bumpers are in good shape with no accidents on them. Then wheels that came with the car were aftermarket so I replaced them with Wheel Vintique factory replacements which were painted gloss black professionally with a clear coat to keep them shinning thru the years. However I have not been able to find a set of hubcaps, but they are still available for this year on the internet. The tires are brand new also with minimal wear on them. The engine case was sanded, sealed and painted while the engine was out. The trunk has been undercoated and sealed with new weatherstripping. Cool-tec sound/heat suppressing mat was laid over the undercoated trunk floor. The body on this car is straight with no dents or scratches. This car was painted professionally at the beginning of the year and I have waxed it every time I washed it. It is kept indoors but it would certainly stand up to outdoor storage. The paint is very shinny and always gets compliments as well as having brand new tail light lenses that make this classic sharp. On a technical note this vehicle's carb. was tuned for 94 ft. above sea level, so it might have to be adjusted to meet your altitude conditions. Also the timing is retarded a few degrees to compensate for the lower octane fuels available at the pump these days (this engine was originally designed to run 100 octane fuel). This vehicle has original black California license plates that come with the car if it is sold in California but if it is a out of state sale, I will retain the black plates (no sense in turning in those historical plates to your local DMV). Still with the car is the original owner's manual. This vehicle is owned by me alone and is free and clear of any liens, my registration is current and has no back fees. I have many dollars, hours and memories in this car and I am sad to see it go, but I have other cars and I can't keep them all unfortunately. I am a straight toward and fair person but I do not have to fire sale this car, so no low ball email please. All the hard work has been done for you on this one and all you have to do is buy and drive. A $500 deposit is do within 24 hrs. of the end of the auction via PayPal. The remaining balance will be paid thru cash in person, money order, or bank transfer. The car will be released immediately with a cash or bank transfer, however I will not release vehicle with money order until 3 business days after check has been cashed to verify it will not be canceled. If the deposit is not received in the timed frame mentioned above, I have the right to terminate the sale if I feel necessary. Shipping is local pickup only and I am willing to work with the shipper to make this transaction as painless as possible. Thank you for your interest.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
