Up for sale is a 1964 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors.  I bought this car with hopes of restoring it but I won't have the time or money to do it the way I want.  My loss is your gain.

I bought this car from a private party in Rhode Island and in RI for vehicles this old you don't need a title so I DO NOT HAVE THE TITLE to go with the car
.  Please check your local laws as to properly titling this vehicle.  I did have the VIN run in MA and it is not stolen or have anything against it.

The body on this car is super straight and the metal is in 90% condition.  I went over the whole car and if it was hit or any bondo on it I couldn't find it!  There are 4 areas on the body where it rotted through and I have pictured them.  The spots with the rot would be very easy to fix and replace as they are on relatively flat areas.  The door jams, engine compartment, roof and doors are near perfect with only very minor rust.  There is also a small amount of rot in the trunk but not bad and easily replaced.  Someone had sprayed the under carriage of the car a while back with undercoating that is just now starting to peel off.  When I put it up on the lift there was only slight surface rust and no rot that I saw.  When I bought the car there was no hood and I hadn't bought one yet so it does not have a hood.  Also it will need a new trunk lid, the one that came with it was in ruff shape but I kept it and will be included with the car to use for parts.

The interior is in decent shape as seen in the pictures.  The dash is in great shape with no cracks or tears and all the original components are still there.  This car has not been canabalized!  The seats have aged and the leather has cracked but is all there.  The door panels are not on the door right now but all four are in the back seat.  ALL CHROME TRIM is there, the only thing not in the picture are the headlight bezels but I do have them somewhere.  ALL GLASS APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL and in good shape!

The only big down side to this car is the engine.  It's the original engine and appears to have seized at some point.  I had begun taking it apart to fix but had to stop.  I put all engine parts in the trunk for the time being.  The engine was pretty rusty and needs to be rebuilt by someone with more skill than myself.  All the parts that I have will be included with the vehicle.

This car is a great starting point for someone with the means and knowledge to rebuild it or use for a parts car to finish there project!  Don't miss your chance to own a piece of classic American automobile history.

Please email me with any questions prior to the end of the auction.  The car is at my buddy's garage so if additional pictures are needed I will try to get them.  Winning bidder must make payment within 7 days of auction closing and $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction ending.  I will help coordinate with shipping but it is the sellers responsibility to handle the transport of this vehicle.

Thank you for looking and good luck!

Tesla leads and Infiniti bleeds in Consumer Reports' satisfaction survey

Mon, Feb 8 2021

According to Consumer Reports, Tesla owners are more likely to rave about their vehicles than any other brand. And we're not surprised — Tesla has performed very well in past customer satisfaction surveys, despite the fact that the electric cars themselves tend to have more problems than most other automobiles. Second place went to Lincoln, which interestingly had a higher cumulative score than Tesla in individual category measurements like comfort and storage space. Ram, a truck-only brand, rounded out the top three. The consumer-focused magazine bases its owner satisfaction score on responses to a very simple question: Would you buy this exact car again? The higher percentage of owners who answer "definitely yes" to that question, the higher the satisfaction score. Further breakdowns are scored for other parts of the ownership experience, which is why brands that rank poorly in Consumer Reports' own reliability charts — like Tesla and Lincoln, for example — can still earn top marks for satisfaction. The lowest-ranked brands for satisfaction are Cadillac, Nissan and Infiniti. Interestingly, Cadillac performed better than average in Driving and Comfort and middle-of-the-road in the In-Car Electronics and Cabin Storage, but like most other brands, scored poorly in Value. In fact, only Subaru, Mazda and Volkswagen scored better than average in Value. Nissan and especially Infiniti earned comparatively low marks across the board to go along with the bottom-of-the-barrel satisfaction score. Here's the full list of automakers from Consumer Reports' satisfaction survey, ranked in order from best to worst: Tesla Lincoln Ram Chrysler Subaru Hyundai Porsche Dodge Mazda Toyota Kia Mini BMW Ford Audi Honda Volvo Volkswagen Lexus Jeep GMC Chevrolet Mercedes-Benz Buick Cadillac Nissan Infiniti It's worth diving into the individual category scores in addition to the official finishing order for a full look at the results. For instance, despite the fact that automakers like Lincoln and Ford use similar infotainment systems, their In-Car Electronics scores don't quite match up. Also, some automakers have full lineups with multiple cars, trucks and SUVs while others offer just a couple of nameplates. Head on over to Consumer Reports for all the details.

Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes

Tue, 14 May 2013

When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.

Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Tue, Apr 30 2019

Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.
