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!

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York

Sat, Apr 4 2015

Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus.

With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
