1964 Lincoln Convertible on 2040-cars
Dearborn, Michigan, United States
|
Car has been in dry storage for about 43 years. A friend of the family bought the car from the original owner in 1968 ( have cancelled title) and drove the car until about 1971 when he had an issue with the car not starting by the key. He put the car in a dry garage and did not get the time to fix it. After he passed away, my father bought the car from the family around 1994 and again put it in dry storage. . Car has 34,628 miles as shown on the odometer, (see photo), and to my knowledge are original. My father attempted to fix the
ignition issue by replacing the ignition key cylinder, the starter solenoid,
plugs, points and condenser which did not resolve the issue. He left the car
that way as he had other things going on. That is why the cluster face,
glovebox and a few other small items associated to that attempt at
fixing are not installed. (seen in photo). He put all fasteners/parts in
plastic bags and a box then stored them in the car. Car has been started several times over the years we have owned it by turning the ignition switch on, jumping the starter solenoid and hooking up a fuel line to a gas can. The car runs very well. Transmission operates also. Coolant and oil have been drained, new coolant, oil and filter were installed two times, once when bought and once several months ago. The car was brought out for photos for this ad, put on stands, started and ran for about a half hour with no issue. (as seen on stands in photo). Car has not been driven as the brakes do not function from sitting so long. Car does roll freely. The windows operate except for the drivers door. Glass is good. Power antenna operates, seat works. The power top did work when first purchased but does not as of now. There is no evidence of leaky/faulty pumps/actuators. Top is in nice condition. There is a little filler at the left side rear wheel well and at the right wheel wells, applied by the previous owner (example seen in photo). There is a very small rust through at left rear quarter at bottom by rear bumper. Otherwise the body and underside do not appear to have any rust through. No obvious dents. The underside looks to have been undercoated. Interior is very nice with minimal wear. Bumpers, grille, stainless are all there and not damaged. No sign/s of previous accident damage/repaint. The car has not been abused. I feel the car would be an easy restore or custom, but
that is my opinion. The background information is to the best of my
knowledge/memory. Both persons are no longer alive. Please, contact me ONLY if you are serious about
the transaction and have the funds available to purchase. Do not waste my time
or yours. Thank you. Please inspect the photos well. If you have any
questions, please CALL ONLY. NO TEXTS. I can be reached between 8 am and 6 pm,
Michigan time please. You are welcome to schedule a time to see the car. I will
do my best to answer your questions. My number is 313-231-0283. Title is free
and clear. DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING, NO SPAMMERS/SCAMMERS/CHECK CASHERS/TIME WASTERS...........don't even think about it! Thank you! |

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
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.
Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014The 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.
