Solid California car!


430 V8 stock motor with Edelbrock Carb.  Removed from donor car with a believed only 117K miles on drive train

Factory A/C needs Freon at least

power seat, works but knob is broken

power door lock vacuum style (not working)

power windows, all go up and down tracks and gears re greased and oiled, some windows switches are finicky and need to be cleaned replaced or rebuilt. rear drivers window only goes up and down from rear door location.  like I said all window motors are good. power wind wings work too

power antenna works, AM radio does not.

Basics like speedo, dash gauges work as they should.

power trunk and top need to be serviced.  I have preformed a bypass test on all top parts, Although top and trunk do not currently work as they should, I can tell you honestly that The top pump motor is good, the hydraulic rams cyc work, the electric latch system works, the upper panel lift motor works too. So in other words it is likely that it will be a relay, or limit switch adjustment or replacement will most likely get this top working properly.  John Cashman travels 48 states fixing power tops on 1961-67 Lincoln Convertibles all year. John is Highly recommended (813) 390 1950 .

Brakes Seem to work well.  Just replaced Master cyc, both rear cyc, rear shoes,and front rubber hoses.

Glass and chrome.  All glass is good with one small chip in front windshield.  Interior chrome is in decent to good condition.  Chrome around front interior windshield is pitted (they all are), other wise interior chrome is pretty good for her age.  Exterior chrome is in good condition for her age.  Not show quality , but over all chrome is good, better than alot of Lincolns out there.

Tires and wheels, 265/35/22r tires with at least 60% tread left. Tires rub a little, smaller tires will be needed or inner wheel well lip corners would need to be cut trimmed to run these size of tires. Stock tires wheels and hub caps available instead of these wheels if wanted.

Body and rust.  Body is pretty straight, small dent on each front fender easy fix for any body man.  Drivers rear door replaced from different car.  As for as i can tell this car has the original paint with no known bondo on her (hard to find a rust free bondo free car).  NO rust rot, has surface rust here and there, but no rust holes or rot.  Solid frame too.

Brand new black canvas top and back window (expensive top).  New carpet kit too..

Clean California Car with Ca title and current registration too.

History and dependable?  So I just recently purchased this car.  She had been taking a nap since 1975.  When i got her she was missing a door and missing the drive train.  Since she was such a solid car I got a 1965 hardtop donor car for all needed running gear.  the donor car was a clean old man car in a recent wreck.  I was told that it had 117K original miles.  the speedo read 17k miles i am sure it turned over one time.  i do believe it is 117K miles on drive train.  Engine sounds good and healthy, no internal knocks or clunks.  Ideals nice, no excessive smoke, no major leeks known.  I just got her running, I have driven her around the block 10 or 12 times and once to the park.  I have driven her less than 50 miles, she seems ok.  Not sure we can call her a daily driver yet, but I do believe we are close to calling her a daily driver.  It would be reasonable to expect some basic maintenance and TLC here and there.

1965 Lincoln is the best year.  Lots of us Lincoln lovers believe 1965 is the best year.  It is the first year of front disk brakes, last year of cool body lines and one year only classy grill.  one of the first years to have the much needed leg room for rear passengers (1961-63 had little leg room).  Anyways only 3300 convertibles were made in 1965 , only about 500 total are currently registered in all of the USA .  So it is rare to find a decent 1965 convertible at a reasonable price. This may be your opportunity to own a sweet car and a cool peace of history.

Willing to work with you shipping company, but full payment is needed before your shipping company can pick her up.  You are welcome to fly into Sacramento to check or pick her up.  I may be willing to pick you up from the airport too.

Small deposit expected  immediately to hold your Lincoln .

I will do my best to answer any question.  Some what serious to serious people are welcome to call too.  Danny (916) 508 1306

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.

2015 Lincoln MKC

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Back in 2012, Lincoln claimed its comeback bid was finally underway with the new-for-2013 MKZ. But don't you believe them - the renaissance won't actually begin in earnest until the shapely compact crossover seen here reaches showrooms in big numbers. That's because while the four-door MKZ was indeed a proper step toward rebirth, the 2015 MKC is the first wholly conceived vehicle under Lincoln as a standalone brand, a move first announced back in 2012.
That's an important distinction, because Lincoln's newfound emancipation from Ford's design and development processes has given the struggling marque both the corporate wherewithal and the will to develop a more fully formed product. The four-wheeled result seen here is a surprisingly cohesive luxury CUV, one with significantly more aesthetic and dynamic separation from its Ford Escape sibling than the MKZ and its Fusion counterpart. Said another way, after flogging Lincoln's latest for hundreds of miles over canyon roads outside of Santa Barbara, we've come to understand that this is far from a re-grilled Dearborn special with luxury tinsel - it's a bona fide standalone product that readily displays the sort of clear differentiation seen in platform cousins like the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. It's the real deal.
