Rochester, New York, United States
Please message me with questions at: donadppomerantz@spursfans.com .
We are proud to offer for sale a rare 1966 Lincoln 4 Door Convertible VIN # 6Y86G413847, one of a limited
production run of 3180 produced in 1966. We acquired this car in April of 2010. This car has been in restoration
for almost 6 years, the car was recently completed and just this June Bakers Auto of CT went over the whole car and
made all the necessary repairs to make sure this is a reliable and truly original 66 Lincoln. It took us months to
find the correct car and this vehicle was a clean rust free, complete car with original paint and no prior body
work. We have restored this car to its original condition; only a few small things have been upgraded like the
brake master cylinder, AC converted to R134A, Dynamat added to the floor panel, and exterior color changed to
black; otherwise this car is completely original. No expense was spared to use NOS or rebuilt parts to keep the
cars originality and to make sure it drives and works like new, just like it was in 1966. All original parts were
saved and will be passed on to the new owner. This was not a frame off restoration but came very close to it.
Please review all the pictures and you will observe that the engine and transmission were removed and parts around
them were sand blasted and coated in either paint or POR-15 to protect the chassis and frame cross members from
rust. The only sheet metal part that had to be cut off and replaced was the battery tray; for some odd reason Ford
used cheap metal to make the trays therefore they always have to be replaced. At this time the vehicle has been
driven over 800 miles since it was put together. Each mile driven was used to make adjustments and fine tune it,
Bakers Auto put on about 150 miles while testing driving the car. We are confident to say that this car can be
driven cross-country without any hesitation; we did 250 mile just to bring the car back from Bakers Auto no issues
at all. Below we will do our best to make a list of parts and work done to the vehicle. The car is painted in
Global PPG Color BMW black sapphire metallic 475. The clear is a PPG DELTRON 4000 the car has four coats all
around. The interior is done in white leather with black piping; the carpet is made by Jim Wallace of Leather
Restorations in Florida the only company making an exact carpet specifically made for this car and has a the
original rubber padding with the Lincoln logo like the car had when new. The top is also made by Jim Wallace and is
an exact replica of the factory top with padding to hide the wires. The top received all brand new
weather-stripping; it took over 6 months to receive the handmade parts and the top weather stripping kit alone
costs over $4K. The entire top and window electronics work like new: all of the window switches have been replaced
and all new window motors installed. The rear windows roll down half way when you open the doors and roll up when
the doors are closed. All of the hydraulic top motors were replaced, with brand new parts. All of the rubber
moldings and padding all around the car are brand new. Over $8k has been spent just on the weather stripping. The
engine was rebuilt by Complete Engine Rebuilding in NY in 2013. The transmission was rebuilt in July of 2015 by
Dolphin Transmissions of NY. We supplied a complete Fatsco rebuilt kit so everything including the valve body was
replaced. The cooling system is all brand new including the radiator, expansion tanks and all the hoses. The fuel
system was completely rebuild with new filter and most of the lines replaced. The carburetor was rebuild using all
original parts by J.C. Carburetor of NY, the fuel pump was rebuild by Bakers Auto in CT and the Fuel Tank by
Liberty Auto In NY. The AC system has been updated to R134A: every part from the condenser, AC compressor, hoses,
expansion valves are brand new; the only rebuilt part is the evaporator. Just this June Bakers tested the AC
system. The rear leaf springs and the suspension were rebuilt as well using all new bushings, shocks and bolts; all
parts were provided by Bakers Auto and the work was done by Long Life Auto Spring in NY. The front end is
completely new: most parts were brand new NOS; the calipers and the control arms we rebuilt since no replacements
are available. The brake system has all brand new lines, the brake booster was updated. Bakers adjusted and
replaced some parts just this June. The power steering system has been rebuilt with all new hoses and filters the
system was checked over and tested by Bakers in June. The exhaust system is Stainless Steel and is completely new
with new headers. The wheels were all sandblasted and powder coated in black to match the car. The tires were put
on this June, Coker Tires brand American Classic 235/75/15 white walls brand new with less than 200 miles on them;
we added the warranty from Coker that will pass on to the new owner . The spare wheel was also repaired and
sandblasted in the grey original factory color; a brand new tire for the spare wheel installed. The trunk has a
brand new upholstery kit also manufactured by Jim Wallace. All of the chrome and steel parts were sent out to S & H
Chrome Refinishing in Tennessee: we have over $16K in re-chromed parts. We are confident we have not mentioned even
half the improvement and restoration work that was done on this vehicle. If you have any questions about a
particular part or how certain repair was completed, we have documented the process and can answer any questions
and address all concerns. The receipts for labor and parts add up to much more than what we are asking for the car
but at this time we must let this one go…

Lincoln Aviator vs Cadillac XT6 | How they compare on paper
Thu, Sep 5 2019There have been big, three-row family crossovers for quite a while now, but until recently the luxury market hasn't fully embraced them. Sure, you could literally get one with a third row, but unless you were a kid, chances are the term "dungeon-like" was going to be tossed around. Things are changing now, however, as new and redesigned entries are starting to hit the market. We've recently had a chance to get our first drives of the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and 2020 Cadillac XT6, two all-new three-row crossovers from American luxury brands. We also got a turn behind the wheel of the updated 2020 Volvo XC90. However, since none of our editors have yet to drive to drive them all, we wanted to see how they compare on paper, examining their engine specs and interior dimensions. We also included the 2020 Acura MDX, the original three-row luxury crossover, which continues to sell well despite approaching the end of its current generation. That it offers a hybrid model makes it that much more applicable given the Aviator and XC90 also offer gasoline-electric powertrains, albeit of the plug-in variety. 3 Row Luxury Crossovers Powertrains View 1 Photos Non-hybrid MDX has a 5,000-pound max tow rating. How do their performance and fuel economy compare? This one is absolutely no contest. The 400-horsepower Lincoln blows away its competitors despite having a price tag that's similar to the 310-horsepower Cadillac and in between the XC90's T5 and T6 models. At least the Acura is considerably cheaper. Besides the eye-popping output, the estimated 0-60-mph time of 5.5 seconds (gleaned from the mechanically similar Ford Explorer ST) is appreciably quicker than the others. Now, fuel economy is a bit lower, but the efficiency of Volvo's four-cylinder engines are likely more susceptible to varying due to driver differences. It should also be noted that the Cadillac gets the same combined fuel economy estimate as the Aviator despite having 90 fewer horses and 144 fewer pound-feet of torque. Just one of the ways where the XT6's prospects dim in the presence of its cross-Michigan rival. The Cadillac is also not available as a hybrid model. The others are, but are disparate. The Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring and Volvo XC90 T8 are similar in concept: range-topping models that are as much about adding performance as they are fuel economy. Their hefty price tags certainly reflect that as well.
Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
Thu, 25 Apr 2013If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.
Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now
Sat, Jan 17 2015The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
