This car is Amazing!
This 1966 Lincoln Continental has been brought back to life, Professionally.
The car sat for 20 years in a storage unit, the owners son would start it once a month, I was lucky to find it and get te car back to its original specifications:
Engine:
The 462 makes NO noise, The exhaust manifolds on both sides are whisper quite.
What we did to the car:
New radiator and expansion tank
New water pump, new Timing set, and had the power steering pump rebuilt. New fuel pump and fule pump rod. The carb was rebuilt and all new belts. The AC has a new pump and blows ICE cold
The Transmission was completely rebuildt... Shifts smooth
The suspension: New upper and lower ball Joints, New controll arm bushings; Center Link and new shocks.
The rear shocks and new tires all around.
Interior: Nothing was done but a cleaning. notice the Red leather seat, with power seats that work. The dash pad has no cracks..usually near the front speaker there is a crack... not on this car.
The AM/FM Town and Country radio was rebuilt. It seeks, goes to AM and Fm with no issues at all, and the sound is very good. The original owner has an 8 track player ( dealer installed) with 4 speakers. the 8 Track is NOT working, instead, under the seat is an amp so you can plug in your I pod and listen to your favorite music. The original sisze speakers were installed, nothing cut up to add big speakers
Turn the key and within a millisecond, the car comes to life. Doing 80 MPH, feels like your not moving, quite and comfort is what this lincoln is all about.
Options on this car:
AM/FM Town & country radio (Works perfect)
Power vent windows ( work, along with all the other windows)
Cruise Control ( it lights up, but does NOT work)
AC..is Ice cold
Power Unlock trunk works
All lights work perfect
Paint. We did have it repainted, all chrome and stainless was removed, the car was a Light blue, we went with Black.
The front Bumper has some small dents,so the bumper was sent out, all dents removed and re chromed

Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls
Wed, Oct 28 2015Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.

Bentley designer calls Lincoln Continental concept a Flying Spur 'copy' [w/poll]
Tue, Mar 31 2015When you first laid eyes on the new Lincoln Continental concept, we'd wager you were likely impressed, because it's an impressive design. But if you also thought it looked familiar, you're in good company. According to Car Design News, design chief Luc Donckerwolke over at Bentley thinks the Lincoln concept bears more than a passing resemblance to another Continental: Bentley's own Flying Spur. "This behavior is not respectable. Building a copy like this is giving a bad name to the car design world," Donckerwolke told CDN, after posting some disparaging comments on Facebook and offering in jest to send over the tooling. "It is very disappointing, especially for an exclusive brand like Lincoln," added Sangyup Lee, his deputy for exterior design. The irony is further entrenched by the name, which Bentley only dropped from its Flying Spur in its latest iteration but still uses for the coupe and convertible models. Both automakers have a deeply routed history with the nameplate, but Lincoln's stretches back further, having first used the handle in 1939 before Bentley did in 1952. However it's not the nameplate that's the subject of controversy here, rather the design of the vehicle to which it's applied. So what do you think, did Lincoln borrow too heavily from its British counterpart? Related Video:
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
