Cape Coral, Florida, United States

This is a true barn find! This car was originally a California car, no rest, extremely solid chassis. Car was purchased by a Michigan collector in the late 70's and has spent the last 30+ years stored with his collection. It was purchased by the current owner and transported to SW Florida where a painstaking mechanical restoration was performed over a 6 month period. The body, paint, and interior appears as we purchased it. At some point in the past the exterior color was changed to the current Black as seen. This car shows and drives excellent. It does have some dings and scratches (minor) as any 48 year old vehicle should have. The current owner has taken the time to make sure all mechanical items were of sound condition and could be driven now as a daily driver. The following items have been replaced, rebuilt, or refurbished: Original 462 C1 V-8 has had new heads including valve job, manifolds and water pump replaced. Fuel system has been epoxy coated with new fuel lines and new Elderbrock carburetor, mechanical fuel pump as well as aux, electric fuel pump installed. Brake system has had complete brake job, rebuild of all components including front calibers. Single stage master cylinder has been replaced with duel stage including proportioning valve and new brake lines. Brake booster has also been replaced. Steering has had the steering box rebuilt and resealed including new power steering lines. Suspension has had ball joints and pitman replaced. Exhaust system has been replaced with a custom 2 1/2" dual Flowmaster system (this sounds great!) Electrical systems include many new switches, starter, wiring and horns etc. Air conditioning system has been gone through and blows ice cold. New 20" Boss wheels with new rubber as shown in photo's (original wheels and hub caps). This car is fully equipped and fun to drive. Options included on the vehicle, PW Steering, Brakes, Automatic, Power windows, Power locks (non functioning), 6 way Power seat, AC, intermittent wipers, Original AM Stereo 8 track, Power antenna (still works!). This car is amazing to drive and gets looks wherever it goes. A real conversation piece!

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Oct 2014You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
