1966 Lincoln Continental Base 7.6l Classic Deserves Restoration Great Car on 2040-cars
Cope, South Carolina, United States
|
This classic Lincoln is in great restoration shape. There is NO rust underneath this car. I drive a 67 daily and have a true love for old Lincolns. I ran across this car and when I discovered the condition she is in I brought her home. I do not have the time or money to restore her to her glory. There are a few rust bubbles on the quarter panel and on top and that is it. The engine purred like a kitten when I put a battery in. This car is a hobbyist dream. I have only driven it around in my yard. The suspension seems tight. I do not know how it will do on the road. I am sure that whoever purchases will want to go through everything to restore it to the condition that it deserves. The door panels are perfect except for the fact that some idiot cut holes in them for speakers years ago. The front seat has been recovered and is in great shape but the back seat will need some tlc. The carpet is in ok condition. The glass is in good shape. I don't know a lot about this car I just rescued for the next person to take to the next level.
Car is for available for inspection in the midlands of SC. Do not ask can you come and drive this car home it will need to be shipped as it has been sitting for over 25 years. |

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
