1966 Lincoln Continental Suicide Door Convertible on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
|
1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible Thank you for looking. This car is complete and unmodified, except for paint, with a clear title and 82,215 actual miles. Originally Dark Metallic Green, has since been painted Black. Included are the owners manual, 1 set of original keys, and 1 set of NOS key blanks. We purchased the car in May 1990 from someone in Ohio, and it had 70600 miles on the odometer. It has been a California car ever since, but being from Ohio, there is rust in the body, and Bondo filler too, although the previous owner told us there wasn't any rust. Contact me if you would like closer up pictures than what is here in the listing. So it will need paint and body work to be a show quality car, but not necessary to be driveable. To my knowledge, there are no rust holes in any of the floor pans either. We drove the car until 1993, and it has sat, covered, since then. It was parked because of needing a new Master Cylinder, and all the transmission seals need replacing too. Never found the time to work on the car, so it just sat. Now it is time to let it move on to someone who can put the time and care into it. The 462 engine starts easily and runs smooth. There is a small crack in the right side exhaust manifold. The gas in the tank is over 20 years old, so the gas tank will probably need cleaning. To start it every once in a while, I run a fuel line from the fuel pump to a gas can to use fresh gas. The transmission shifts smoothly too, but as mentioned above, needs all the seals and gaskets replaced. It runs good, but is not driveable as is. Twenty some years ago, all windows and window switches worked, except the rear door windows don't drop automatically when the rear doors are opened. Probably needs new relays. The trunk lid still works, and the top worked with only 1 relay bypass to get it to unlock. I have not tried the top since then due to the age of the material. Everything else worked at the time too, except the A/C compressor, which seems to be seized up. The top was torn in a wind storm since the pictures were taken, and has been taped up, no rain entered the interior. The framework for the top is in good condition. All weatherstripping needs replacing. The interior is basically in good shape. No holes in the seats, door panels or carpet, and all trim pieces are there. There is a small crack along the speaker grille in the dash pad, and the drivers side arm rest housing is cracked, so it hangs a bit off center. There is pitting in the dash panel chrome, and some of the other interior chrome. The clock still worked (20 years ago), as did the AM/FM Town & Country radio. All the glass is in good shape too, no cracks. All dash, warning, interior and exterior lights work. All exterior chrome trim pieces and emblems are there. The bumpers and door handles could use rechroming, but are in good shape otherwise. The right side windshield chrome trim is damaged, and a replacement trim piece is included. The front fender quarter panel peak crown trim pieces have screws holding them on in front. I am also including 2 replacement crown trim pieces. The front grille and headlight bezels are undamaged, as are the rear tail lights. A new exhaust system (pipes and mufflers) was put on in 1990, as were new Michelin radial tires, brake pads, shoes and wheel cylinders, shocks and tie rods. The carburator was also replaced then, belts and hoses, and the water pump was too. There is lots of tread left on the tires, but they are almost 24 years old, so would recommend only using the tires to transport the car. |

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
Lincoln reignites the Navigator with bold concept
Wed, Mar 23 2016The Lincoln Navigator's demise has been greatly exaggerated, and nearly 20 years after it first revolutionized the luxury segment, a new generation of the iconic sport-utility vehicle will again point the way forward for the brand. Previewed by a concept at the New York Auto Show, the new Navigator will hit showrooms next year joining the much-anticipated Continental sedan as Lincoln's twin flagships. The concept is "a very strong" hint of what the production Navigator will look like, Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. He's referring to the general appearance of the tall concept, which is confident, creased, and a bit reminiscent of a Range Rover. There are huge wheels, lots of chrome, and "Navigator" spelled out in blocked capital letters over the fender vents. It runs a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making 400 horsepower and will ride on a new chassis, though Galhotra wouldn't offer more details. Oh, and it has gullwing doors. The crowd audibly oohed and aahed when that feature was demonstrated at a preview event in New York, but those are purely for show. They won't be on the production model, Galhotra said, and they're meant to demonstrate the spacious cabin. "The nature of the vehicle is very important ... and it's a great way to showcase that interior," he said. The inside of the concept is an interesting place. It has a rear cargo area that doubles as a closet, complete with shelves that make up a wardrobe management system, and there's a rail running down the middle of the passenger area. A multi-level running board cascades forward when the gullwing doors open, and the six seats are adjustable 30 ways. There are also wifi-equipped touchscreen monitors mounted in the seat backs. Inside and out, the Navigator carries a nautical vibe. It's covered in a soft shade of blue paint, while the interior has blue leather and teak accents. The Navigator concept features some of Ford's semi-autonomous technology, including pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection. The radar-and-camera-based system will look for obstacles in the vehicle's path, warn the driver, and then brake if needed. It also has a 360-degree camera and lane-keeping assist. Look for all of this on the production model. Launched in 1997, the Navigator is one of the original all-American large luxury SUVs – the Cadillac Escalade didn't arrive until 1999.
