1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States
If you are looking for a gorgeous,rare and unique collector Lincoln convertible this is it with it's new Teal paint and new leather Aqua/White interior. This is 1 of only 9 built that had this combination of Teal paint exterior and Aqua interior which is very striking and beautiful. We've had so many people mention how much they love the color.This car is also loaded with options including the rare one year only option of power passenger headrest and reclining seat (see picture)...very cool! It also has the Town & Country AM/FM radio with the floor foot pedal for station seek. Another fun and cool feature that everyone loves which was not an original option is the period correct Sears CB Radio that actually works which is mounted in the front center (see picture). This is where the optional 8 Track mounts but was removed to accommodate the CB. I have the original 8 track with some tapes that go with the car(see picture). The detailed information on this car came from the Marti Report which I purchased. This is a report from actual Ford records that will come with the car (see picture) and goes into production detail. It also says it was sold on New Year's 1966. Below is a list of some of the options:
There is also chrome side molding that I was told was a rare dealer option. Below is a list of some of the thousands of $ of work that has been done to make this a reliable driving and fun collectible. Almost all of this work within the last year.
This beauty starts right up and runs great. Transmission works properly as do the brakes. The top goes through all of it's functions properly and both the inside top switch and outside rear top switch will operate the new top up and down. All of the windows work. I also had the rear window drop-down function fixed on both sides. This function actuates when either of the rear doors are opened and is important to the top, doors and windows working correctly. I have video of the rear windows properly dropping down as well as video of the top working which is on you tube but not allowed on ebay. Please let me know if you would like to see them. Mileage says around 40,000. but I cannot verify if accurate or not. Another extremely important consideration in purchasing a 60s Lincoln convertible is whether or not it has any rust. Most I looked at did in fact have several areas of rust which is extremely expensive to fix. This however is a clean Florida car. Look at the pictures showing the entire bottom of the car...solid...solid...solid! Again just about everything works on this car. There is a crack in the dash by the speaker which is true of most of these. The chrome is driver quality and the stainless trim in good condition. Most of the rubber is decent and have new trunk seal and bumper to body seal that go with the car. I would rate this car as a higher end driver but has additional added value with it's special uniqueness and the fact that it is loaded with almost every option available. This one is a real attention getter with people wanting to take pictures constantly. The value of this car is estimated around the $30,000. range according to a Lincoln expert that looked at it for me. My reserve is very much lower than that as I need to sell at this time. The 1967 was the last year for the convertible Lincoln and the 67's of which only a little over 2,700 were built has led to these jumping in value over the last few years according to the Haggerty Report and others.. These have a lot more options than earlier models and the preferable glass rear window. Also included is an original color sales brochure, original owners manual and shop manual (see picture) and the original build sheet that was behind the back seat (see picture). *Please feel free to email with questions and to setup an inspection of the car. Inspections must take place before bidding not after. If you do not personally inspect the car or have someone inspect it on your behalf then you must agree to positive feedback. I say this because although I try to disclose everything to my knowledge concerning condition of the car my opinion may differ from yours on certain issues. If you do not perform due diligence on this or any other vehicle then it would be totally unfair for you to leave negative feedback and ruin my rating because you disagree with something you should have been aware of before your purchase by having it inspected to your satisfaction or not. If you are a serious bidder I will send you my phone number to answer any other questions you may have. TERMS: I have the right to cancel any bids with fewer than 10 feedback's. If you do please contact me so I can do my best to determine if you are a serious bidder. Upon meeting the reserve, bidders must contact me by message or phone and demonstrate a serious intent to purchase. If I don't hear from you within a 12 hour period from your bid then I reserve the right to cancel your bid. Please do not bid at all unless you are a serious buyer with the wherewithal to complete the deal. All sales are final. The vehicle is sold as is, where is! Car is advertised locally and I reserve the right to close auction down at any time. This car will not be released until all funds are cleared. Deposits are not refundable. Overseas bidders are welcome....I will help the transport truck load your car.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
2016 Lincoln MKX images and details hit the web
Sat, Jan 10 2015Well, what do we have here? In what we're assuming is an accidental leak, a live URL from Lincoln Canada has been brought to our attention, and it's chock full of information on a new 2016 Lincoln MKX that we figure will most likely see an introduction at the Detroit Auto Show right around the corner. "Inspired by airplane design," says Lincoln, we see a good bit of the smaller MKC in the design of the next MKX, and that's a good thing. We note HID lights with LED accents, a Panoramic Vista Roof, a hands-free power liftgate and a 360-degree camera mounted behind the front Lincoln emblem as tasty exterior details to look forward to. Inside is what appears to be a pretty darn beautiful cabin, with available Bridge of Weir leather seats with optional heating and cooling, plus 22-way adjustability. Open-pore wood in either walnut swirl of olive ash looks classy, and the newly available Revel audio with 13 or optionally 19 speakers ought to work well with the car's active noise control to provide a serene driving experience. We're not entirely sure what infotainment system the 2016 Lincoln MKX will boast, but the images appear to show a version of the much-maligned MyLincoln Touch interface, and not the upcoming Sync 3, although at least there is more physical switchgear for the HVAC, as on the MKC. As far as the vehicle's engine and chassis, we see mention of an available twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost, but there's no power rating just yet – we know it will be more than 300 horsepower, but how much more is still unknown. There's no mention of the 2016 MKX's transmission, which makes us think it will probably offer the same six-speed unit as the Ford Edge. On the plus side, there will be adaptive steering to go along with three driving modes – Normal, Comfort and Sport. Lincoln Drive Control with continuously controlled damping also sounds beneficial. That's all we know so far, but we're looking forward to getting all the details, hopefully in just a few days, since the vehicle is said to be hitting showrooms in the summer of 2015. In the meantime, check out the image gallery above, and feel free to read a lengthy discussion about the leak at the FordInsideNews.com forum.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
