Original miles, family owned 1964 Lincoln Continental purchased new by my parents and still in the family as of now. Other than exterior paint (re-painted about 20 years ago), rear interior carpet and trunk hinges, I believe this Lincoln to be all original and has been garaged its entire life. In my Dad's later years the car was driven a few miles here and there, other than that he kept it covered and started/running in the garage. The only negative thing I'm aware of is that in 2006 there was a small engine fire due to a leaking fuel pump and bad spark plug wire (both discovered my me). It would appear the fan blew gas down the driver side of the engine (which sits at a slant) where it found this wire (closest to the firewall) and ignited. When it burned it apparently affected mostly that and another spark plug wire, another hose, the accelerator spring and various vacuum hoses. From what I understand the car was not properly insured so a claim was never filed for repair and the car sat for a while before I was ever told about what happened. Through all that time the battery still held a charge, so when I finally got the chance I did all I knew to do (basic mechanics) with my brother and we got the car running again by repairing the fuel pump, all spark plug wires, plugs, etc.

Things that have been ultimately affected are the climate controls, accelerator spring/linkage and transmission shifting, which I'm told is likely the vacuum advance(?) but I'm not certain. I can tell you the car starts, runs very well and drives straight down the road in the little bit it's been driven. All gears engage and there is no slipping, although there is a lag in accelerating as the accelerator pedal needs to be depressed for about an inch before it will react. As you're driving, if the accelerator is released @ approx. 50 mph (or climbing), it will immediately down shift into the lower gear until you're just over that speed, then it stays in the higher gear. When coming to a stop it seems to down shift as it should. I believe the transmission is fine but does need a new seal on the pan as it leaks and I'm sure it's quite old. Also, a new oil pan is needed as the plug is stripped and a replacement will come with the car. Most of the exhaust appears near new as it was replaced prior to the fire, tires appear good (+ 80%), brakes seem fine.

From what I can tell all lights/electrical works, the radio just works ok & the clock does not work. The AC did not work prior to the fire, I assume it's in need of charge but is all connected as it should be. The front seat motors work but seems the forward/backward movement is off track. All windows seem to work except driver rear, door locks lock better than they unlock and I think the hose that releases the parking brake is loose/disconnected as I can hear air in that area...the manual release works fine. The seats were covered in the 70's so there is average wear/tear to all seats, headliner, dash, doors, etc. are near perfect.

All in all I would say in most need is the vacuum work. As for restoring, I'm sure the engine could use a good cleaning as well as the whole car could use a good detail. Other than that, I would say this is a restoral dream since it's already in such original question and needs little to get there.

Two sets of original keys, original manual, sales paperwork, original CA black & gold plates and custom car cover will come with car. I will post &/or send more pics as requested as well as any updates. I am able to assist in shipping scheduling.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 Â– in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.

Lincoln Continental prototype breaks down, requires a tow

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Sometimes, cars break. Sometimes, said cars happen to be prototypes covered in camouflage. And sometimes, spy photographers are on hand to capture the sad sight. Such is the case here, as our trusty long-lenses have captured images of a stricken Lincoln Continental getting a tow back the shop. It's not clear what happened with the wounded Continental, but its unfortunate breakdown has given us a great look at the car's sprawling glass roof. Like the current MKZ, it looks like the Conti's panoramic roof can slide back, although we doubt it will cover up any element of the rear window, like its smaller sibling. And unlike our previous round of spy photos, this latest gallery gives us a look at a rather substantial set of integrated exhaust tips (i.e. fakes that have been fitted directly to the rear bumper cover). We can also spy a bit of the interior, although it's nowhere near as good as our last round of images. These shots do, however, show off a full roll cage and a fire extinguisher, but we wouldn't count on those being offered with the production model. Their presence here, though, leads us to believe that the car in question is probably some kind of vehicle dynamics tester. Look for a full introduction of the all-new Continental next month, when it debuts at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:
