This is a two tone Mark ll, one of 16, with maybe 3 originals left, Dark Bronze roof, Light bronze lower. This car is at least 80% there. The frame is bad. Listed below is what the winning bid receives.
This car has a nice body for being 57 years old.
The front floor pans have already been replaced.
Exhaust in the car is very solid.
A good radio core with the KNOBS to use for a conversion to am/fm.
A real nice instrument cluster, with working gauges.
Power seat motors, front door window motors.
The rear seat can be dyed and reused, the front will have to be redone.
Passenger side rocker molding is in decent shape, And you will get a NOS driver side rocker with the car. [$700 value]
Hood chrome trim is very nice shape.
Front and rear bumpers clean up real nice and are good driver quality.
Both taillight assby are there, and the hinges are in good shape on the fuel tank side.
The car has tinted glass, all good, but it is a non a/c car.
It come with a good set of hood hinges, no slop or worn out.
The grill will clean up nice, and the center bar is perfect, no dents or cracks. [$350 value]
Now a description of the engine and rolling frame.
The frame had 2 SMALL bad spots that I repaired with heavy steel patches. Then gave a quick coat of black paint so it would not get surface rust.
The engine is a 57,000 mile engine with no leaks, no taps, no smoke, no gunk build up inside. This motor needs nothing, it sounds great. This motor came from another Mark ll. I drove the car before I cut it up. The carb may need rebuilt, as it has been sitting in my shop for 3 years, and the gaskets may have dried up.
The transmission from the same car. It shifts smooth, with no leaks.
Rear brakes are on the frame, front ones need to be switches from the donor car to the rolling frame.
After you make the switch to the good frame, you will have a lot of parts that are extra, or you could sell. There is a complete suspension and a rebuilt trans in the donor car.
Parts I know you will need to finish. Vent window motors, quarter window motors, door locks. I THINK I have a outside mirror and a trunk medallion, that you could get rechromed, again, I THINK!
Please do not ask what the reserve is, bid what it is worth to you. I will try to answer all your questions asap.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
