1961 Lincoln Continental, Suicide Doors, 61, Lincoln, Classic, White. on 2040-cars

Here's all original 61 Lincoln Continental. The car runs and drives great, but it is a project and will need work.
Problem area's: The car does have rust in the typical locations on these cars, lower doglegs, underneath chrome trim, random spots, and on the trunk lid. Underbody is solid though. The interior needs to be reupholstered , mainly the dash, back seats, headliner and carpeting and lower edge of the door carpeting. There's chrome pitting, and the front lip above the grill needs to be repaired as somebody before me must of bondoed it thats why you cracking there in the pictures. There's a few dents here and there, but nothing serious, some scratches on the chrome trim, grill and bumpers, and small dents on the stainless mouldings. Power Door locks don't work because of a vacuum leak somewhere. Radio, HVAC does not work, I have the A/C compressor, hoses and the condenser is in storage. There's a lot of steering play, so the steering linkage will need to be rebuilt, including some suspension work. 2 of the power windows do work, the driver side and right rear passenger side. There's an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold, and some engine blowby, oil leaks, but the car runs strong and idles smooth. Horns don't work, possibly a wiring issue, but I have them in storage as well. Tires are old. The Positives Carb was rebuilt several years ago, new upper control arm bushings, new front and rear shocks, new front brake shoe's and wheel cylinders. Cap and Rotor is good. Electronic ignition ( no points), good starter motor. The car originally came with a generator but was converted to an Alternator. Serviced transmission. The car brakes strong. I installed Cherry Bomb Glasspacks so the car has a nice throaty growl to it. I also have extra spare parts I'll pitch in. ( radiator expansion tanks, exterior quarter panel Continental script, window switches, original window washer bag with the Continental logo, Continental Script that glues onto the glove box, brand new U-Joint, and original owners manual). The Lincoln runs well, it does smell like fumes however because of the blowby, but everything is there and the car is in decent shape considering the flaws. |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
