1962 Lincoln Continental 429 Engine Swap on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
This is a custom car with a 429ci (same block as a 460) motor and
transmission out of a 1969 Thunderbird. I have lost interest and need
the space for other projects. The body is very clean with minimal rust
on the rear fender. Floors and truck pans are original and solid, it is
an original west Texas car. The original power drum brakes have been
completely rebuilt. All front bushings, ball joints and steering
linkage components have been replaced. Interior has been redone and is
super clean. The engine has been rebuilt, about 300 miles, and have
receipts of lots of good and forged parts.
Choppy Comp cam and Flowmaster exhaust, doesn't sound like your typical Lincoln. H-beam rods, studded heads and main caps with windage tray, ported c8ve heads with hardened valve seats, roller rockers, edelbrock air gap intake, quick fuel 750 cfm double pumper carb, forged pistons, 11:1 compression, custom made headers, msd distributor and 6al box, C6 automatic transmission with 2000 rpm stall and a custom aluminum drive-shaft. The car is a project that isn't complete. The c6 transmission leaks out of the front pump seal and the car needs a better cooling system, it runs warm when it is hot outside. The hood will have to be modified to fit over the engine, but I have two of them. The passenger rear window doesn't work, the power seat works but doesn't move the seat, there is no speedo cable and the windshield is cracked. Other minor things need to be connected or done that I cannot remember at this time. This is a super cool car that turns heads every time I drive it. Rides smooth and is fairly quick for a 5000 lbs. car. Please call with any questions five one two 669 zero 8 zero 6. I have the title in my name.

SNL, Jim Carrey late to the Lincoln MKC ad spoof party
Mon, 27 Oct 2014At this point, making fun of the Lincoln MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey is getting pretty old, though apparently Lincoln loves it. The commercials have been airing for over a month, but Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and even South Park have all taken their swipes at the spots with the smooth-talking actor monologuing about his new luxury crossover. Saturday Night Live might have finally killed the joke in its recent episode featuring Jim Carrey.
The problem certainly isn't that Carrey does a bad job in the spoofs, and he actually pulls off a pretty good McConaughey impression. They start out as pretty direct mimicry and slowly evolve into the absurd, including cracks at McConaughey's acting career and the way he rubs his thumb and finger together. Carrey certainly raises at least a chuckle at times, though.
However, the comedian's engaging performance can't take away from the fact that SNL has arriving to this mocking party pretty late in the game. The jokes just don't feel fresh anymore, so hopefully these ads put the final nails in the coffin for the riffs - at least until the next batch of Lincoln ads arrive.
Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion
Thu, 11 Sep 2014We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Sun, 02 Dec 2012Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.
