Up for sale is a 1964 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors. I bought this car with hopes of restoring it but I won't have the time or money to do it the way I want. My loss is your gain.
I bought this car from a private party in Rhode Island and in RI for vehicles this old you don't need a title so I DO NOT HAVE THE TITLE to go with the car. Please check your local laws as to properly titling this vehicle. I did have the VIN run in MA and it is not stolen or have anything against it.
The body on this car is super straight and the metal is in 90% condition. I went over the whole car and if it was hit or any bondo on it I couldn't find it! There are 4 areas on the body where it rotted through and I have pictured them. The spots with the rot would be very easy to fix and replace as they are on relatively flat areas. The door jams, engine compartment, roof and doors are near perfect with only very minor rust. There is also a small amount of rot in the trunk but not bad and easily replaced. Someone had sprayed the under carriage of the car a while back with undercoating that is just now starting to peel off. When I put it up on the lift there was only slight surface rust and no rot that I saw. When I bought the car there was no hood and I hadn't bought one yet so it does not have a hood. Also it will need a new trunk lid, the one that came with it was in ruff shape but I kept it and will be included with the car to use for parts.
The interior is in decent shape as seen in the pictures. The dash is in great shape with no cracks or tears and all the original components are still there. This car has not been canabalized! The seats have aged and the leather has cracked but is all there. The door panels are not on the door right now but all four are in the back seat. ALL CHROME TRIM is there, the only thing not in the picture are the headlight bezels but I do have them somewhere. ALL GLASS APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL and in good shape!
The only big down side to this car is the engine. It's the original engine and appears to have seized at some point. I had begun taking it apart to fix but had to stop. I put all engine parts in the trunk for the time being. The engine was pretty rusty and needs to be rebuilt by someone with more skill than myself. All the parts that I have will be included with the vehicle.
This car is a great starting point for someone with the means and knowledge to rebuild it or use for a parts car to finish there project! Don't miss your chance to own a piece of classic American automobile history.
Please email me with any questions prior to the end of the auction. The car is at my buddy's garage so if additional pictures are needed I will try to get them. Winning bidder must make payment within 7 days of auction closing and $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction ending. I will help coordinate with shipping but it is the sellers responsibility to handle the transport of this vehicle.
Thank you for looking and good luck!

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.
Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost
Thu, 05 Jun 2014As the first 2015 MKC crossovers slip into dealerships, Lincoln has confirmed power and fuel economy ratings for the compact crossover's optional 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine.
The new range-topping powerplant, thus far otherwise unavailable in the Blue Oval kingdom, will net a healthy 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque from 2,750 revs. Those figures represent gains of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft over earlier estimates, putting the handsome new compact CUV in the hunt with up-engined rivals from Audi and BMW. (A variant of the 2.3L will shortly find its way into the engine bay of the 2015 Ford Mustang, albeit with a number of key changes, including north-south orientation.)
In the MKC, the new engine will net 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it only loses a single mile per gallon in the city cycle versus the 240-hp, 270-lb-ft 2.0L EcoBoost model when fitted with all-wheel drive. Both engines rely on the same six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
