1964 Lincoln Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:34628
Location:

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

Car has been in dry storage for about 43 years. A friend of the family bought the car from the original owner in 1968 ( have cancelled title) and drove the car until about 1971 when he had an issue with the car not starting by the key.  He put the car in a dry garage and did not get the time to fix it. After he passed away, my father bought the car from the family around 1994 and again put it in dry storage. . Car has 34,628 miles as shown on the odometer, (see photo), and to my knowledge are original.

My father attempted to fix the ignition issue by replacing the ignition key cylinder, the starter solenoid, plugs, points and condenser which did not resolve the issue. He left the car that way as he had other things going on. That is why the cluster face, glovebox and a few other small items associated to that attempt at fixing are not installed. (seen in photo). He put all fasteners/parts in plastic bags and a box then stored them in the car.

Car has been started several times over the years we have owned it by turning the ignition switch on, jumping the starter solenoid and hooking up a fuel line to a gas can. The car runs very well. Transmission operates also. Coolant and oil have been drained, new coolant, oil and filter were installed two times, once when bought and once several months ago. The car was brought out for photos for this ad, put on stands, started and ran for about a half hour with no issue. (as seen on stands in photo). Car has not been driven as the brakes do not function from sitting so long. Car does roll freely. The windows operate except for the drivers door. Glass is good. Power antenna operates, seat works. 

The power top did work when first purchased but does not as of now. There is no evidence of leaky/faulty pumps/actuators. Top is in nice condition. There is a little filler at the left side rear wheel well and at the right wheel wells, applied by the previous owner (example seen  in photo). There is a very small rust through at left rear quarter at bottom by rear bumper. Otherwise the body and underside do not appear to have any rust through. No obvious dents. The underside looks to have been undercoated. Interior is very nice with minimal wear. Bumpers, grille, stainless are all there and not damaged. No sign/s of previous accident damage/repaint. The car has not been abused.

I feel the car would be an easy restore or custom, but that is my opinion. 

The background information is to the best of my knowledge/memory. Both persons are no longer alive.

Please, contact me ONLY if you are serious about the transaction and have the funds available to purchase. Do not waste my time or yours. Thank you.

Please inspect the photos well. 

If you have any questions, please CALL ONLY. NO TEXTS. I can be reached between 8 am and 6 pm, Michigan time please. You are welcome to schedule a time to see the car. I will do my best to answer your questions. My number is 313-231-0283. Title is free and clear.

Car is sold as is. 

DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING, NO SPAMMERS/SCAMMERS/CHECK CASHERS/TIME WASTERS...........don't even think about it! Thank you!

Ford investing $5B in Lincoln

Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes

Tue, 14 May 2013

When 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.

2015 Lincoln MKC priced from $33,995* [w/poll]

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

Looking to build on the momentum it struggled to establish with the MKZ, Lincoln recently unveiled the production version of its all-new MKC last month at the LA Auto Show. With a proven platform shared with the Ford Escape and striking design, the 2015 Lincoln MKC goes on sale next summer ready to take on the ever-expanding world of luxury compact crossovers. Breaking into this new segment, Lincoln has priced the MKC aggressively as one of the least-expensive offerings in its class, starting at $33,995 (*including destination charges).
At that price, the 2015 MKC costs a little bit more than a fully loaded 2014 Ford Escape Titanium and is just slightly less costly than the Acura RDX and Volvo XC60. More importantly, it's thousands less than Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK-Class. The MKC will be offered in three trim levels for now - there is still no more information about Lincoln's new Black Label products - ranging from the base Premiere up to the range-topping Reserve.
The Premiere will come standard with features like active grille shutters, push-button start, remote start, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats, while the midgrade Select starts at $37,225 and adds upgraded 18-inch wheels, ambient lighting, daytime running lights and a steering wheel featuring Wollsdorf leather. The top-shelf Reserve trim level starts at $40,930 and brings even more luxury features including the panoramic roof, navigation, cooled front seats and wifi access.
