1966 Lincoln Continental Base 7.6l on 2040-cars
Cornelius, North Carolina, United States
This car is bad ass and turns some serious heads. It has a new battery, Fuel tank, brake lines, brake pads, wheel cylinders, light bulbs, wheel adapters and starter. Newer ball joints, shocks and all new steering components. It has 20" wheels with brand new tires (20 miles). Rear Gabriel Air shocks. I just repainted it in Valspar satin black and I am in the process of slowly assembling this back together. It had no rust on it. The motor runs perfect with its 462 Lincoln/Edsel motor that has 85k on it. This motor was made for 2 years and runs really good. Runs really smooth. I pulled the transmission out just to inspect it to find out it was already rebuilt. While it was out I replaced the front pump seals and front pump bushing as it had a small leak. No More leaks. Shifts nice and smooth. After 1966 the DOT required all cars to be equipped with a dual reservoir master brake cylinder so while going through the brakes I upgraded it to a new dual reservoir MC. It has new plugs, wires cap and rotor. All chrome is in great shape except two top trim pieces. I have not put them on yet. I may use 3m flexible chrome and let the new owner send it out for repair. I have all new clips to put in on when its repaired. The interior is in original conditions and in pretty good shape. It is kind of a goldish, green but I left it original for someone else to change if they want. I like the old look inside. Putting in a fully blue tooth run stereo system so I can leave the original radio in and keep everything wireless. It has all the components for the AC but it is not charged and the belt is off..............These cars are EXTREMELY expensive to restore and they were leaps and bounds ahead of all competition in the day with technology and when done nice they sell through classic car distributers from 25-30k. I wanted this to look cool instead of like an old man car but it is a matching numbers car for a collector who may want fully restore it.. I have about 15k into this car already. Come get it before my wife refuses to let me sell it.(Bet you never heard that before) This will be going to Street side classics and sold for a premium on the international market in the next two weeks. Please inquire if you are serious and test rides will be given to people with cash in hand. Clear NC title Will accept all reasonable offers.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards
Tue, 17 Jun 2014In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.
Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
