1966 Lincoln Continental Base 7.6l Rare Original Survivor on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States
|
This is a beautiful example of a mostly original and rare 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This car has had one repaint in it's life and it looks new and factory quality. The original interior is in amazing shape for it's age. This originality of the interior is very desired and adds to the character of the vehicle. One of the most important considerations when purchasing these Lincoln convertibles is the body condition. First this is a rust free car and secondly it is razor straight with a top quality paint job. (There is one door that was fixed and re-sprayed due to a garage ding that is slightly off color but that's it.) This car was garage kept it's whole life as evidenced by the fact that the interior is in such great original shape and the dash has no cracks which is extremely rare on these cars. The '60s Lincoln Convertible master and guru (John Cashman) completely went through this beauty restoring the entire complicated top system as well as all of the window systems including the automatic dropdown that work on very few of these. All that work at a cost of over $4000.00. This was completed 6 months ago. He mentioned that it was one of the nicest originals he has worked on and estimated the value at over $30,000. His favorite years are the 1963 and 1966 convertibles.If you are an OVERSEAS BUYER looking for a Lincoln convertible this would be a good choice especially since the entire top system and window system was professionally restored by arguably the best Lincoln technician being John Cashman. Receipts available. This is probably the two most complicated systems of these Lincoln convertibles. I'm not sure about the cost of expert service in other countries for these systems. Besides the entire top and window system this car has had lots of work done in the last 2 years to make it a reliable driver including all new brakes...brand new manifolds , idler arm, fuel system rebuild, new exhaust system,new shocks, new carpet and much more. This car runs great and steers better than any I have previously driven. I am selling this for a friend that does not have an ebay account. He has invested a lot more $ in this car than he is asking so a good value to the lucky buyer. This car comes with a clear North Carolina title and was previously registered in Florida. |

Lincoln's $5B revival bid hinges upon new D6 chassis
Mon, 27 Oct 2014It's no secret that Lincoln has received short shrift from the Ford Motor Company for years, and former CEO Alan Mullay even wanted to kill the whole thing off when he ran things. Today, things appear to be trending in a different direction. Fresh investment has helped enable a sizable marketing push for its well-regarded MKC compact crossover, a couple of awards for the company and plant the seeds for a major expansion into China. While the situation is still in the early going, it looks like Lincoln is on a tentative (if long) path towards a turnaround. If new reports are accurate, the brand is poised to build on that momentum with its largest investment in new products in years thanks in large measure to a new modular platform codenamed D6.
According to four unnamed insiders speaking to Reuters, FoMoCo is investing over $5 billion over the next five years, partially to create a new modular platform to underpin multiple Lincoln vehicles - and possibly some Ford products, too. Development is reportedly being overseen by the division's new boss, Kumar Galhotra. At the moment, specific details about the D6 chassis aren't yet known, but it's rumored to have the flexibility to support front-, rear- and all-wheel drive vehicles. According to Reuters, the first model using the framework could be an MKZ replacement and seven-passenger MKT successor in 2019.
Until the D6-based models hit, expect to see continued expansion from Lincoln. Ford management isn't trying to turn around the division overnight and is planning "in terms of generations of products," according to current CEO Mark Fields. The strategy unsurprisingly includes a production version of Lincoln's recent MKX Concept, as well as an all-new Navigator using aluminum-intensive architecture. Reuters also claims the MKS is due for renewal in the meantime, including with a longer-wheelbase version to appeal to the brand's new Chinese buyers.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.
