This auction is for a 1966 Lincoln Continental Suicide 4 Door Convertible. This is a project car but very worthy of being done. The prior owner had the car for many years. He took it off the road in the early 1990's to do a complete restoration. The motor and transmission were removed to be redone. Somewhere along the line the transmission went missing so everything was put on hold. We do have most of the 462  motor. The block was hot tanked, cleaned and new freeze plugs installed. We have the crank, pistons, cam shaft, both heads, some of the valves and springs, intake and carb, oil pan, starter, power steering unit, etc. I did not see the valve covers. No transmission but we do have the drive shaft. No radiator. The interior in the car is in real decent shape. Dash is amazing, seats are not beat up, just typical light leather cracking. Door panels are in great shape, visors are nice. Even the carpets are decent, just need a good shampooing to get the musty smell out. The car came optioned with Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes, Tilt Steering Wheel, Power Seat, Power Windows and Power Convertible Top. All the glass is good with the exception of the front windshield which is cracked. The dual exhaust system looks to be in good solid shape also. The body on the car is fairly respectable. Real straight down both sides, doors open and close great, there is some minor rust on the bottom of both front fenders behind the rocker moldings, couple of small spots on the nose, a little behind the rear doors and both lower rear quarters at the very bottoms. Looks like a fairly easy fix. The underside of the car is very solid. Floors, Rockers, frame, braces and trunk pan are all good and solid. Rear opening decklid and deck flap are solid. Over all, a good basic structure to work with. Make it original ,resto mod ,or make it your own.The motor and all parts are included if you want them. They would all fit in the trunk for shipping. There are a lot of sedans and other big Ford donor vehicles to be had reasonable if you want to go with a different drive line. We have the last Maine registration and proper dealer transfer forms for a smooth transaction. Car can be stored for a reasonable amount of time if you need to make shipping arrangements but car needs to be paid for within 3 days of auctions end. Selling at no reserve so please be serious in your bidding. If you need more info or pics feel free to email or call us at 1-207-324-5568 Days or 1-207-432-2862 Eves and Sundays.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
