EBAY IS NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD THE HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS CAR.  EMAIL ME FOR AN ALBUM CONTAINING NEARLY 100 PICS SHOWING EVERY ASPECT OF THE VEHICLE.

This car has undergone an extensive reconditioning in the 5 years I have owned it and has been driven 810 miles in that time.

Originally from northern Kentucky, it was rust-free when I purchased it.

Mechanical upgrades:  rebuilt transmission at 60,726 miles, replaced spark plugs, points, condenser, distributor cap, wires, fuel filter, new carburetor with electric choke, relined gas tank with new fuel sending unit, fuel lines, brake lines and hoses, master cylinder, silicone brake fluid conversion, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, battery & cables, hoses, belts, air cleaner, water junction block, fan clutch, distributor lead wire, recored radiator & heater core, rebuilt fuel pump, alternator, water pump, new heater valve, power steering filter, washer reservoir bag, rebuilt washer pump, oiled blower fan, new timing chain & gears, air conditioning compressor & dryer, complete dual exhaust from engine on back (Waldron's Exhaust, whisper quiet), rebuilt steering gear, new center drag link, transmission pan seal, voltage regulator, rear wheel cylinders, spark plugs, power steering hose, starter solenoid, rebuilt window safety relay, new ignition switch, new heater control valve.

Exterior:  $8,000 base coat-clear coat paint in original color, all chrome replated including bumpers, door handles, roof belt line, all pot metal.  New reproduction hood ornament.  NOS quarter panel Continental scripts, fender stars, front turn signal lenses, NOS trunk lock cover, NOS quarter panel end reflectors.  New windshield.  Turn signal and taillight pods were sandblasted and repainted with highly reflective coating and new lens gaskets were fabricated.  Rocker moldings professionally polished.  A new SMS vinyl roof with correct grain and Ford White color was installed. 

Interior:  fresh sound deadener & insulation, front seat bottom foam replaced, all light bulbs replaced including instrument cluster, new trunk carpeting.  Power seat track reconditioned.  Clock serviced, keeping original works.

HVAC:  Automatic temperature control system upgraded to the more reliable 1967 design, including new control buttons, rheostat, master control unit, sensors, etc.  Three months ago, the compressor & dryer were replaced and everything worked properly.

In May 2013, the car had an oil change, grease job & coolant flush and has been driven 75 miles since.

Faults:  The transmission seeps a little when sitting.  The dashboard turn signal indicator implies a left turn no matter which direction the turn signal stalk is pushed -- either up or down.  However, the exterior bulbs flash in the desired direction.  It may be a relay, but I do not know.

If a deal is struck, the paperwork required by the State of Michigan will be filled out correctly and with the actual amount of the transaction.  Title skippers will not be tolerated.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014



Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

There's no single silver bullet that will cure all that ails the Lincoln brand, and Ford knows that just as surely as we do. Coming out with exciting new models like the well-received MKC crossover counts as several steps in the right direction, assuming of course that the production version is as appealing as the concept just shown at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but more is needed. According to Jim Farley, executive vice president of Lincoln, one more trick may be "mass customization."
Put another way, Lincoln is considering ways to allow buyers to customize their new vehicles right off the showroom floor, similar to how things are done at Mini, and, to a lesser extent, Scion, where Farley previously served as corporate manager. Imagine, for instance, ordering a new MKC with a large Lincoln insignia embossed into the leather seatbacks, according to Automotive News.
While we're not so sure anybody is all that interested in paying extra for more Lincoln logos, it's a strategy that has proven rather fruitful at Mini. Only time will tell if Ford's erstwhile luxury division will once again be seen as something truly worth reaching for, and if customers are willing to pay a further premium for customization.

2015 Lincoln Navigator puts on a brave face, offers EcoBoost V6 only

Thu, 23 Jan 2014



Lincoln has finally given its SUV a facelift after seven long years.
Seven years is a long time. For the auto industry, though, seven years is an absolute eternity. Most vehicles receive clean-sheet redesigns within the span of seven years, usually getting a facelift of some sort after year three or four. Not Lincoln.
