Original Spanish Red Metallic1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Hampstead, North Carolina, United States
|
My car is as low mileage as you will find anywhere. my car is a factory air condition ca. It has cruise control s well. It was the very top of the line. It is a 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible 4 door sedan with suicide doors. The exterior paint is code Q spanish red metallic.The paint is extremly shiny but shows some sign of age. There are no visible rust anywhere on the car. The only inperfections on paint are very small bubbles in clear coat the size of a Pin Head or the size of a small bb from a bb gun. The body is straight as an arrow. I had the North Crolina State troopers run the vin# and it has never been involved in a single accident. Not one accident and its 51 years old. The motor and transmission are matching numbers stock factory equipment. The transmission was rebuilt 2000 miles ago my a certified shop and the motor was thoroughly gone through as well as an exhaust manifold was cracked. At that time the motor was completely pulled out and cleaned along with the replacement of any leaks and gaskets. I have over $9000 in reciepts which was all performed under 2100 miles ago. The drivetrain is completely stock and unaltered except for the tranny rebuild. The carburator is the original stock carb and still starts runs and idles perfectly. A full fluid flush and tune up was done this week 4/22/14. The entire exhaust system has been replaced with a complete stainless steel exhaust under 2000 miles ago as well. This car is extemely quiet and does not leak anything. It truly is the ultimate luxury car. It has Hollywood written all over it! The interior is almost flawless. The seats and carpet look like new. All the guages work well. all the power top, windows, and locks work smoothly. The only unaltered item on the interior is the Alpine cd player which was mounted in the stock am radio location. I have never had the original am radio for it, but on ebaythere are plenty for sale. Please contact me for more pictures and emails. I would me more than happy to answer any questions you may have. My car has the stock oem original wheels and hubcaps and correct date tires. you can fly in and drive this car back to anywhere in the country without a single issue. I also replaced the batter last week. It is register, inspected, and unsured. With this condition and low mileage its a $30k plus car. With a $5000-$8000 paint job its a $50k plus car. look around and see for yourself. This is a rare collector car which I NEED to sell to buy a house for my family. |

Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
