This is a NO RESERVE auction for my my 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This has been in our family for about 30 years, my dad starting restoring it about 20 years ago, but never finished, so here’s your chance to restore it and get it back on the road. This car originally came with the V12, but it was missing when we got it. He put a Mustang II front end in it, disc brakes, Ford 9” rear end and a Ford 400 motor with AT. The fenders were removed and the body was media blasted and painted with bare metal etching primer. No bondo or bodywork has been done. You can see in the pics that there are a few rusty places in the floor that need to be replaced, but otherwise the car is very solid and rust free. All of the fenders, doors, and other sheet metal are rust free and very straight.

He’s been collecting spare parts for it over the years and has duplicate parts for just about every part of the car. Spare fenders, dashes, gauges, switches, radios, grilles, bumpers, etc… There’s even a brand new spare radiator with a custom brass top that’s polished to a mirror finish. The original radiator is also included with the dual inlets and dual outlets that were on all of the V12 cars.

The convertible top is complete with all of the bows and can be raised and lowered manually. The hydraulic lift struts are still there, including the original aluminum interior panels.

The continental kit is all original and complete with spare tire brackets and tire cover panels that are in perfect original condition.

This car is super rare and is an excellent candidate for restoration because it’s very complete, rust free and in great condition. As far as we can tell, it’s been here in Arizona it’s entire life, so it’s in really good shape. When we bought it, it was stored in a garage and for the last 30 years we’ve had it stored in the garage as well. There are enough accessory parts for 2 cars. My dad recently passed away and I wouldn’t be able to restore this car the way it should be done, so I hope it goes to a good car family that can bring it back to life.

The car has a clear Arizona title in my name, it’s not a salvage title and there are no liens.

Because there are so many spare parts and they won’t all fit in the car, I will NOT ship internationally. Transportation of this car will consist of a auto trailer as well as a truck bed just for all of the spare parts. Please make arrangements with me before final bidding to arrange transportation. The car rolls very easily and the tires will hold air for a few days.

Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

Lincoln MKX Concept announces impending launch in China

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

Lincoln has finally dropped the details on the MKX Concept after a few days of teasing. Set for a very important global debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, we're going to have to see this conceptualized version of the third-generation MKX in person before we can draw any real conclusions on the effectiveness of its design.
One of the things Lincoln will need to do to succeed is deliver something to customers that's unique to the brand's vehicles, which are exclusively rebadged models from parent company Ford. We're not sure this is going to be distinctive enough.
Unlike its last new vehicle, the Navigator, the work done on the MKX is smooth and refined. The stance of the vehicle, with its 21-inch wheels, is aggressive enough. Viewed from the profile, the overhangs appear rather short, while character lines keep it from looking slabsided. In front, we might be witnessing the cleanest interpretation yet of Lincoln's twin grilles. The headlights are slim and stylish, and we're digging the shape and style of the mirrors, which feature integrated turn signals that outline the mirror cap.
