This is a two tone Mark ll, one of 16, with maybe 3 originals left, Dark Bronze roof, Light bronze lower. This car is at least 80% there. The frame is bad. Listed below is what the winning bid receives.
This car has a nice body for being 57 years old.
The front floor pans have already been replaced.
Exhaust in the car is very solid.
A good radio core with the KNOBS to use for a conversion to am/fm.
A real nice instrument cluster, with working gauges.
Power seat motors, front door window motors.
The rear seat can be dyed and reused, the front will have to be redone.
Passenger side rocker molding is in decent shape, And you will get a NOS driver side rocker with the car. [$700 value]
Hood chrome trim is very nice shape.
Front and rear bumpers clean up real nice and are good driver quality.
Both taillight assby are there, and the hinges are in good shape on the fuel tank side.
The car has tinted glass, all good, but it is a non a/c car.
It come with a good set of hood hinges, no slop or worn out.
The grill will clean up nice, and the center bar is perfect, no dents or cracks. [$350 value]
Now a description of the engine and rolling frame.
The frame had 2 SMALL bad spots that I repaired with heavy steel patches. Then gave a quick coat of black paint so it would not get surface rust.
The engine is a 57,000 mile engine with no leaks, no taps, no smoke, no gunk build up inside. This motor needs nothing, it sounds great. This motor came from another Mark ll. I drove the car before I cut it up. The carb may need rebuilt, as it has been sitting in my shop for 3 years, and the gaskets may have dried up.
The transmission from the same car. It shifts smooth, with no leaks.
Rear brakes are on the frame, front ones need to be switches from the donor car to the rolling frame.
After you make the switch to the good frame, you will have a lot of parts that are extra, or you could sell. There is a complete suspension and a rebuilt trans in the donor car.
Parts I know you will need to finish. Vent window motors, quarter window motors, door locks. I THINK I have a outside mirror and a trunk medallion, that you could get rechromed, again, I THINK!
Please do not ask what the reserve is, bid what it is worth to you. I will try to answer all your questions asap.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
