1962 Lincoln Continental 429 Engine Swap on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
This is a custom car with a 429ci (same block as a 460) motor and
transmission out of a 1969 Thunderbird. I have lost interest and need
the space for other projects. The body is very clean with minimal rust
on the rear fender. Floors and truck pans are original and solid, it is
an original west Texas car. The original power drum brakes have been
completely rebuilt. All front bushings, ball joints and steering
linkage components have been replaced. Interior has been redone and is
super clean. The engine has been rebuilt, about 300 miles, and have
receipts of lots of good and forged parts.
Choppy Comp cam and Flowmaster exhaust, doesn't sound like your typical Lincoln. H-beam rods, studded heads and main caps with windage tray, ported c8ve heads with hardened valve seats, roller rockers, edelbrock air gap intake, quick fuel 750 cfm double pumper carb, forged pistons, 11:1 compression, custom made headers, msd distributor and 6al box, C6 automatic transmission with 2000 rpm stall and a custom aluminum drive-shaft. The car is a project that isn't complete. The c6 transmission leaks out of the front pump seal and the car needs a better cooling system, it runs warm when it is hot outside. The hood will have to be modified to fit over the engine, but I have two of them. The passenger rear window doesn't work, the power seat works but doesn't move the seat, there is no speedo cable and the windshield is cracked. Other minor things need to be connected or done that I cannot remember at this time. This is a super cool car that turns heads every time I drive it. Rides smooth and is fairly quick for a 5000 lbs. car. Please call with any questions five one two 669 zero 8 zero 6. I have the title in my name.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
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.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
