What you are looking at is one of the most iconic vehicles that I know of, the JFK car.  Even though I believe the original JFK car was 63 Lincoln Continental, this car actually originated in Texas as well.  I still have the original license plate that was issued to this vehicle in 1964.  I hate to part with this car but due to purchase of a new house this must go.  So here we go.  

What you are looking at is a numbers matching 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible fully loaded with the original 430 V8 motor and transmission.  This black beauty looks quite cool with all black exterior and beautiful red interior.  I have taken this Lincoln to multiple car shows and rarely do you see these cars in public.  Due to California weather, I always have the top down and rarely have a need to put the top up.  Lets start with the exterior.  The paint is very nice, however it is several years old.  So if you are looking for a perfect car, this car is not for you.  With that said, the car has some minor imperfections but nothing major.  It does not have any rust issues.  It does have a few chips here and there but you do have to look for them.  The chrome is in great condition and looks good.  However, with an afternoon you can get the chrome to polish and look even better.  The interior is very clean, non smoker, no rips or tears in the seats or carpet.  The car does have power seats and power everything.  The radio, heater, power antenna, power locks, seats, windows, convertible top, lights, etc all work.  The convertible top does go up and down.  The trunk opens and closes as it should.  If you know Lincoln Continentals than you should know that the electronics on these cars are finicky.  You do have to tinker with this every now and then.  Back in 1964 this Lincoln was the highest optioned car available and sold for well over $8000.00 and they only made around 3,328 of these convertibles.  So when was the last time you saw one.  I did have all of the power equipment working and had all of the window switches completely rebuilt.  All the motors do work, however you just may need to reset the relays.  I also have Lincoln Continental manual that breaks down this car down to the very last relay.  


The motor runs really good but it is the original motor.  The transmission shifts smooth and with out problems.  At 70 mph on the freeway the car just glides along.  The exhaust sounds great and has a very deep and powerful sound to it.  The car does have a few minor leaks coming from the oil pan and transmission pan as well but nothing major.  The AC does not work right now and I do have a new condenser for it and that is all it needs.  Also, the speedometer does not work right now but it was working a few weeks ago.  The convertible top does look ok, but it may need to be replaced depending upon your preference.  As I said, I rarely use the top and always have the car garaged.  I am very confident that with just a few thousand dollars investment you can easily turn this car into a 45-50K car.  My reserve is set pretty low, however I won't give the car away either. 

I do have the car for sale locally and retain the right to end this auction at anytime if the car sells sooner.  I have the pink slip on the car and it is currently registered with out any issues.  If you have any questions or want to test drive the car please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971.

Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.

Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.

Lincoln MKC spied in final form

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln.
Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.
Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.
