I am selling an original 1965 Lincoln Continental 4 door sedan. This car is all original and it runs and drives. This car is a great candidate for restoration, with minimal rust due to it's origins of Colorado where the climate is much dryer, and they don't use salt. There is some rust bubbling up by back edge of each fender well. The frame, floors and trunk pan are solid. This car originally had a vinyl top which I have taken off, and had painted the period correct white. The interior will need to be reworked as the seats are stained, the dash pad has cracks, the carpet is raided, and the leather is dry and cracked. The rear seat needs to be put back in place as the lower section has been unhooked. There has been an aftermarket stereo mounted nicely under the dash, and speakers in the rear package tray. This car has air conditioning, but it will need to be charged and checked for leaks. The exhaust has a leak at the manifold, and the tranny has a slow leak when not driven. This is the first year of disc brakes for the Lincoln, and I have to admit that this car will stop on the dime. The car does run well, but can be a bit cold blooded when not driven, and second gear can sometimes be a bit soft at first. The stainless on the body is in very good shape with some very minor dings in a couple of places. The glass is good, and the motors work most of the time. I would recommend going through the wiring for show quality. This car has a clear title that is in my name. I do welcome international bidders as I accept money wires. Cashiers checks will have to clear before the car and paperwork leave the premises. The buyer is responsible for the payment, and arrangements of shipping for this car. Please email with any questions. I am more than happy to help.

Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
