This car is Amazing!
This 1966 Lincoln Continental has been brought back to life, Professionally.
The car sat for 20 years in a storage unit, the owners son would start it once a month, I was lucky to find it and get te car back to its original specifications:
Engine:
The 462 makes NO noise, The exhaust manifolds on both sides are whisper quite.
What we did to the car:
New radiator and expansion tank
New water pump, new Timing set, and had the power steering pump rebuilt. New fuel pump and fule pump rod. The carb was rebuilt and all new belts. The AC has a new pump and blows ICE cold
The Transmission was completely rebuildt... Shifts smooth
The suspension: New upper and lower ball Joints, New controll arm bushings; Center Link and new shocks.
The rear shocks and new tires all around.
Interior: Nothing was done but a cleaning. notice the Red leather seat, with power seats that work. The dash pad has no cracks..usually near the front speaker there is a crack... not on this car.
The AM/FM Town and Country radio was rebuilt. It seeks, goes to AM and Fm with no issues at all, and the sound is very good. The original owner has an 8 track player ( dealer installed) with 4 speakers. the 8 Track is NOT working, instead, under the seat is an amp so you can plug in your I pod and listen to your favorite music. The original sisze speakers were installed, nothing cut up to add big speakers
Turn the key and within a millisecond, the car comes to life. Doing 80 MPH, feels like your not moving, quite and comfort is what this lincoln is all about.
Options on this car:
AM/FM Town & country radio (Works perfect)
Power vent windows ( work, along with all the other windows)
Cruise Control ( it lights up, but does NOT work)
AC..is Ice cold
Power Unlock trunk works
All lights work perfect
Paint. We did have it repainted, all chrome and stainless was removed, the car was a Light blue, we went with Black.
The front Bumper has some small dents,so the bumper was sent out, all dents removed and re chromed

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
