1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States
If you are looking for a gorgeous,rare and unique collector Lincoln convertible this is it with it's new Teal paint and new leather Aqua/White interior. This is 1 of only 9 built that had this combination of Teal paint exterior and Aqua interior which is very striking and beautiful. We've had so many people mention how much they love the color.This car is also loaded with options including the rare one year only option of power passenger headrest and reclining seat (see picture)...very cool! It also has the Town & Country AM/FM radio with the floor foot pedal for station seek. Another fun and cool feature that everyone loves which was not an original option is the period correct Sears CB Radio that actually works which is mounted in the front center (see picture). This is where the optional 8 Track mounts but was removed to accommodate the CB. I have the original 8 track with some tapes that go with the car(see picture). The detailed information on this car came from the Marti Report which I purchased. This is a report from actual Ford records that will come with the car (see picture) and goes into production detail. It also says it was sold on New Year's 1966. Below is a list of some of the options:
There is also chrome side molding that I was told was a rare dealer option. Below is a list of some of the thousands of $ of work that has been done to make this a reliable driving and fun collectible. Almost all of this work within the last year.
This beauty starts right up and runs great. Transmission works properly as do the brakes. The top goes through all of it's functions properly and both the inside top switch and outside rear top switch will operate the new top up and down. All of the windows work. I also had the rear window drop-down function fixed on both sides. This function actuates when either of the rear doors are opened and is important to the top, doors and windows working correctly. I have video of the rear windows properly dropping down as well as video of the top working which is on you tube but not allowed on ebay. Please let me know if you would like to see them. Mileage says around 40,000. but I cannot verify if accurate or not. Another extremely important consideration in purchasing a 60s Lincoln convertible is whether or not it has any rust. Most I looked at did in fact have several areas of rust which is extremely expensive to fix. This however is a clean Florida car. Look at the pictures showing the entire bottom of the car...solid...solid...solid! Again just about everything works on this car. There is a crack in the dash by the speaker which is true of most of these. The chrome is driver quality and the stainless trim in good condition. Most of the rubber is decent and have new trunk seal and bumper to body seal that go with the car. I would rate this car as a higher end driver but has additional added value with it's special uniqueness and the fact that it is loaded with almost every option available. This one is a real attention getter with people wanting to take pictures constantly. The value of this car is estimated around the $30,000. range according to a Lincoln expert that looked at it for me. My reserve is very much lower than that as I need to sell at this time. The 1967 was the last year for the convertible Lincoln and the 67's of which only a little over 2,700 were built has led to these jumping in value over the last few years according to the Haggerty Report and others.. These have a lot more options than earlier models and the preferable glass rear window. Also included is an original color sales brochure, original owners manual and shop manual (see picture) and the original build sheet that was behind the back seat (see picture). *Please feel free to email with questions and to setup an inspection of the car. Inspections must take place before bidding not after. If you do not personally inspect the car or have someone inspect it on your behalf then you must agree to positive feedback. I say this because although I try to disclose everything to my knowledge concerning condition of the car my opinion may differ from yours on certain issues. If you do not perform due diligence on this or any other vehicle then it would be totally unfair for you to leave negative feedback and ruin my rating because you disagree with something you should have been aware of before your purchase by having it inspected to your satisfaction or not. If you are a serious bidder I will send you my phone number to answer any other questions you may have. TERMS: I have the right to cancel any bids with fewer than 10 feedback's. If you do please contact me so I can do my best to determine if you are a serious bidder. Upon meeting the reserve, bidders must contact me by message or phone and demonstrate a serious intent to purchase. If I don't hear from you within a 12 hour period from your bid then I reserve the right to cancel your bid. Please do not bid at all unless you are a serious buyer with the wherewithal to complete the deal. All sales are final. The vehicle is sold as is, where is! Car is advertised locally and I reserve the right to close auction down at any time. This car will not be released until all funds are cleared. Deposits are not refundable. Overseas bidders are welcome....I will help the transport truck load your car.

These are the slowest-selling new cars of 2024
Fri, Apr 26 2024While overall sales numbers are a solid indicator of an automaker’s success, another metric can show how well its new vehicles resonate with buyers on the ground. iSeeCars recently released a list of the fastest- and slowest-selling new car companies on the market, and a handful of brands appear to have some catching up to do. Lincoln landed the “top spot” among slow-selling brands, taking an average of 82.6 days to move inventory. Infiniti wasnÂ’t much better, at 79.8 days, and Buick came third with 79 days to sell. Slowest-selling new cars of 2024 Lincoln: 82.6 days to sell Infiniti: 79.8 Buick: 79 Audi: 75.1 Ram: 69.7 Ford: 68.1 Dodge: 67.4 GMC: 66.6 Acura: 65.4 Lexus: 64.5 iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer noted that the fastest-selling brands, which include Toyota, Alfa Romeo, and Cadillac, likely move inventory because they resonate with buyersÂ’ desire for value and a compelling product. The study also noted that seeing GMC, Ford, and Ram so low on the list likely indicates slowing truck sales, which comprise a significant portion of those brandsÂ’ numbers. ItÂ’s also possible that buyers are turned off by higher prices from those brands. Fast-selling new car brands also appeared on the used car list, where Honda, Lexus, and Toyota dominated. Unfortunately for Lincoln, it also made the slow-selling used list, between Maserati as the slowest and Alfa Romeo in third. iSeeCarsÂ’ analysis also examined EV and hybrid sales and found that hybrids tend to sell much faster than their electric counterparts. In March 2024, new hybrids took an average of 49.5 days to sell, while EVs took 70.6 days. That again brings us to the price and value arguments, where hybrids are significantly less expensive than EVs, though charging and range concerns also likely play a role.

Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
2019 Lincoln Nautilus replaces MKX crossover as new naming system takes hold
Wed, Nov 29 2017Goodbye, Lincoln MKX, hello Nautilus. And while you're at it, you can start saying goodbye to Lincoln's arcane alphanumeric nomenclature altogether. Lincoln unveiled the 2019 Nautilus midsize crossover in Los Angeles, taking the wraps (literally) off a ceramic gray version that had been hoisted to the rooftop penthouse of the Dream Hollywood hotel via crane ahead of its formal introduction Wednesday at the L.A. Auto Show. Latin for "sailor," the Nautilus joins the Continental and Navigator to establish a travel theme in the luxury brand's lineup. Robert Parker, global director of marketing, sales and service for Lincoln, said the significant changes made to the midsize SUV made this the right time to switch to a more traditional model name. "We'll do it with other products in the future, we're gonna do it one at a time," he said, without committing to a timetable. The company said nothing about renaming the recently refreshed 2019 MKC compact crossover, for example, nor the MKZ midsize sedan. Parker said the letter-based nomenclature was particularly challenging for customers in China, which has emerged as a key market in Lincoln's third year selling vehicles there. "There's an old adage that the name doesn't make the car, the car makes the name. So there's a degree of that that's played into this," Parker said. "This kind of connection that consumers have, especially with American brands and names, we felt like, is something that Lincoln could own, it's something we've owned in the past, and bringing those two back together, it does make it a bit more effortless for customers." The Nautilus gets its siblings' new signature grille and sidebody badging, welcome lighting from the undercarriage and cabin, and a choice of five new wheel options (out of six total) and three premium Black Label interior trim themes and other perks. It boasts an all-new front end, with everything redesigned from the A-pillar forward, plus a suite of driver-assist technologies like a lane-centering feature that pairs with adaptive cruise control; evasive steering assistance, which uses radar and cameras to lower the risk of rear-end collisions and can help the driver steer around the vehicle if needed; pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection; and active park assist. Inside, there's dark-stained wood trim on the console and minimal controls, with Lincoln opting to keep the cabin spacious, quiet and uncluttered. The rear seats offer best-in-class head and legroom.
