This auction is for a 1948 Lincoln Continental convertible project car. The body on the car is quite solid . Frame and under carriage solid also. Apparently prior owner was attempting a full frame off restoration and got side tracked . A good friend of mine purchased the car as you see it now. Most of the body parts were bolted in place for transportation. Nothing is lined up properly as it would need to come apart to be done correctly. For the most part the body looks pretty decent. You can make out some weld lines where partial floor  panels were replaced and there is still a few small perforated spots that need attention in the trunk well. I beleive we have 99% of all items that were removed but there could be a few missing pieces. It appears that all the chrome was redone . Includeing bumpers , grills headlight bezels, tail light bezels, top irons, and all the small pieces for the dash. Some of it is installed on the car and the rest is in containers in the trunk. There are other parts also such as dash panel, new carpeting, fuel tank, radiator, door glass and regulators. The original over drive trans , interior panels front and rear, tail lights , gauges, rocker moldings, top pistons and so on. We do not have the V-12 motor. Appears all the brakes were redone and new wide white wall tires installed. Have all the hub caps also and there emblems.This would be an excellant car to restore or hotrod . If you just needed the chrome for your car imagine what it would cost. Plenty of opportunity here. If you need a title in your state we are willing to register the car and with that and our dealer paper work you will have no problem. Car can stay here for a while until you get a shipper as long as it is paid for in advance.We require a $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end and the balance due 3 days from auctions end.

2016 Lincoln MKX gets 330-hp EcoBoost V6, new auto braking system

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Lincoln has been treading water with the MKX. The crossover's sales were flat in 2014, and its appearance and mechanicals have been largely unchanged since its last redesign in 2011. That changes this fall, when the redesigned 2016 MKX goes on sale in the United States with a more powerful EcoBoost engine, an upgraded cabin and a host of new comfort and safety features designed to make the crossover more competitive and increase its sales. The MKX debuts Tuesday at the Detroit Auto Show, though pictures leaked last weekend. The new vehicle has at least 36 new features compared with the outgoing model, and perhaps the most significant is the addition of the optional twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, which is expected to make more than 330 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque. That's a major jump from the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6, which is the only engine option available on the current vehicle. It continues as the standard engine for the 2016 model and is rated at 300 hp and 280 lb-ft. The engines are paired with six-speed automatic transmissions. Front wheel-drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is an option. Lincoln engineers focused on improving the driving character of the new MKX. The chassis is revised, and the rear suspension uses an integral link setup. It's also the first Lincoln to get adaptive steering. The body structure is updated and designed to keep more outside noise from the cabin. "Quietness is luxury," chief engineer Elaine Bannon said. The MKX was also redesigned with a focus on safety. The MKX is among the first Ford Motor Co. vehicles to get a new feature, called pre-collision assist. The technology will warn the driver if it senses a crash is imminent and apply the brakes. The technology is also launching this year on the European version of the Ford Fusion, the Mondeo. Additionally, the MKX gets a 360-degree camera that aids with parking. The camera is mounted behind the Lincoln star badge in the middle of the split-wing grille. It extends to offer a view of up to seven feet around the perimeter of the crossover. Lincoln also added an auto hold feature, which keeps the vehicle from moving when it is sitting in traffic. Lincoln underscored the MKX's new safety and technology with a more dramatic design for 2016. It has a swoopy appearance with fender flares similar to those on the MKC, and it's curvier and more creased than the outgoing MKX.

2017 Lincoln Continental garnering strong interest

Sun, Apr 3 2016

According to Automotive News, Lincoln has a list of about 40,000 people who have expressed interest in the brand's upcoming Continental sedan. While that may sound paltry next to the 250,000 people or so who have so far put deposits down for a Tesla Model 3, it's great news for Ford's luxury brand. "This is the most buzz I've seen in a long, long time," says Dan Marks, chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council. Lincoln is riding a wave of increased interest in 2016, having topped 100,000 sales last year. Prior to that, the last time that milestone was passed was way back in 2008. As is the case with most automakers, though, much of Lincoln's sales boost can be traced back to strong demand for crossovers like the MKX and SUVs like the Navigator. That makes 2017 an interesting time for Lincoln to be relaunching the Continental sedan. We can expect to see lots of marketing leading to its launch. "Extensive prelaunch activities" are planned, Matt VanDyke, director of global Lincoln, told Automotive News. We'll have to wait a little while longer before we know whether all that pent-up interest leads to actual sales. Or, put another way, whether the 2017 Continental will be a mic drop moment or a big flop.
