The biggest production car ever made just got customized!!!! The 1958 Lincoln your looking at has had a full transformation to current condition by Acme Rods Inc. a certified shop with over 17 years in the business. Our goal was to retain the original class of this cutting edge for its time luxury automobile, while bringing it into the 21st century. To change the attitude of this monster all four corners had to go on air bags, the lower the better. So, no standard kit would do the job everything had to be made to order, how will i get replacement parts you ask. Well, our engineering team already thought of that, we not only rebuilt all of the suspension components so that you will have years of trouble free service, we made sure that ever part of the suspension change over is a stocked item at any auto repair store. Every piece of the suspension front and rear is new, ball joints, suspension bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, steering idler arm, and the steerring box has been rebuilt. For anyone that has ever had the pleasure of rebuilding a lincoln of this era before knows how much of an expense this can be and how hard it is to locate all these parts, all of this trouble has been done for you. Two compressors and twin five gallon tanks were mounted in the trunk along with the solenoid valves. Although these components usually fill a normal cars truck there is plenty of room for a full size spare and all the luggage you and your friends or family would ever need for a weekend retreat. A car this big has to have a great braking system, the original system was not that at all. Every part of the drum braking system was removed, and four wheel disc brakes and a po wer booster replaced the antiquated original. all the hoses and lines were replaced or upgraded. New emergency brake cables were custom made, the entire system works flawlessly easily stops a 7000lbs plus car. All the original pedals and warning lights were retained and function exactly as they would have in 1958 when this car was brand new. One thing has always been Paramount at Acme Rods Inc., HORSEPOWER. This is the original numbers matching 430 Lincoln Maurder factory rated at 415hp. As we stated what a great starting point, we took this recently overhauled engine and made sure every nut bolt and spec was absolutely perfect. We installed a new timing chain, resealed every gasket or seal that even remotely looked like it had a leak or a drip. While it was a part we painted everything back to the original lincoln engine color. We installed a new water pump, thermostat, belts and hoses, recored the radiator and had it pressure tested. Also replaced was the points and condensor, why use out of date parts when you can use modern tecnology we asked and installed an electonic trigger from pertronix. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, gone is the ballast resistor and a new 3ohm coil replaces it for years of trouble free service. The original carburater was beyond a satisfactory rebuild so a holley direct fit replacement was put on and an open element air cleaner that retains the orinal appearance. All new exhaust was ran from the freshly rebuilt manifolds to the rear bumper. A custom h pipe was added and magnaflow mufflers with chrome turn downs were installed. The entire a/c system had been ravage by years of storage, so every part was replaced, new compressor, lines, dryer, and condensor. Older a/c systems ran r-12 and that is all but exist now so it was converted to r-134a any auto parts store sells 134a if the need to ever top the system off would arise. While we were at it the original heater cores were showing signs of weepage so we recored them both and installed all new hoses. Another major hurdle with older lincons is the electrical system, making all power options work can be a major expense. We went through every system and all of them work perfectly now. All seven windows work, power vent windows, all four door windows and the rear window. The six way power seat functions perfectly and the power vent/ heat, ac switch cycles exactly as its supposed to. All the lighting system has been rebuilt and everything works from high beam low beams to the backup lamps are a never fail to operate system now. The fuel system has been upgraded a new tank and pickup were installed along with a fuel filter which was not part of the original system. The interior is original except for the carpet which was repalced with an exact copy of the original. The exterior paint is original and it does show its age, but it works flawlessly with the look that the car gives of when the air ride is let down and the custom 17" black rock wheels are swallowed whole into the wheel wells. New rubber was installed on the wheels and it is setup with a stagger from front to back. This has been an amazing project that we at Acme Rods Inc. have all enjoyed, but like all projects they come to an end and we move on to the next one. We named this one project Marilyn....... Manson, happy bidding whoever wins this item will not be disappointed we can arrange shipping in the lower 48 for a fee all international shipppng is buyers responsibilty.

Ford recalls 125,000 Maverick, Escape, Corsair hybrids over fire risk
Tue, Jun 6 2023Ford is recalling more than 125,000 Maverick, Escape and Lincoln Corsair hybrids produced for the 2020-2023 model years to address a fire risk associated with failure of their internal combustion engines, which Ford says is happening with undue frequency. In the event of an engine block breach, oil and fuel vapors may collect under hood in places that would make them prone to ignition, meaning that an engine failure can do more than leave owners stranded. "Isolated engine manufacturing issues have resulted in 2.5L HEV/PHEV engine failures involving engine block or oil pan breach," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of an engine block or oil pan breach, the HEV/PHEV system continues to propel the vehicle allowing the customer to continue to drive the vehicle. As the customer continues to drive after a block breach, oil and/or fuel vapor continues to be expelled and accumulates near ignition sources, primarily expected to be the exhaust system." Per Ford, the "manufacturing issues" include poor machining of the engine crankshaft and contamination of engine block mating surfaces during assembly. The issue has been fixed in production, but 2.5-liter engines that escaped the factory with defects could be ticking time bombs. Ford's solution is to re-work the underhood components that allow combustible liquids and vapors near ignition sources. This way, the cars are better protected against immolation regardless of the circumstances. Signs of failure will be obvious, Ford says. Loud clanging or booming noises, a loss of power and smoke are all immediate signs that the customer should exit the roadway as safely and quickly as possible and shut the car down. Owners should expect to receive notifications by the end of June or early July. They should begin circulating by mid-month. All remediation will be handled for the customer free of charge by their Ford dealerships. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator
Wed, Nov 8 2017General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
Ford's China sales keep falling, down 30% in third quarter
Fri, Oct 11 2019BEIJING — Ford's July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 30%, as the U.S. automaker continued to lose ground in a prolonged sales decline in its second biggest market. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker delivered 131,060 vehicles in China in the third quarter, Ford said in a statement. Ford's sales in China fell 35.8% in the first quarter and by 21.7% in the second quarter. In the third quarter, sales of the automaker's mass-market Ford brand fell 37.7%, while its luxury division Lincoln saw sales drop by 24.1%. It delivered around 421,000 vehicles in the first nine months of the year, according to Reuters calculations. Ford has been struggling to revive sales in China after its business began slumping in late 2017. Sales sank 37 percent in 2018, after a 6 percent decline in 2017. The automaker plans to launch more than 30 new models in China over the next three years, of which more than a third will be electric vehicles. It also said it would localize management teams by hiring more Chinese staff and aimed to improve relationships with joint venture partners. Ford has launched a series of new models in the third quarter in China, including Focus, Edge, and the electric Territory. In China, Ford makes cars through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors. It has said it would partner with Zotye Automobile Co to sell lower-priced cars, but there seems to have been little progress. In a series of moves, Ford named a new president for its main local venture, Changan Ford, in August and said it would enhance its partnership with Changan through research, production and marketing cooperation in September. Ford is also planning to revamp some of its existing manufacturing facilities with Changan to localize production of its premium brand Lincoln. Changan Ford's sales down by around 33.5% in the third quarter, according to Reuters calculations based on Changan's filings. Ford rival General Motors' July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 17.5%, to 689,531 vehicles. As GM and Ford China sales extend declines, U.S. car companies' market share of total China passenger vehicle sales fell to 9.5% in the first eight months of this year, from 10.7% in the year-ago period, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Over the same period, German carmakers' share has risen to 23.8% from 21.6%, and Japanese automakers' share rose to 21.7% from 18.3%.
