1963 Lincoln Continental Sedan In Silver Mink Metallic - True Survivor on 2040-cars
Year:1963
Mileage:68286
Location:
Chester, New Jersey, United States
|
This 1963 Lincoln Continental sedan in Silver Mink Metallic, factory leather interior true survivor car was found in Connecticut where it sat in storage for over 14 years. This car is virtually original, except for typical maintenance parts, like rotor and cap, plug wires, plugs, etc.. Odometer has 68,286 original miles on it. Paint is original and has not been touched. It does show some signs of crazing and age, and there are a few very minor door dings on the car. The hood has some surface rust as shown in the pictures. There are a couple of small bubbles on the bottom edge of the driver’s door, but this car is as clean and straight as I have ever seen for a 50+ year old original paint car – especially being from the east coast. It does not look like this car ever saw salt and was garage kept its entire life. The chrome is in good shape with very little pitting. There are scratches on the passenger side of the front bumper and the driver side of the rear bumper. One of the hubcaps has some curb rash. There are also two small dents on the rear bumper to the passenger side of the license plate holder. The interior is entirely original and the leather is in very good shape for being 51 years old. The headliner is solid except for a small 1/2 inch tear above the passenger seat. Please see the pictures showing the defects listed above. Also, hood insulation is missing. Unfortunately, the clock does not work. This car has power seats, power locks and power windows. The driver’s side power window switches have either been refurbished or replaced and all power windows work from all switches. Power antenna still works, as does the radio. Blower motor works as do all dash controls – even the cigarette lighter. I am the fourth owner and I have the original order slip, dealer invoice, window sticker, owners manual and receipts that show a good maintenance history by the prior owners. This car has a clean NJ title. I found the car around January 1, 2014 and have performed the following work to it:
When replacing the brake lines and flushing the fuel system, I had to remove the driver’s side-wheel well access panel to get to the brake proportioning valve and fuel lines – the interior of the wheel wells and firewall showed no signs of rust whatsoever and the undercoating looks completely original. This car is a TRUE SURVIVOR, not just an unrestored car. In my opinion, its easily a number 3+ or 2- car. It runs great, shifts are firm and brakes are strong. It will need an exhaust from the resonators back. The door, window and trunk seals are all original and look to be in good shape, but I would not trust them if you plan on leaving the car outside. Although the wide whites look great and have a lot of tread left, I suggest changing them to new wide white radials. The car comes with an Evolution Fabric cover that is specific to the car. Original jack and tools remain and don’t look like they have ever been used. There is nothing to hide with this car and I believe it speaks for itself, especially in person. If you are in the area, stop by and take a look at it. I have been driving it to work on nice days and she runs great! This is a great driver for cruise nights and an even better candidate for restoration or fun custom project. Please feel
free to ask any question about the car or if you want some additional
pictures. Also, although the listing
says local pickup only, if you are within a few hours of New Jersey, we may be
able to work something out for delivery in an enclosed trailer. Cars like this don’t come around very often. If big sixties cruisers are you thing, you
should take advantage of this rare opportunity.
Good luck bidding! |

Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars
Mon, Oct 6 2014U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
Lincoln Aviator returns, VW ponders pickups, and Subaru Forester endures
Mon, Apr 2 2018NEW YORK – Volkswagen is taking a hard look at a pickup truck, the Lincoln Aviator is back, and you love old Subarus (we'll explain). The New York Auto Show returned last week with flair and a wide range of promising reveals. Let's break down some of the big news, plus a few things you might have missed. News: Ford is fortifying Lincoln with the Aviator SUV Views: Doing a mid-size SUV is obvious. Calling it the Aviator wasn't. I like it. Using Navigator design cues, this thing looks the part and should give Lincoln some energy and sales volume. Not playing in the midsize SUV segment has been a mistake for Ford's luxury brand, and the Aviator should fill a much-needed hole. Props to Lincoln for dusting off the Aviator name, most recently used on a rebadged Ford Explorer built in 2003-2005. It sounds classy and historic, like something from 1930s, even though it only dates to the tail end of the " Friends" era. Speaking of names, when the MKC gets a new one, Lincoln should dust off Zephyr, a moniker it actually used in the '30s and then briefly in the early 2000s. Why use the Aviator name? Jim Farley, Ford's president of global markets, said it's about reminding consumers that Ford has traditionally built strong SUVs. "I think in a way the legacy is falling in love with what we do best," he said. "We wanted to go back to our roots. We know how to do this well." Farley also said the Aviator could prove to be Lincoln's bestseller. The Aviator was well-received in New York, earning our Best in Show award and garnering cautiously optimistic reactions from some analysts. "Lincoln ran this experiment once before ... differences in the market conditions, stronger differentiation and appetite for utility vehicles may prove a different story for this Aviator," IHS analyst Stephanie Brinley said. View 19 Photos News: VW surprised the car world with the Atlas Tanoak pickup concept Views: Good move. VW should build this. The concept is based on a longer version of the Atlas platform and would take aim at the midsize truck segment. VW is using this prototype to "gauge the reactions" of automotive influencers, but make no mistake, the Tanoak is totally doable. Using Atlas bones and mechanicals punched up with rugged styling and some soft-road capability, the Tanoak would grow VW's portfolio in a smart way. The Atlas Cross Sport concept, also revealed in New York, signals that Atlas expansion is already underway.
