PLEASE READ THIS AD ENTIRELY BEFORE BIDDING OR ASKING QUESTIONS PLEASE...

I HAVE UP FOR SALE MY "REAL" 1965 CONVERTIBLE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT RIGHT NOW. BUT,IT IS COMPLETE AND DOES NOT NEED ANYTHING PARTS WISE EXCEPT A REAR TAIL LIGHT. IT IS PRETTY BADLY BENT AND WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR. ALSO,THE REAR BUMPER HAS A SILVER DOLLAR SIZE HOLE IN IT. IN MY OPINION I THINK A GOOD CHROME SHOP COULD FILL IT AND RE CHROME THE BUMPER,OR YOU COULD TRY TO FIND A NEW ONE.
  I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE 2010 WITH FULL INTENTIONS OF RESTORING THIS CAR 100% WITHOUT CUTTING CORNERS. I STARTED BY HAVING ALL THE TRIM AND CHROME REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND STRIPPED TO BARE METAL TO SEE WHAT ATTENTION WAS NEEDED WHERE. THE CAR HAD THE TYPICAL RUST THAT THESE CARS TYPICALLY GET IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS AND REAR QUARTER PANELS. ALL THAT WAS REMOVED AND FIXED CORRECTLY WITH METAL "NOT" BONDO. THE BODYWORK IS REALISTICALLY 95% DONE. THE BODY JUST NEEDS A ONCE OVER TO GET THE LIGHT SURFACE RUST OFF,(DUE TO IT NOT BEING PRIMERED) PRIMERED AND BLOCKED BEFORE PAINT.THE REST OF THE CAR IS SOLID. FLOORS ARE GOOD.
  THE CAR DOES NOT RUN. BUT IT DOES HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR IN IT AND IS COMPLETE.WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE OWNER WAS HOME BOUND AND COULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE. THE CAR SAT FOR A FEW YEARS PRIOR TO HIM SELLING IT TO ME,AND SAID BEFORE LISTING IT,IT WOULD TURNOVER BUT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I GOT THE CAR SHIPPED TO ME,I TRIED TO START IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BUT BEING I WAS GOING TO DO A FULL RESTORATION,I REALLY WASN'T CONCERNED WITH THAT BEING I WAS GOING TO REBUILD THE MOTOR ANYWAY.
  THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY MIDNIGHT BLUE,WITH A WHITE TOP AND WHITE INTERIOR. ALL THE PUMPS,MOTORS ETC. APPEAR TO BE INTACT AND ALL THERE FOR THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE TOP WAS NOT WORKING WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE PICTURES I AM LISTING IS THE CAR'S CURRENT STATE OF CONDITION. IT DOES LOOK LIKE A BIT OF A MESS BUT,IT'S ALL THERE. AS I SAID BEFORE THIS IS A RESTORATION PROJECT.IT WILL NEED TO BE HAULED/TRAILERED. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. NOT SALVAGE. NOT REBUILT.
  I AM LISTING THIS CAR AT A VERY REASONABLE "NO RESERVE" PRICE.  THIS IS A "ONE YEAR" BODY STYLE CONTINENTAL THAT LINCOLN ENTHUSIASTS LOVE AND DESIRE. PLEASE "DO NOT" BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT OR DON'T HAVE INTENTIONS OF PAYING FOR IT. THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT CAR TO BUY AND GREAT CAR TO HAVE AT A PRICE THAT YOU WON'T SEE AGAIN. MOST OF THESE CARS ARE EITHER COMPLETELY RESTORED AND VERY EXPENSIVE,OR DRIVERS THAT STILL COST ALOT AND STILL NEED WORK. GET ONE THAT'S AFFORDABLE AND DO IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT,THE RIGHT WAY! FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR LOOKING...

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.

New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues

Wed, Aug 7 2019

Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total.  While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured.  Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own.  The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.

2023 Lincoln Navigator makes changes to trim lineup and color menu

Mon, Jan 23 2023

Lincoln has been doing its thing out of the way of the big headlines at Ford. The brand hasn't put out an official press release for the Navigator since August 2021, the 2023 Navigator whispering into the new year so quietly we barely noticed. The big SUV got refreshed for the 2022 model year, gaining the brand's ActiveGlide hands-free driving system, Lincoln Enhance over-the-air update capability, a larger 13.2-inch infotainment screen, two new themes for the top-tier Black Label trim called Central Park and Invitation, tweaked front and rear fascias, and a few other bits. For 2023, the changes are mostly decorative and financial. The base extended model known as the Navigator L is gone. The stretched Navigator now comes in Reserve and Black Label only. Flight Blue is no longer on the exterior palette, but Diamond Red Tricoat can be ordered for the base Standard trim as well as the Reserve and Reserve L. The sole powertrain is unchanged, that being a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 with 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque sending power through a ten-speed automatic to either the rear wheels or all four. 2023 Navigator prices after the $1,895 destination charge, and their increases from 2022, are: Standard: $81,620 ($3,215) Reserve: $93,830 ($4,730) Reserve L: $96,860 ($5,090) Standard 4WD: $84,620 ($3,215) Reserve 4WD: $96,530 ($5,090) Reserve L 4WD: $99,555 ($5,090) Black Label 4WD: $111,150 ($6,475) Black Label L 4WD: $114,195 ($6,475) As you can see, there are some healthy bumps compared to launch pricing for the 2022 model year. In 2022, the base model dropped by $5, three other trims rose by a few hundred, one trim rose by $1,760, and five climbed by almost $5,000. For 2023, a $5,000 increase is effectively the norm. Getting a Navigator seems to be a little easier than around this time last year when Lincoln made the model custom order only. Now the warning text reads, "Some models, trims and features may not be available. Please contact your local Lincoln Retailer for updates and assistance." Bring money.
