1962 Lincoln Continental

Up for sale is a great example of an iconic American luxury classic that only continues to increase in value and rarity as times goes on. I've had the pleasure of owning this Continental for a few years now and have done much work to it. It has a freshly rebuilt engine with less than 500 miles since it was dropped in last year. The car drives excellent and has plenty of power to move when you need to. It drives and handles very easy with the factory comfort of power steering and power brakes. These cars are getting harder and harder to find every year and especially in this condition. It's ready to be enjoyed as is and used as a weekend cruiser or daily driver. I have a clean CA title in hand with current registration until August 2014. The car is titled under my name and I'm ready to make a deal with the winning bidder.

I bought the Lincoln about 3 years ago from a Navy friend of mine and have slowly done most of the restoration work to it. The car had been in the previous owner's family since new and I am only the third registered owner. It still has the factory engine and transmission which were rebuilt just last year. I paid $3,000 to have the original 430 rebuilt alone. Car starts on first key turn and doesn't have any mechanical issues. Transmission shifts nice and smooth as well. Interior was all done last year including seat upholstery, headliner, replaced all wood trim, dash detail, trunk carpet, and polished some of the interior trim parts. Dash pad is original and uncracked which is very rare for these cars. Car has all original chrome and stainless steel trim and nothing is missing. Bumpers are original and so is most of the trim, only a few parts have been polished and re-chromed. The car's interior is black leather from factory but the exterior was changed from its original "caspian gold" color to black about 5 years ago. Paint looks good for being a few years old. It has a few paint imperfections from use over the years but nothing major. This car has always been in dry California weather and there are no signs of rust issues anywhere on the car. It's very solid and doors open & close great with no sagging. Car has great lines and spacing between fenders, hood, trunk, and doors. Most of the electrical works including all 4 windows, interior lights, exterior lights, turn signals, wipers, and gauges. The seat only moves forward and back so the control switch needs a rebuild, original AM radio needs new speaker hooked up, and A/C system is due for a service. It blew cold air when I first got the car years ago but since the engine was rebuilt I never got a chance to recharge the system again. Everything is there and the blower system inside the car works perfect. Car has stock suspension but looks lowered because of the smaller tires. I would suggest maybe adding some larger white-wall Cooker tires down the line to give it that factory stance. Car drives and handles well at all speeds. This is not a trailer queen with a $10k paint job or nut and bolt restoration. It's a nice driver quality classic that can be enjoyed as is or used as a platform for someone looking to do a full resto on a 62.

Car is available for inspection during the listing so send me a message with your contact info and I will call you to set up an appointment. It's being sold in AS IS condition with no warranty just like any other classic car. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. The only payment methods I will accept are cash in person, bank wire transfer, or cashiers check but the car stays until your check clears my bank account. This is a NO RESERVE listing and it will sell to the highest bidder no matter what it ends at. View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks!

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.

Trump did talk to Bill Ford, but the Kentucky plant was never moving to Mexico

Fri, Nov 18 2016

President-elect Donald J. Trump has been butting heads with Ford for a while now. A lot of it seems to stem from misunderstanding or misrepresenting facts about how the automaker currently does business and its plans for the future. After a sit-down with executive chairman Bill Ford Jr., the misunderstandings continue, but Trump has apparently convinced the company to make some changes. During his campaign, Trump claimed that Ford was going to fire US workers and move manufacturing to Mexico. That wasn't the case – yes, Ford planned to transfer Focus and C-Max production from Wayne, Michigan, to Cuautitlan, Mexico, but no, that wouldn't mean anyone losing their job. The Wayne plant will continue to operate, and likely busier than before, as it will be the home of the new Bronco and Ranger. So Ford CEO Mark Fields responded with the facts, and then chairman Bill Ford Jr. sat down with Trump over the summer. Things apparently weren't resolved to Trump's satisfaction, so he and Bill Ford spoke on the phone yesterday as he claims in this tweet: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Let's pick that apart. First off, it's not a Lincoln plant, per se – the Louisville Assembly Plant currently builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, two small crossovers that share a platform. Ford was considering moving MKC production out of Kentucky to Mexico, but it would not have resulted in many lost jobs if any – the union had already agreed to moving the MKC in 2015 negotiations, and taking production of the slow-selling Lincoln out of the plant would open up capacity for more Fords. Be that as it may, Ford has decided not to move MKC production out of the plant, either for political reasons of placation or because it didn't make the greatest deal of business sense, maybe a combination of the two. That means Trump isn't really saving any American jobs in the short term. If anything, this move could keep Ford supply-constrained and result in reduced sales, which in turn brings the company less money and affects the bottom line and all employees. But that's speculation, so we won't tweet it. There is of course the possibility that Ford will be convinced, either by sheer will or by a more attractive trade situation, to invest in increased US production, which could bear fruit later on. We are told by Ford that the two men did in fact speak yesterday.
