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! |

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022
Tue, Jun 15 2021If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids. Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs  |  Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs  |  Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.  Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns
Tue, Dec 29 2015Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
