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...

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:

Ford recalls 650,000 trucks and SUVs for defective wipers

Thu, Apr 21 2022

Ford announced earlier this month that it is recalling 652,996 F-Series pickups, Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators produced for the 2020 and 2021 model years to address an issue that may cause their windshield wipers to separate, reducing visibility and leading to potentially hazardous driving conditions.  According to the Blue Oval, one of its suppliers used worn tooling components that resulted in wiper arms being produced with splines that are not tall enough to fully engage the motor pivots they're mounted to, which can cause the connection to strip when the motors are turned on. This could result in the wiper arms not moving at all, or engaging only intermittently.  "Worn wiper arm spline tooling core inserts at the supplier resulted in insufficient spline tooth height, which can cause the arm attachment to strip when used with a certain wiper motors with higher torque," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "Potential symptoms include erratic or slow wipe speed of the driver or passenger wiper arm. An improper functioning wiper arm may potentially result in reduced visibility in certain conditions, which could increase the risk of a crash." Ford says the vehicles were not produced in VIN order, so while not all of the nearly 653,000 vehicles have bad wiper arms, they're all suspect until proven safe. Ford will notify owners of the recall campaign starting in May.  Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Again? Ford issues second 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ seat belt recall

Fri, Aug 16 2019

In 2016, Ford issued a recall for 603,392 2013-2016 Fusions and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZs due to potentially faulty seat belts. Apparently, that wasn't the end of it. Ford announced another recall this week for the same issue, this time covering 108,399 2015 Fusions and MKZs.  In both cases, the seat belt anchor pretensioners are the issue. According to Ford, "increased temperatures generated during deployment of the driver or front-passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner could degrade the tensile strength of the cable below the level needed to restrain an occupant." Basically, heat could weaken the seat belts, and in extreme cases, they wouldn't be able to keep up proper safety standards. Ford knows of at least one injury that has occurred due to this issue.   The recall includes 103,374 vehicles in the United States, 4,002 in Canada, and 1,023 in Mexico. Possibly affected Fusions were built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and January 30, 2015. The MKZs were built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and November 21, 2014.  As a fix, Ford says dealers will add an extra coating to the seat belt pretensioner cable for protection from the heat. If this recall might affect your vehicle, call your local Ford dealership and use recall reference No. 19S25. This news comes after Ford recalled 1.3 million Fusions and MKZs in 2018 due to the possibility that the steering wheels could fall off. Fusions have also been recalled due to the risk of rolling away.
