For sale is a 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This car is sold as is and the winning bidder assumes all responsibilities. This car was purchased by me on leave from my second tour back in 2005 and has been garage kept since then and to my knowledge, prior to and it's entire life. Due to a new baby in our life I have finally decided to part with this gift to myself for making it out of Iraq. The car was restored prior to my purchase and has roughly ten thousand dollars invested into it, which, to my understanding, largely went to the operation of the convertible mechanism. Currently all parts of that mechanism work, save for one, the hydraulic pump for the rear deck lid. Included in the sale of the vehicle is a brand new pump recently purchased. I am capable of doing many car repairs, but am unwilling to attempt to work on that system for fear of breaking anything. There are a few imperfections throughout on the paint and a tiny piece of the front right trim is missing up near the bumper, and that is visible in the picture of that angle. The AC system also needs to be charged to blow cold air and the engine requires lead additive to run without knocking. Lastly, the rear driver side gas tank convertible top key mechanism is not working. All these imperfections aside, this car, as clearly visible in the included pictures is immaculate and a real head turner and with a little bit of attention to detail could be a trophy winning 100 point show car. The power options on the car all work to include the rear windows that go down slightly upon entering to allow clearance with the top. The doors all line up correctly to new clackers and the body is devoid of rust save for some minor surface patina in a few places underneath. The car also comes equipped with a custom sound system of Boston SL 60 speakers and an SL 80 Equalizer as well as Kenwood Excelon head unit that has an Ipod attachment. I had the sound system professionally installed with careful attention paid to not affecting the original interior in any way, so that if you so desire you can remove the system entirely and bring everything back to stock. The system itself, custom job and components was close to two thousand dollars total but considering the situation with the hydraulic pump I have not in any way included that into the price of the car. The vehicle was recently inspected by Travis' Auto in Suffolk, VA and had a new heater core installed to help with the engine cooling issues, but as with everything else on this car, it is almost fifty years old and prone to temperament. Let these caveats not deter you from the fact that this is a gorgeous, extremely rare car that is truly one of a kind. These cars are iconic, with their "suicide doors" and yacht-like feel. It is a joy to drive, always gets thumbs ups, and with a little bit of work would most certainly win every local car show you bring it to and then some. I am happy to work with the winning buyer to get this car to its finally destination. Please send me any questions or requests for more information and I will answer them as quickly and completely as possible. Good luck!

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Lincoln Corsair's grille is growing in spy photos
Tue, Jul 19 2022We've recently seen the refreshed Ford Escape in spy photos, and it appears its luxurious platform mate, the Lincoln Corsair, is getting a refresh, too. It's a significantly more modest restyle, with one exception: The Corsair is getting a bigger grille. Yes, like so many other makes and models, Lincoln is updating its little SUV with a big grille. The width and even the shape aren't that different than the current model. But it's taller, having been stretched downward into the front bumper. It may now have a thicker lower chrome bar like the Navigator. Besides the grille, the rest of the Corsair looks nearly unchanged. Even the headlights look the same as the current model. The rear is also the same. Photos don't show the interior, but expect that to be generally the same, too, possibly with a larger infotainment screen. With how mild this refresh is, we expect it will be revealed this year as a 2023 model. The Corsair should retain its full range of powertrains including the standard turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder, optional turbo 2.3-liter four-cylinder, and plug-in hybrid 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder.
