Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, United States
|
1967 Lincoln Continental 4 Door Sedan with "Suicide" Doors - Only 42,000 MIles! This is a 100 percent stock and complete, unmolested rare find. MECHANICAL: - Runs/drives/shifts/stops/starts fine - Recent complete tune-up (plugs/points/wires etc) and fluid change - Recent new brake parts/repairs (brake pedal return might need more lubrication as car was in storage for many years) - Newly-rebuilt original carb - New electric fuel pump/fuel lines/gas tank clean out - Several new front-end parts - Does have exhaust noise at manifold (typical on these cars) BODY: - SUPER STRAIGHT sheet metal!- no dents or noticeable dings - Finished in original "champaign metallic" color (repainted once with fading on top surfaces and scratches/chips here and there) - Black "embassy" roof (replaced in past and fading/some minor cracking on top/minor pulling away from one side of windshield pillar) - Some minor rust along trunk lip, on lower bottom of passenger rear door, under vinyl top, and along both rear lower quarters (see pics for close-ups) - floors/frame etc all fine - Driver quality chrome/brightwork (some fading on bumpers). - Needs trunk lock re-installed (have it in a box) INTERIOR: - All original black cloth interior with no rips/tears in seats or door panels (except minor cracks on driver door panel arm pad) - fabric has some sun fading on corners (see pics) - Dash has crack along speaker edge (as almost all 67 Lincolns have) and fading - Original carpet is in good shape - couple of worn spots here and there - Headliner has a couple small holes (where it looks like something poked it) ELECTRICAL: - Radio (factory AM) and power ant. working great - Lights (headlights, parking lights, taillights, brake lights, dash lights) all working great - Windows are not working (switches may need cleaning as car was in storage many years) - Wipers work sometimes but seem to have faulty/sticking switch - Power seat working fine Overall, this is a terrific, all stock, super straight, LOW mileage, highly-collectible "suicide door" Lincoln that just needs some window/exhaust repairs and cosmetic refreshing/restoration to be either a nice driver or great restoration piece (with more work). I just do not have the time to work on this one at this point. Please ask ALL questions BEFORE bidding as the car is NOT 100 percent perfect show piece and is not being held out as such - please feel free to come inspect the car before bidding as the car is sold AS IS with no warranties, express or implied. Given the brake light issue, the car should likely be transported. I am not interested in any trades. Thanks! |

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
Lincoln putting perfume on its sales
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Lincoln has a scent. But unlike those from Mustang, Lamborghini or even Shark by Tara, you can't buy it and you have to visit a Lincoln dealership to inhale its notes of jasmine hedione, mate tea leaves and tonka beans. Essence of Lincoln - that's what it's called - is being piped through the ventilation systems at some showrooms to help "create an emotional connection between the luxury brand and its customers," and olfactorily promote the idea of "luxury and warmth." Where it's not run through the ducts, visitors can sample it on scent cards.
Master perfumer Rene Morgenthaler worked with aroma house SensoryMax to design Essence of Lincoln. Also including traces of Earl Grey bergamot and green tea, whenever you encounter it you're meant to enjoy "a feeling of belonging to an exclusive, forward-thinking group that values style and success." And then buy an MKC. There's a press release below with details and an image to explain more, if you're still having a little trouble smelling the orange blossoms.
