1958 58 Lincoln Continental Mark Iii Convertible Not A Cadillac on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
|
I have owned this California Nevada rust free car since 1988, has old Nevada title, always dry storage. All the work done in the pictures is four years old or less, all the upholstery and all the restoration parts such as weatherstrip were purchased within the last four years also, Everything is fresh! The car is complete with lots of extra parts included, it is missing the hood ornament, a two hundred dollar replacement, plater lost it. I'm selling this car because I need the funds to finish other cars also nearing completion. Obviously this car is selling at a loss, basically you would be paying for the work done as seen in the photos, the car itself and all the parts I bought new and used would be free. The asking price is about fifty cents on the dollar.
The car comes with. New base coat clear coat bare metal respray. New rebuilt .30 over engine, rebuilt trans, new motor and trans mounts, recored radiator, new glass (not windshield and back glass, both are good). New weatherstrip, new leather upholstery with completely redone and cleaned seat frames and springs, all new interior vinyl panels ready to install. New black convertible top and pads (not installed), new carpet and padding, new trunk lining kit, new sill plates. All new suspension (installed) including, ball joints and tie rods, new coil springs front and rear, all new bushings front and rear. All new brake parts (not installed) including, shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, hoses, rebuilt booster and master, all drums original and in excellent condition. All the stainless was polished and repaired as needed, included is NOS rocker stainless trim in nos wrap (not on car). 99% of the chrome has been replated, a few parts were lost and I bought replacements, these are the trim pieces that mount to the trunk lid. These good parts need plating. Convertible frame and rear window assembly are installed in car. More Installed new parts include, all new hydraulics for the top, pump, hoses and lift cylinders. All new window motors. Also included are four beautiful restored Continental hub caps(look new), standard Continental caps as seen in period advertising. Besides the obvious assembly .Things that need to be done. Recover dash soft trim, restore steering wheel, paint and install dash (includes new gauge cluster lens), refurbish rust free gas tank. rebuild starter motor and generator or just clean and use. Rebuild carburetor, power antenna needs rebuild, includes two very good grills, one a little better than the other, it needs to be polished . All the removed parts are in marked boxes and bags. I'm a pretty organised guy so there shouldn't be any significant problems with missing parts. Overall I think I covered it, but it's hard to remember everything. Have a question just ask, need more pictures, no problem. I would estimate that a serious experienced car guy could have this car done this summer. Good flip for the right person. I would encourage serious buyers to come and see the car before you buy it. I will consider CLOSE offers, but please, don't waste my time with low balls, I will not respond. $2000 dollar cashiers check deposit, wire transfer the balance before car is released. This 58 Continental is sold as is, where is. Buyer responsible for all shipping charges. email me at atrip3@yahoo.com |

Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up
Tue, 12 Feb 2013Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.
Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
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.
