Note: I am relisting this as previous winning bidder never even responded. Please do not waste my time or serious bidders time. If your rating is less than 10 your bid will be cancelled unless you email me with your contact information to ensure no scammers or deadbeats! Great opportunity to own a rare 1963 Lincoln Continental Suicide Door with Factory A/C at a reasonable price! Only 3,138 of these beauties were built and no telling how many are left! This 1963 Lincoln Convertible has had some restoration done but will need a lot of work to finish. The previous owner told me he started the restoration a few years ago and had the car painted but has been outside for 2 or 3 years which effected the paint on the trunk lid and hood and should be redone. Looks like the other panels might be ok with some buffing. He had the engine completely rebuilt by a professional shop in Orlando. I called them and they verified that they completely rebuilt it and in fact remembered that they had a hard time locating some of the parts. I asked for a receipt but they needed a date, which the previous owner did not remember, before they would dig through their files. I have their name and number.I have not started the engine or even attempted to turn it over since it has been sitting outside for so long. I have removed the plugs and filled each cylinder with marvel mystery oil and drained and replaced the engine oil as well. It will be up to the new owner to complete the process. It might be fine but I honestly don't know. Fortunately the interior was at the upholstery shop and not left outside. He had the interior redone as pictured which includes the front and back seats, front door panels and new carpet but never finished the rear door panels which I have with the car. We placed all the new interior pieces in the car for the pictures to show what it looks like installed which is beautiful. There is one small spot on the front seat that needs repair. The dash is very nice with no cracks. The floors are solid (see the pictures) although there was the start of rust on the front drivers floor which we coated with POR 15 which stops any current rust or in the future. I did find some areas of rust underneath the worse being at the left rear underneath the rear bumper area (this definitely needs to be addressed). There is some bubbling around the drivers side rear of the trunk lid that should be addressed. I saw no evidence of any accidents but am no expert. It seems like most of the trim is there but I do not have the time to go through the boxes of parts to see what if any parts are missing. Also I have no idea nor did the previous owner what condition the top mechanisms are in. I would just assume they will need work. The Data Plate reads Body - 74A...Color G...Trim 85...Date 12C...DSQ 16 which indicates it was originally Silver Mink Metallic with a red leather interior. The rare 1963 convertible with Air Conditioning is considered by many experts as the most desirable of any of the 61' to 67's convertibles. This is an opportunity to get into one at a reasonable price. *Please feel free toemail with questions and to setup an inspection of the car. Inspections musttake place before bidding not after. If you do not personally inspect the caror have someone inspect it on your behalf then you must agree to positive feedback.I say this because although I try to disclose everything to my knowledgeconcerning condition of the car my opinion may differ from yours oncertain issues. If you do not perform due diligence on this or any othervehicle then it would be totally unfair for you to leave negative feedbackand ruin my rating because you disagree with something you should have beenaware of before your purchase by having it inspected to your satisfaction ornot.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
