This is a 1964 lincoln which I bought 15 years ago. It has been sitting in a pasture for about 13 of those years, my folks want it out of the pasture so here it is.
I bought this car in San Diego when I was in the Navy, it was originally purchased in Cornado, Ca in 1964 and I have tons of service records from the original owner. I have the original black plates for the car somewhere. The car had 99,000 miles on it when it bought it, the guy I bought it from only owned it for a couple months and I believe he bought it from the estate of the original owner after he died. The car was in Coronado for 35 years, so unfortunately the salty air has given her a little rust.
The car ran pretty good when I was driving it. It would get a little warm in traffic and would use a little water, but that's it. I drove this car from San Diego to Medford, Or in 1999 and it ran great. Enough history; the current condition of the car is rough. Motor will run with a seperate hose to a gas can because the cars gas tank and fuel lines are plugged. It runs as it did years ago but the water pump leaks around the seal while running. The power steering groans a little and leaks. The car shifts and it will run around the pasture, the tires still hold air, it has not been on the road and shouldn't in it's current state. The interior is salvagable, the headliner has dropped, some of the interior chrome has begun to patina from moisture getting in the car. The rust on the body has not gotten any worse, but the trunk lid is just about gone and the hood needs immediate help to be saved. The rockers and floors are solid, doors are good, trunk is solid for the most part with one 4 inch rust hole that is an easy fix. Only real rust is at the bottom of the wheel arches and a little in the rear bumper end caps.
Please help save this car! bid and bring a trailer and own this piece of history and bring it back to life. My reserve is low so please don't ask or make any offers this is an auction.
Thanks for looking, John

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost
Thu, 05 Jun 2014As the first 2015 MKC crossovers slip into dealerships, Lincoln has confirmed power and fuel economy ratings for the compact crossover's optional 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine.
The new range-topping powerplant, thus far otherwise unavailable in the Blue Oval kingdom, will net a healthy 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque from 2,750 revs. Those figures represent gains of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft over earlier estimates, putting the handsome new compact CUV in the hunt with up-engined rivals from Audi and BMW. (A variant of the 2.3L will shortly find its way into the engine bay of the 2015 Ford Mustang, albeit with a number of key changes, including north-south orientation.)
In the MKC, the new engine will net 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it only loses a single mile per gallon in the city cycle versus the 240-hp, 270-lb-ft 2.0L EcoBoost model when fitted with all-wheel drive. Both engines rely on the same six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
