1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan 7.0l on 2040-cars
Yukon, Oklahoma, United States
I am putting up my 1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan w/ the A/C option. This car was brought in from the West Coast 3 years ago from a good friend, and I bought it from him, after a year of begging him to take my money. This Lincoln has about 15% left to be in show quality, mostly body work. I have had the privilege of owning this Lincoln Continental Sedan for almost two years. I have done a large list to the car since I bought it. As always these old classic cars can use a few things. Unless of course you have done a frame off restoration, and if you are looking at this you know what kind of premium they bring. I tried to stay as close to original as I could. I have done a few things off color like the brushed nickel on the air breather and the valve covers. All the power windows work, The A/C has been nearly redone top to bottom. The last piece is the resistor and it will stay ice cold. Right now it gets cold and blows for around 5-10 mins and then shuts off. I checked with Lincolnlandinc and they have the part available. It is time to pass this piece of history on to a car enthusiast who will show this beautiful sedan the love and care it deserves. It needs to be around another 50 years. This 1964 needs very little. You can hop in the car, fire it off, and the 430 M.E.L. 7.0 liter roars to life. It floats down the road like a dream, and still has legs at 80 mph. You will not be disappointed about any part of this Lincoln. I have personally done the following: New timing chain set New water pump New fan New brake solenoid New brake shoes New ignition coil New distributor New points, plugs, and wires Rebuilt the carburetor Ran new fuel pump hose New valve cover seal Refinished the valve covers in brushed nickel Refinished the air cleaner in brushed nickel. Replaced a rear axle bearing and the rear axle seal Rebuilt the drive shaft and put in new knuckles Put in a new A/C clutch Put in new high and low A/C valves Put on new belts Brazed the coolant tank and pressure tested the system Put in a functional stereo with MP3 and AUX
NADA guidelines for classic cars puts high retail at $29,150 For additional pics, videos, or information call Shane at 1-405-669-1172 |

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We were admittedly bullish about the Lincoln MKC Concept when we introduced it to you yesterday, as we were taken aback by how cohesive the C-platform crossover is in the metal. As it turns out, so were you, dear reader. With hundreds of comments booked on our original Deep Dive story, the overwhelming temperature of the Autoblog Commenteriat is one of surprise and delight - quite an accomplishment for a marque that many had written off for dead. The reception here under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show appears to be no less positive, but we thought you might want a second, closer look afforded by these live photos.
Lincoln remains mum on production MKC drivetrain specifics (we're thinking it will start with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder out of its similarly sized Ford Escape relative, or maybe the midlevel 1.6-liter), but we shouldn't have to wait too long. The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept." That's good news, as the MKC is pivotal to Lincoln's effort to rebuild awareness and consideration on the back of its MKZ sedan, a model just now going on sale. In fact, with the small crossover segment exploding, the MKC could very well turn out to be more important to the brand than the MKZ.
After seeing these new photos, are you more or less enamored with Lincoln's new concept? Leave a comment after voting in our poll below.
