1966 Lincoln Continental Base 7.6l Rare Original Survivor on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States
|
This is a beautiful example of a mostly original and rare 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This car has had one repaint in it's life and it looks new and factory quality. The original interior is in amazing shape for it's age. This originality of the interior is very desired and adds to the character of the vehicle. One of the most important considerations when purchasing these Lincoln convertibles is the body condition. First this is a rust free car and secondly it is razor straight with a top quality paint job. (There is one door that was fixed and re-sprayed due to a garage ding that is slightly off color but that's it.) This car was garage kept it's whole life as evidenced by the fact that the interior is in such great original shape and the dash has no cracks which is extremely rare on these cars. The '60s Lincoln Convertible master and guru (John Cashman) completely went through this beauty restoring the entire complicated top system as well as all of the window systems including the automatic dropdown that work on very few of these. All that work at a cost of over $4000.00. This was completed 6 months ago. He mentioned that it was one of the nicest originals he has worked on and estimated the value at over $30,000. His favorite years are the 1963 and 1966 convertibles.If you are an OVERSEAS BUYER looking for a Lincoln convertible this would be a good choice especially since the entire top system and window system was professionally restored by arguably the best Lincoln technician being John Cashman. Receipts available. This is probably the two most complicated systems of these Lincoln convertibles. I'm not sure about the cost of expert service in other countries for these systems. Besides the entire top and window system this car has had lots of work done in the last 2 years to make it a reliable driver including all new brakes...brand new manifolds , idler arm, fuel system rebuild, new exhaust system,new shocks, new carpet and much more. This car runs great and steers better than any I have previously driven. I am selling this for a friend that does not have an ebay account. He has invested a lot more $ in this car than he is asking so a good value to the lucky buyer. This car comes with a clear North Carolina title and was previously registered in Florida. |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
