Original miles, family owned 1964 Lincoln Continental purchased new by my parents and still in the family as of now. Other than exterior paint (re-painted about 20 years ago), rear interior carpet and trunk hinges, I believe this Lincoln to be all original and has been garaged its entire life. In my Dad's later years the car was driven a few miles here and there, other than that he kept it covered and started/running in the garage. The only negative thing I'm aware of is that in 2006 there was a small engine fire due to a leaking fuel pump and bad spark plug wire (both discovered my me). It would appear the fan blew gas down the driver side of the engine (which sits at a slant) where it found this wire (closest to the firewall) and ignited. When it burned it apparently affected mostly that and another spark plug wire, another hose, the accelerator spring and various vacuum hoses. From what I understand the car was not properly insured so a claim was never filed for repair and the car sat for a while before I was ever told about what happened. Through all that time the battery still held a charge, so when I finally got the chance I did all I knew to do (basic mechanics) with my brother and we got the car running again by repairing the fuel pump, all spark plug wires, plugs, etc.

Things that have been ultimately affected are the climate controls, accelerator spring/linkage and transmission shifting, which I'm told is likely the vacuum advance(?) but I'm not certain. I can tell you the car starts, runs very well and drives straight down the road in the little bit it's been driven. All gears engage and there is no slipping, although there is a lag in accelerating as the accelerator pedal needs to be depressed for about an inch before it will react. As you're driving, if the accelerator is released @ approx. 50 mph (or climbing), it will immediately down shift into the lower gear until you're just over that speed, then it stays in the higher gear. When coming to a stop it seems to down shift as it should. I believe the transmission is fine but does need a new seal on the pan as it leaks and I'm sure it's quite old. Also, a new oil pan is needed as the plug is stripped and a replacement will come with the car. Most of the exhaust appears near new as it was replaced prior to the fire, tires appear good (+ 80%), brakes seem fine.

From what I can tell all lights/electrical works, the radio just works ok & the clock does not work. The AC did not work prior to the fire, I assume it's in need of charge but is all connected as it should be. The front seat motors work but seems the forward/backward movement is off track. All windows seem to work except driver rear, door locks lock better than they unlock and I think the hose that releases the parking brake is loose/disconnected as I can hear air in that area...the manual release works fine. The seats were covered in the 70's so there is average wear/tear to all seats, headliner, dash, doors, etc. are near perfect.

All in all I would say in most need is the vacuum work. As for restoring, I'm sure the engine could use a good cleaning as well as the whole car could use a good detail. Other than that, I would say this is a restoral dream since it's already in such original question and needs little to get there.

Two sets of original keys, original manual, sales paperwork, original CA black & gold plates and custom car cover will come with car. I will post &/or send more pics as requested as well as any updates. I am able to assist in shipping scheduling.

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.

Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.
