1958 58 Lincoln Continental Mark Iii Convertible Not A Cadillac on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
|
I have owned this California Nevada rust free car since 1988, has old Nevada title, always dry storage. All the work done in the pictures is four years old or less, all the upholstery and all the restoration parts such as weatherstrip were purchased within the last four years also, Everything is fresh! The car is complete with lots of extra parts included, it is missing the hood ornament, a two hundred dollar replacement, plater lost it. I'm selling this car because I need the funds to finish other cars also nearing completion. Obviously this car is selling at a loss, basically you would be paying for the work done as seen in the photos, the car itself and all the parts I bought new and used would be free. The asking price is about fifty cents on the dollar.
The car comes with. New base coat clear coat bare metal respray. New rebuilt .30 over engine, rebuilt trans, new motor and trans mounts, recored radiator, new glass (not windshield and back glass, both are good). New weatherstrip, new leather upholstery with completely redone and cleaned seat frames and springs, all new interior vinyl panels ready to install. New black convertible top and pads (not installed), new carpet and padding, new trunk lining kit, new sill plates. All new suspension (installed) including, ball joints and tie rods, new coil springs front and rear, all new bushings front and rear. All new brake parts (not installed) including, shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, hoses, rebuilt booster and master, all drums original and in excellent condition. All the stainless was polished and repaired as needed, included is NOS rocker stainless trim in nos wrap (not on car). 99% of the chrome has been replated, a few parts were lost and I bought replacements, these are the trim pieces that mount to the trunk lid. These good parts need plating. Convertible frame and rear window assembly are installed in car. More Installed new parts include, all new hydraulics for the top, pump, hoses and lift cylinders. All new window motors. Also included are four beautiful restored Continental hub caps(look new), standard Continental caps as seen in period advertising. Besides the obvious assembly .Things that need to be done. Recover dash soft trim, restore steering wheel, paint and install dash (includes new gauge cluster lens), refurbish rust free gas tank. rebuild starter motor and generator or just clean and use. Rebuild carburetor, power antenna needs rebuild, includes two very good grills, one a little better than the other, it needs to be polished . All the removed parts are in marked boxes and bags. I'm a pretty organised guy so there shouldn't be any significant problems with missing parts. Overall I think I covered it, but it's hard to remember everything. Have a question just ask, need more pictures, no problem. I would estimate that a serious experienced car guy could have this car done this summer. Good flip for the right person. I would encourage serious buyers to come and see the car before you buy it. I will consider CLOSE offers, but please, don't waste my time with low balls, I will not respond. $2000 dollar cashiers check deposit, wire transfer the balance before car is released. This 58 Continental is sold as is, where is. Buyer responsible for all shipping charges. email me at atrip3@yahoo.com |

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
2015 Lincoln MKC aims to rejuvenate the brand... again
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Ford is slowly but surely attempting to revitalize the Lincoln brand, with the new MKZ sedan pointing the way forward for the Blue Oval's struggling luxury division. Here at the LA Auto Show, Lincoln is showing the next new product that aims to give the brand new life, the 2015 MKC crossover.
The MKC is based on the trusty Ford Escape, but this is far more than just a rebadge job. Lincoln has used completely new sheetmetal here, with the brand's familiar split-wing grille front and center, and a classy, wraparound tailgate with super slim taillamps that span the width of the hatchback. It's one of the better applications of Lincoln's new design language we've seen thus far, and the end result is a taut-looking crossover that is at the same time both modern and luxurious-looking.
Further differentiating itself from the Escape, the MKC packs an all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, good for 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. (On the base end, Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 240 hp and 270 lb-ft is available.) The MKC also uses a new Continuously Controlled Damping adaptive suspension, and is available with both front- and all-wheel drive.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
