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 MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
Thu, 25 Apr 2013If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.
