1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Rumson, New Jersey, United States
1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible I purchased the Lincoln on ebay about 2 years ago from the
previous owner in Florida. An ex Red
Socks pitcher. I’m unsure how many owners
there were prior to him but might have only been one. The car is in great running condition. Starts and runs excellent. It cruises and has a very comfortable ride. Heat and AC work. Odometer reads 30,489 miles. I was told the engine was rebuilt but don’t have any paperwork on it. My guess is the car has 130,000 miles. Work I’ve had done since I’ve owned the car: Tune Up (oil changes, filters, etc) New Coil, plug wires, and plugs New Coolant hoses New power steering hoses New Tires New Steering box and alignment New Header Gaskets New Breaks The top works great and trunk lid. Windows work as well but need new window switches. Most of the switches are shot but I have had the windows working. They go in and out. I only drive it in warm weather so typically just get the windows down and keep them down. Garage kept so that works for me. The top is in good condition but has one small hole. Paint is shot and interior could definitely us a refreshing. Front passenger seat is the worst. Rear seat is fine. Could use new carpet but it’s not terrible. With a new paint job and interior the car will be a looker and/or flip for good profit as I’m pricing the car to sell. I have the owner’s manual, two sets of keys, paperwork on any of the repairs I had done, and a car cover. Car has clean title. Don’t hesitate to call me on my cell with questions.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
