Here are the basic details: 1967 Lincoln Continental 2 door coupe...cranberry metallic red with a white vinyl top the color was changed (originally white) by the original owner but they did a good job as the paint is fully cut in (see pics)......111,000 original miles.....i have owned this for 4 years and love it but want a wagon as I have a baby on the way and so the the toys need to be practical...
solid as hell, great runner, pretty pimp ride to be honest...black leather interior which is in awesome shape with the exclusion of one split (see pics)...body is clean with no filler whatsoever and only has the standard dings expected for its age...the car has always been garaged...radio is craptastic so it is ripe for a boomin' system
this car is actually pretty rare as most folks just scrapped the coupes when they got old...the body size is the same as the 4-door (with the suicide doors), so you can imagine the grand style of a massive coupe...it literally drives like you are commanding a ship that you can steer with one finger while sitting on a leather couch...
only issues are the dent at the right front as shown in the photos...there is a 5" crack in the windshield at the lower right corner but it still passes inspection...there is some surface bubbling near the trim of the vinyl top...at the end of last summer the right front window stopped going in one direction for some reason (although the motor is new), rather than screw with it i just yanked the motor and raise and lower the window by hand as it stays up in any position...a split on the dash pad...and finally I just made (doh!) a small hole in the drivers floorboard which i also took some photos of from both inside and under the car, it can easily be fixed with a 4"x6" plate if you feel so inclined....
it is a great runner and i am driving it right now..
---> i am interested in trades if you are near the NYC area...for vintage station wagons only...must be fully running, driving and on the road at the moment...if you have something awesome send me a message <----
it has a 462" with a C6 trans and has had over $8,000 worth of work last summer alone (have receipts)..but the reserve is FAR LESS than that!!!
here is the short list of all that was recently done:
- engine was taken out and cleaned
- new timing chain set & gaskets
- new front/rear main seals & oil pan gasket
- new intake and exhaust manifold gaskets
- new RH exhaust manifold
- full new welded exhaust from front to back
- rebuilt carb
- rebuilt p/s pump...if you know lincolns this is mounted on the crank and is a total pain in the ass...
- rebuilt fuel pump
- rebuilt transmission with new torque converter
- radiator removed, flushed, sealed, repainted
- new rear axle bearings and seals
- new steel and rubber brake lines
- new steel fuel lines
- new window motors
- new shocks
- new rear brake cyls and shoes
- new steel and rubber fuel lines
- all new belts, hoses, fan clutch
- tires have about 1000 miles on them..
if you have any questions please ask before you bid...if you bid and win you will be required to drop me a $125 deposit (to cover listing fees)within 48 hours as far too many people flake out on purchases...however the remainder you can pay in cash at the time of pick up...shipping is not something that i want to set up so please sort that out a head of time as this is a big car so make sure your carrier knows...

Ford investing $5B in Lincoln
What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
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.
