good condition. It does have the typical small crack along left side of speaker
grille. Not sure why but nearly All these Lincolns have a crack there? Must
have been a design flaw? In addition to the interior Cost… We just had ALL
windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches. 1.
All Glass and window regulators etc. were completely removed
from doors, cleaned/ lubricated and reinstalled. 2.
Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly. SEE
PHOTO of Car with Top Down but Windows UP. It shows how perfectly even they are
when in up position. 3.
Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced. This window service was an
additional $2,800 in labor/materials. -Vent fan works, radio works and power antenna goes up and down, as it should. -A/c needs charged/serviced from lack of use. Exterior: -The paint on the car is the factory “A” Code Black. This car has been repainted in its orig. BLACK color. Current condition of paint is good. Not concourse show quality but very nice driver. Buyer should expect to see some flaws in paint / minor dings in paint from storage. A few thin spots here and there where buffer went slightly through paint. Car is rust free and solid. The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted in its original Black color. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process. You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays. Great gloss shine. Good driver+ quality. Black is Beautiful!! Nothing better than an ORIGINAL
factory BLACK LINCOLN! Note 1: When the
car was restored a N.O.S hood was installed. This hood did not have the hood
ornament hole punched. We decided not to install it. I will include the orig.
hood ornament in sale for the buyer which can be easily installed by drilling a
hole for it.(I think it looks great without it) Note 2: We have a load photos of the process showing disassembly avail. By request. - Very dry and clean underneath with no rust! (See photos) -
Chrome on front and rear bumper is driver quality. -
Door handle chrome is driver quality -
All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape Engine: This car starts right up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger. A pleasure to drive! Engine bay is very clean and well kept/ detailed.(see photos) Note: This car has not been driven in past years. We have done some mechanical maintenance to the car to get it ready for sale. It runs great but will still need to be gone thru. -Just had Tune-Up
done to the car including… -new spark plugs -new cap & rotor -new wires -Fresh Lube, Oil & Filter change last week -BRAND NEW White Wall Tires installed last week. CONVERTIBLE TOP: Perhaps the most important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions. This car has just been fully serviced for its top. Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc. Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease and
it is quite the site to see!!! Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in good condition. Still fits nice and is soft. A few minor pinched spots from raising and lowering but nothing to be concerned about. No tears etc. Items noted that still need attention… -High beam light switch sticks -Pass.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
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.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
