The good: Paint is brand new. Car was stripped down, all bodywork was done and was repainted. All door jambs and under trunk/ hood painted to match. Engine compartment not painted but doesn't stand out. Interior was stripped down and replaced as well. New: headliner, dash cap, seats front & rear, steering wheel, carpet kit, rear deck recovered.
New mechanical parts: steering box, steering pump, fuel pump, carb, battery, full tuneup done. Motor and running gear are all solid, car runs and drives great. It has a few rattles here and there but no major vibrations or other flaws. Tires are brand new with no signs of wear at all. Doesn't smoke or smell rich, idles smooth and starts right up every time.
The bad: Weatherstripping needs to be replaced. There are a few random parts in the interior showing wear like the pillar cover between the front and back seats, the dash board has a cap cover on it, the original dash under it is pretty rough but with the cap you can't notice it at all. The oil and alternator lights are both on constantly but both have been checked out and are both alternator and oil pressure are check out fine, probably bad sending units? The door panels are in fair condition but should probably be replaced or rebuilt some day. Trunk has not been touched so it's original and needs to be upholstered. The trunk sill and deck lid have been painted so that part isn't a problem, just the trunk area itself is ugly. There is a grill trim piece broken off and can be seen in the pictures. The grill in general is pretty beat and should probably be fixed one day although with the exception of this broken trim piece and a crack in the grill slats, none of this is noticeable from the outside. The tranny has a very small leak coming from around the bell housing area somewhere but isn't bad at all. Paint is new but should probably be wet sanded and polished, looks very presentable, just not quite perfect yet. Shocks are probably shot, I haven't checked them out so they're most likely original.

Lincoln scales back free maintenance
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Complimentary scheduled maintenance programs have been great tools for luxury automakers to draw in new customers, but some are starting to scale their programs back considerably. According to Automotive News, Lincoln is joining Jaguar and Volvo on the list of automakers reducing the length of time it will be providing free maintenance to its customers.
Lincoln's four-year/50,000-mile maintenance program first kicked off as an incentive in 2010 and became permanent later that year, but starting with the 2014 model year, this will be cut to just two years and 24,000 miles. This could make short-term leases even more appealing for some consumers, but according to Automotive News, some Lincoln dealers are unhappy with the scaling back. The move admittedly comes at an odd time for Lincoln, with parent Ford seemingly working hard to increase consideration among luxury buyers as it looks to reverse the marque's long decline.
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.
Why the 2015 Lincoln MKC is 'holding some powder'
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Earlier this month in our first drive of the 2015 MKC, we told you that Lincoln finally had a new vehicle in its arsenal worth crowing about. So with the compact premium crossover now finding its way into dealers, why aren't you seeing its likeness plastered on billboards and barraging you on television? It's because Lincoln is "holding some powder."
Those are the words of Lincoln's global director, Matt VanDyke, who tells Autoblog that the company is holstering some of its marketing guns because it's keen to avoid repeating the ill-timed efforts that blighted its last rollout, the MKZ. That vehicle's launch early last year was beset by various delays related to manufacturing and quality. The cadence issue was so dire that by the time the model reached showrooms in volume, Lincoln had already blown most of its budget on things like Super Bowl ads that ran weeks or even months before customers could check one out in person. It was a particularly trying series of events for parent Ford because the MKZ and its oversized marketing spend were charged with relaunching the Lincoln brand to the public.
Keen to avoid repeating the same timing issue and mindful of consumers' habits at this time of year, Lincoln is taking a different strategy with the MKC. According to VanDyke, "What we don't want to do is try and fight the summertime - people using television being down, and other mass media when school's out. New television shows aren't on." Of course, that doesn't mean Lincoln is sitting idle. VanDyke says, "By no means are we quiet during the next 90 days. This year, we're going to really spend the next 60 to 90 days using digital and social media, in-theater advertising and the like, and once we have full availability at dealerships, we'll really ramp up the advertising later on in the summer." Part of that early media effort includes immersive digital marketing like Lincoln's clever Dream Rides web experience.
