1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV, unrestored mostly original condition, vehicles weighs just short of 5,000 lbs of All-American sheet metal. Engine 460-V8 7.5 liter is original and unrebuilt except for replacement carburetor. 1972 was the first year for engines with hardened valve seats to run on unleaded gas but was the last year before compression ratio's went down. 1972 is considered the last year of the american muscle car. There is no catalytic converter or emissions required on this vehicle (except in California). Starts and runs well, burns some oil but doesn't knock, the engine still has A LOT of power and torque even though it is 40 years old. Transmission attached to motor is also original and shifts nice and smoothly and reverse gear works fine. I have driven the car and it mostly works well, turn signals, brakes, etc... but I noticed that when it shifts through the gears the back end of the car feels like it 'moves' a little bit and is an unsettling feeling. A/C works and doesn't make any noise but it needs a re-charge (R-12). Power Windows and Seats work except the drivers seat won't move forward or back but it still will tilt. The paint is original and body appears to NEVER have been worked on. There is body cancer above the rear drivers wheel and also around the back window and trunk, the buyer needs to look at the car to determine what they think the extent of the rust damage may be. A brief inspection of the underside looks ok with some rust but not very much rot or cancer. The wheels that came on it are chrome 20" and are pretty much junk and need to be replaced, the tires do have tread on them. Bids start at $1000.00 and the buy it now price is $3000.00 there is NO RESERVE. FULL PAYMENT DUE WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE, deposits are non-refundable. all statements about vehicle condition are believed to be true by seller but vehicle is sold 'AS IS' WITH NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEES. owner/seller contact Jack (941) 661-1848 in sunny Port Charlotte, Florida.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
