2001 Lincoln Ls 3.9 V8 One Owner, All Luxury Options, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Port Charlotte, Florida, United States
2001 Lincoln LS 3.9L V8-32V This is a one non-smoking owner Lincoln LS that we bought for my wife in 2002. It was to replace our 1962 Lincoln continental of the same color. This car has been treated like one of the family since it was new, however we now have too many cars and this one needs a new home at 108,000 reliable miles. The car is an '01 LS which is loaded with all luxury options including Advance Trac stability enhancement system, a power moon roof, heated seats and the audiophile ALPINE entertainment system with 6 disc changer and an extra magazine. This stylish touring car is loaded with standard features also, which attracted us when the car was sold. They include 8 way power lumbar seats, auto dim rear view mirror / compass, folding rear arm rest, full wood and leather trim interior in as-new condition, dual stainless exhaust, message center, power tilt/telescope steering column, traction control, fog lamps, autolamp headlamps, independent aluminum front and rear suspension in a hard to find rear wheel drive platform. The car is very quick and agile with the independent RWD chassis. I also like the fact that many of the suspension and body parts are aluminum for less weight. We purchased a set of 5 new 17" factory silver star alloy wheels when the car was new and these have been on it for most of it's life. Right now it's wearing some very quiet and good performing Continental DWS tires which I have found to be of very good quality. The car has been maintained since new in my shop, we only used synthetic lubricants for the rear diff, automatic transmission and of course the engine which runs like new. I have replaced all of the ignition coils with Motorcraft FORD units as well as the valve covers and gaskets which are problematic on these cars. I have replaced the alternator once with an OEM Motorcraft part and also upgraded the automatic transmission valve body with the Sonnax spring kit to repair this problem area. The interior leather surfaces have been regularly treated with Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner and the hides are still in excellent codition throughout as you can see. There are a few areas that have tightened up from drying in the sun here of Florida and may eventually need attention but the interior is like new! Title is 3rd print, one to Ford Motor Credit, One to me in Massachusetts and one to me in Florida. The 21 records you see are annual inspections, required in Mass as well as only one minor bumper cover incident on the front of the car, see condition / description for details. Jeff 9418303137 |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
