For sale, listing my 1969 Lincoln Mark III with 54,731 original miles. The car has always been garage kept since new. The car belonged to the original owner for 37 years until i bought it in 2006. This was always a local car in our town, i actually remember when "Mr Adkins" bought it brand new for his wife in '69. The car sat inside their brick two car garage it's whole life, last tagged in 1991 up until we got the car in '06. Upon getting the car we had it tuned up, new battery, went through the brakes, new brake booster and master cylinder,installed brand new dual exhaust,brand new Holly 600 carburetor, ( old one goes with the car ) new air shocks, four new white wall tires on the original rims, ( the rims on the car now don't go with it unless you want to purchase them separate ) The last picture shows the original wheel covers and tires that go with the car. We sent the fuel tank out to Moyer's tanks and had it redone,and installed a new sending unit, the car also has a few NOS parts installed such as turn signal stalk, tail light bezels, had front bumper corners re chromed too.

The car is very dependable, get in and go,The 460 runs great , i drive it to shows and cruise nights all the time. The car looks awesome, I had a beautiful fresh coat of black paint done on the cars already clean rust free body, i almost was not going to paint it but it had some scratches and a couple of door dings etc. and since i wanted to show it we had it painted.

The trunk lid letters go with the car along with a stencil of where they go if the buyer wants to put them back on , i told the painter to leave them off as i think it has a cleaner look without them. The only things i can think of that do not work are the passenger power window, dash lights, Air conditioning does not work, and the 8 track radio does not work.

Buyer is responsible for picking up or arranging shipping of the car.

The car is sold as is where is.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The 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.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
