Very original low mileage, less than 39,000 miles, 1969 Lincoln Mark III. I bought this car about two months ago. From what I can tell the car really hasn't been on the road significantly since 1987. I have a Odometer Disclosure Statement from March 1987 showing the car had 38,376 miles then. The car when I purchased it did not run, barely rolled because the brakes were essentially locked up and was covered in years of dust from storage in a garage. I have since added a new battery, replaced the points and condenser with a Pertronix electronic unit with Flamethrower coil and distributor cap. I replaced the oil and filter and replaced all the coolant fluids. The transmission pan was dropped and the filter on the C6 automatic replaced. All new transmission fluid has been replaced.
The old gas tank still had varnished gas in it. I dropped the tank, flushed it out and replaced the float and fuel sending unit. Fuel line was also replaced. The remaining hard lines were blown out to insure no blockages.
The rear brakes were rebuilt with new wheel cylinders.
The front brakes were rebuilt with new calipers, turned rotors, rubber brakes lines and rebuilt master cylinder.
The brakes are fine, but still need some adjusting and bleeding.
I have had the car running and yard driven it, but there are still some timing and vacuum issues.
The car really looks good from 20 feet away, but it has it's share of knicks and dings. The white vinyl top is discolored. It is starting to lift along the rear and there is some surface rust where it has lifted. The only real rust out is in the rear bumperettes. There is a small bubbled area along the wheel arch on the rear driver's quarter.
The interior is in great shape. The front seat does have some rips in the leather. The rear seats are great. The dash pad is not cracked. The power seats are working. The power windows seem to work when they want. The drivers side window motor is operating but the window is off track. The trunk is amazing with the original trunk mat, jack and original spare tire.
The car should not be driven it will need to be trailered. The old tires don't look bad and hold air, but they are kind of dry rotted. The car is sold as it no warranty. No reserve auction with a very low opening bid that is basically what I have in the car.
All the air conditioning components are in place, except the compressor belt so I don't know if it works or not.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
