For sale is my 1976 Lincoln Mark IV Emillo Pucci Designer Series. I bought this Lincoln from the original owner who puchased his Mark IV Lincoln in November of 1976. This Lincoln Started it's life in Norh Carolina and then the owner moved to Phoenix, Arizona where the Lincoln has been ever sense. The previous owner supplied me with all the maintenance and restoration records going back to 1994. I too was concerned about the high mileage until I went through the records and looked at the condition of the car. For a 38 year old Lincoln it is in very good condition. I have done the following repair to ensure the Lincoln was road worthy and safe.

I have four new tires installed

Changed the motor oil

Installed new rear brakes inculding one new rotor and caliper assembely.

rebuilt steering colume and installed a nice clean steering wheel

Replaced drivers door panel

This Lincoln Mark IV drives very well. Starts after two pumps of the gas pedal when cold, and auto choke works well. The engine runs smooth and cool down the Arizona road with no noise or  issues. The Lincoln tracks well with no directional pulls or correction needed.  The brakes stop this large vehicle well with out noise or pulling sensation. The transmission shifts through all gears smoothly with no hessitaion.  The A/C is complete and converted to R134 but will require a recharge(blows Cool but not cold). All the power windows, sunroof, and seats work.  Let review the condition of my Mark IV from a 1 to 10 scale 1 being the worst.

Exterior Condition (8) The Lincoln was repainted in 2007 and looks as good in person as does the photos. The car is a 5 footer and small imperfections can be found such as crack in the paint by the vinyl roof. a small bubble about the size of a pea on the left front fender. no body damage found or major rust issues. Vinyl top in excellent condition as well as the plastic bumper fillers.  All trim is in place and undamaged but could use some trim clips in areas.

Engine and transmission (8) Engine and transmission operate well under idle and load. Blue smoke can be seen on initial start up wich is indicitive of valve guide seals. Have receipts showing R&R of engine and transmission in 2005. All oem equipment still in place and functional.

Suspension and Brakes(9) Rear brakes new and front brakes have 40% life. I have front end receipts showing ball joints and tie rods, alignment being done. Shocks are fair and optional to be done at this time.

Interior(7) A/C needes a recharge is the main reason I gave this Lincoln a 7. Seats are excellent, but have small tear in drivers seat about an inch long. Could be stitched up due to location of the seam. headliner is starting to sag above the passenger. As stated I replaced the drivers door panel due to sun damage and the steering wheel. The dash has cracks but is covered by a dash mat. The original stereo has been replace by an new AM/FM/Cassette and sounds good.

This brings the over all condition of this vehicle to an (8) Nada Classic Car guide gives this vehicle a low value of $5,850.00 and a high around $11,000.00 I have tried to descibe this vehicle as detailed as possible so not to give anyone a surprise. This is a beautiful  Lincoln and will bring lots of attention at car shows.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
