1979 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass Edition on 2040-cars
Jackson, California, United States
You are viewing a beautiful '79 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass edition. I am the 3rd owner of the car. It only has 31,200 miles. This care is completely ORIGINAL. Everything works on the car except for the clock. The AM/FM 8 track works great but the speakers on the right side do not work. Except for that.....everything works on this car just as installed. The paint is absolutely flawless. It is 100% original. So is the interior. The leather and all of the dash, door panels are just as they were installed from the factory. I bought the car about 2 years ago from the 2nd owner. It was an absolute barn-find. It was covered completely in plastic and had not been driven for a few years. When I got the car I went through it completely. All hoses, belts, fluids brakes, mufflers, bushings were completely replaced and it stands now as a fine automobile that I drive about once a month. I absolutely love this car.......she gets so much attention when I take her out that it is almost embarrassing. I do have documentation to support the mileage on the car,,,,,,it has NOT rolled over. The original owner took off the turbine wheels and replaced them with the true wire wheels that are on the car,,,,,,and let me tell you,,,,,,,I took about 6 hours of cleaning these wheels to get them to look the way they do not.....they are awesome. But now that they are cleaned...it is a snap to keep them that way. This car is absolutely beautiful. The only reason I am considering selling her is because I am relocating from California back to Maryland. If I do not get an acceptable offer to buy her,,,,,I will ship her back to Maryland. I have 2 years of service records to support my claims plus I have the documents to support the mileage. Email me with any questions you might have.......I absolutely LOVE this car and really do NOT want to sell her.....but let's see what happens. Questions....ask me....I'll be honest . I will include as many photos as I can. Thanks folks.....let me know. The car is for sale locally, so it may end early.

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A 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.
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's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
