Offered here is a 1979 Bill Blass Edition Mark V. 130391 original miles! Garage kept since I bought it in 2003. I have been slowly restoring this beautiful automobile. Its been in storage for the past three years. Now I am moving and can't take it with me. I have nearly 10K invested in its restoration. I recently started driving it again to limber it up. I gave it to my mechanic to go over thoroughly. The battery, solenoid, gas tank, gas float and tail pipe was replaced. Rebuilt carburetor. Front end alignment is less than 30 days old. The 400 cu. inch V8 engine runs smoothly with good power. The transmission shifts smoothly. The AC was recharged and blows cold. Power windows work. (I have both side replacement door glass panels I will throw in FREE if you want them.) The body work has all been done. Car is ready for paint. The grille housing and hood ornament were NOS parts when installed 4 years ago. I installed the gold grille insert pulled from a Collector Series car. Upgraded Collector Series Ebony Wood interior includes matching steering wheel with inlaid ebony trim. The car has a VERY RARE OEM AM/FM Stereo Radio with WORKING CASSETTE. I had the unit completely rebuilt by a shop in Richmond, VA. Power antenna works. The overall chrome on the car is beautiful. Only real exception is the passenger side mirror. The body side molding is NEAR MINT. Most moldings on these cars have been dinged to death over time. NOT THE CASE HERE!!!! White leather interior is in very good condition. Carpet is still rich blue. Tires have good tread.
KNOWN DEFECTS: There is a small tear in the white headliner above the driver side visor. See photo. One other blemish is the fiberglass nose piece that includes the concealed head lamp covers. The carburetor mechanic cracked the lower edge beneath the headlamp covers on the driver side. See photo. Buyer can either choose to repair this in place. OR. I have available for FREE a new complete assembly in white! The power door locks and power trunk release no longer work. I believe it may be the switches regarding the door locks since the actuators had been replaced. Passenger side mirror chrome is pitted. Clock runs, but does not keep time. This of all too common. The clock can be rebuilt. I just never got around to it. Additional pictures are available upon request. Car is located in Williamsburg, VA and is available for viewing and can be test driven. Contact me for details.

Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up
Tue, 12 Feb 2013Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.
Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Launching 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.
Lincoln MKC Concept shows real promise [w/video]
Sun, 13 Jan 2013Ford's efforts to resuscitate its moribund Lincoln luxury brand began in earnest with the introduction of its 2014 MKZ sedan, a model many labeled as the marque's make-or-break offering. Of course, one model does not a comeback make, and with the MKZ just now starting to trickle into dealers, it will be some time before America's jury of consumers comes in with their judgment. More to the point, it's likely to take better than a decade's worth of products and sustained marketing effort to even begin to figure out whether Lincoln has a shot at redemption or if it will die of Mercury poisoning. After all, rival General Motors has been pouring resources into Cadillac since the late '90s, and if the sales charts are any guidance, it's still probably too early to declare its rebirth a success.
Certainly, a brand with Ford's resources, free of distractions (read: the now-defunct Premier Auto Group and various other side projects) should be able to successfully market a single luxury brand, particularly one with such a rich - if distant - history. Especially now with the Blue Oval enjoying more consumer goodwill than at any time in recent history. So let's all give Alan Mulally and friends a little room to work, eh?
We can start by focusing on the compact crossover seen before you, the Lincoln MKC Concept. Riding atop the same global C-platform that underpins the Ford C-Max, Escape and Focus, the MKC showcar here presages a production small CUV that will stick its distinctive nose into one of the auto industry's fastest-growing segments.
