1983 Lincoln Mark Vi Continental 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Brea, California, United States
|
For auction at LOW RESERVE is my 1983 Lincoln Mark VI, which is a California rust-free car with very low miles (>38k) and very little wear. The beautiful graphite plush leather interior is like new, soft and supple. Like sitting on a nice leather couch. The interior shows no wear. Dash, carpet, etc. in great shape. New floor mats. The original black over silver paint is bright and shiny, as is the chrome. Vinyl roof is new condition. Only a few minor paint blemishes, you'd never guess the paint is 31 years old! I just replaced the aging pinstripes, and the new ones are sharp looking! The car rides and drives like my new Lincoln. The A/C blows ice cold. The tires, battery, brakes are new. The car has been completely serviced (including the transmission) and runs as it should. The only weak point on these engines is the water pump, and a new one was just installed. The car instantly starts. It smoothly, and quietly, glides straight down the road. You will be pleased with the mechanical condition. Any negatives? I ordered a new power antenna for it; the previous owner left a new one for me to install, but it did not work. Guess what-the one I ordered had motor failure also and I just sent it back. So you can deal with it, they are inexpensive and easy to install. The right door lock is hard to lock at times, may be just an adjustment. Otherwise the Mark is good to go anywhere. So why am I selling such a nice car that I've had only a short time? I just found and bought the muscle car of my dreams, as luck would have it, right after I bought the Mark VI. I'm out of room because I have several other classic 50's cars, and at my age (just started getting social security) I've got enough cars to keep up with. Something has to go! So I'm thinning the herd. The car is being sold "As is-Where is", meaning you arrange for pickup and shipping at your expense. I can refer you to a local shipper who has given me excellent service on many occasions. There are no warranties. either express or implied. A non-refundable $500 deposit through Pay Pal is required within 24 hours. Balance is due via wire transfer or cashier's check before the clear title and car is released to the buyer. The Mark VI easily passed the recent CA smog test, if that is a concern for you. Burned as clean as a new car. Please bid responsibly and realize the RESERVE IS LOW; once you hit it, you are obligated to pay for it, so be serious! Please e-mail with questions or contact me at 714-469-9517. The car is available locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
