1989 Lincoln Mark Vii 5.0 H.o., Rat Rod, For Resto, Parts on 2040-cars
Rossville, Illinois, United States
|
This car was a show car/daily driver. I am selling this car because I bought another Hot Rod. This car is in excellent mechanical shape with 50,000 miles on the engine, trans, and rear-end. The engine is a 5.0 H.O. and has the following mechanical specs; 9.5-1 compression ratio, Stock Roller Cam, 65mm throttle body, plenum spacer, Ford Racing push rods, throttle body enhancer, hypo under-drive pulley, Roller rocker arms, after market headers, Ford racing wires, reverse trick flow mufflers, and is rated at 300-350 h.p. (est) Ford Racing 3.73 rear end, shift kit, flex fan. I did have a minor fender bender with it which I fixed. I put a new fender on it , fixed the header, hood and put a new bumper on it. This car would make a perfect rat rod, project car, work or parts car. Loaded with options, most work except, door locks, d/s window (it gets power but wont go up or down.) cruise, power trunk, one power mirror works, the heater/ac console, the air ride suspension has a mind of its own, but has newer air bags, the power brake booster works when it wants, or else works like manual brakes. ABS doesnt work, (I have another master cylinder) cracked windshield, the paint job need to be wet sanded and re-shot with clear, there is some clear chipping off of the paint. Rusting out (mildly) at the bottom of the fenders and need a new ignition switch. The A/C clutch has a weak spring, otherwise, it holds a charge. I am taking the radio and antenna off of it. The doors, hood, and trunk show no signs of rust. The interior door panels are in good shape. I re-dyed the carpeting which needs touch-up, and covered the header, visors and head-liner with a silk-like material. The dash is cracked. The front seats were recently reupholstered. The back seat is in good condition. Rugs are in good condition. The trunk is clean. I have described this car to the best of my ability. I make no warranty or guarantee of this car , implied or otherwise. Car sold as is. This car is drivable. You will have to change the ignition switch or hold on to it or jam it with something to keep it totally on the on position. Please contact me with any questions or additional pics. This car is fun to drive and handles real well and it‘s fast. Also has excellent mid-range and top end. The engine and trans are worth more than I am asking for this car. Buyer is responsible for their own pickup arrangements. |

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
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.
