1993 Lincoln Mark Viii Body With $20,000 Worth Of Racing Parts on 2040-cars
Brigham City, Utah, United States
I gave Chris Alston's Chassisworks....the "obligation" of designing this car to be equipped with the BEST available components for maximum strength and durability. ALL parts were purchased as recommended. Straight body with installed, channeled rectangular frame (for low profile) SOME receipts listed (PICTURES) for high performance parts (never installed) ALL High Performance parts are rated to handle a MINIMUM of 1000 H.P. Complete "Mustang II" front end rated to support 1000 H.P. Big Block. I believe that I have EVERYTHING (All new and Top rated parts) needed to build this car, except the ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVE SHAFT, and FRONT seats.... 16 gal. fuel cell (wired for fuel gauge), wheel tubs, 15 inch Centerline Warrior Aluminum Wheels (16" wide rear and 8" wide front) and tires. Comes with BOTH (new) 3 link and 4 link rear suspension set-ups, and Chris Alston Chassis Works "Fab 9" narrowed 9" Ford (with reinforcement gussets) axle housing and Strange "No Spin, Detroit Locker" 373's.... 32 spline gears and axles. 3 way Adjustable Vari-Shocks with coil-over springs. COMPLETE billet aluminum Wilwood Racing brake system and rotors... too many other parts to list. ALL glass is good and in place. Stance to be low and wide for stability at high speeds. NOTHING in this bumper to bumper package is used, except the Lincoln body itself. All you need to do is: Install all these "top shelf" high performance parts, YOUR engine, trans., and drive shaft, Finish floor around the new frame, finish trunk, install interior and purchase/install the front seats. The parts ALONE cost over $20,000.00 EVERYTHING has been indoor stored, including body. No obvious rust on Lincoln....... This car was intended to be a 9 second 1/4 miler, Street legal, and a top end of over 200 mph. EVERY part I bought was "top of the line". I will send the car if the buyer sets up and pays for shipping. Otherwise, PICK-UP only. |

2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]
Thu, 06 Feb 2014If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]
Fri, 07 Dec 2012Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.
