1987 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series - Nice! No Reserve! on 2040-cars

Year:1987 Mileage:104200
Location:

Birmingham, Alabama, United States

Birmingham, Alabama, United States

Sorry about the limited pictures, I'll try to get some more up by the end of the weekend.  If you want to see anything specific, feel free to let me know.

Car is nice and well-maintained (I have a very complete file of records going back to circa 1990). However, it is important to remember that the car does have 104K miles on it, so it is not perfect. I am the third owner. Car was first leased in VA for 2 years, then bought by the second owner in NC where it lived from 1988-2011. Options include:

"Glacier Blue Glamour Metallic" paint
JBL Audio System
Leather seats
Wire wheels
Digital dash w/ trip computer
Auto-dimming rearview mirror


What works: pretty much everything except: the power door lock switch (not the lock itself) on passenger door and one of the "tilt" switches on passenger door. Radio works fine/well, but when the volume is adjusted there is some static during the process.

Condition (mechanical): Runs and drives well. Battery is 6 months old. Alternator is about 3 years old. Michelin Symmetry tires, as well as brakes, are about 5 years old with less than 10K miles on them. A/C has been converted to R134 and is cold (I had charged upon delivery a couple Falls back). The only thing negative to mention is that sometimes the engine takes two attempts to start. I assume it is a fuel pressure issue (pump always primes when the key is turned, so I'm not sure if the fuel pump itself is the culprit). There is a new fuel pressure regulator in the glovebox that I've never dealt with. Also, when brake pedal is depressed, there is a "hissing" noise at first - this seems to get better as the drive continues....the car stops fine and the pedal does not feel soft, so I haven't worried about it.

Condition (body): Very presentable. Of course, there are a few small scratches from use, but nothing that really catches the eye. Right front painted bumper filler on side has brushed something lightly. Biggest problem for me is where the vinyl top has pulled away from the molding where it meets the painted part of the body (passenger side C-pillar). This a 4-5 inch section which the previous owner filled with clear silicon (I don't know how to address other than replacing the whole vinyl top which is perfect otherwise). The wire wheels still look decent, but do have slight haze as they always do. These are better than most though, I have to say. Also, the window run channels are dry and disintegrated in places on the outside (inside is fine) - I've looked for NOS ones with no luck.

Condition (interior): Very nice. If you know these cars, you know that the dashes bake quickly and that the integrated speaker covers crack. This car's dash looks new, proving that it has been garaged. The leather interior is very nice, with the driver's seat showing minor wear as expected. The glovebox door has the usual separation at the top (previous owner attempted to glue). Front passenger armrest has slight cracking on corner. Front driver's armrest is badly cracked underneath the color-keyed aftermarket plastic cover (made to fit).

DISCLAIMER:  This vehicle is almost 27 years old, so NO WARRANTY of any kind is expressed/implied.  $500 deposit required via PayPal within 24 hours of winning bid.  Final payment to be made via cashier's check, cash, or personal check (though vehicle can not be released until check clears bank).  Thanks.

One more Lincoln MKX concept teaser drops before Beijing

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

If the teaser video for Lincoln's launch of a new concept at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show wasn't enough for you, the company has now released a shadowy new image on its Twitter page. The vehicle may be a concept for the next-generation MKX, and its launch in China is part of the huge rollout to sell the brand's models there.
The latest photo shows off the concept's lighting, including LED running lights and lit sideview mirrors. The sharp edges of the lights give some hints to its shape. However, Other than clearly being a crossover, not much else is known.
The concept's launch supports Lincoln breaking into the Chinese market. It will begin selling the MKZ and MKC there this fall, as well as a midsize luxury SUV. A fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator will come later. The company will also build luxury showrooms for the models that will look more like high-end hotel lobbies than car dealers. Scroll down to watch the teaser video.

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

Rebranding 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.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
