1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III. I bought this car about three years ago and had it shipped in from California. It still has the black plate on the front. Dual plates are not required in Indiana. I have done quite a bit of work on it since I've had it. I will list these things first, then list what I know needs to be done now. I have replaced both front window motors with new ones. Replaced alternator, complete engine tune up. Changed oil and oil filter, both Amsoil synthetic oil, gas filter, air filter, changed transmission fluid and filter, wiper blades fan belts. Replaced broken turn signal arm with good used one. Replaced worn out lower air conditioner tensioner pulley. replaced driver door switches, driver side tail light lens right rear hub cap. The transmission had a small leak around the seals where the shifter arm goes through the transmission housing. I had a transmission repair shop replace these seals and change the fluid and filter again. They replaced the shifter seals, output shaft o-rings, extension housing gasket, seal and bushing. I am quoting from the repair shop receipt. I have not driven it since these were replaced. It needs to be driven for them to seat and not leak. I moved the car and saw no transmission fluid. I do not know if they have seated. If there is a leak, it should seal after driving it awhile. The receipt is for $183.04. I do not guarantee these or any other repairs and do not guarantee the car, it is sold as-is. The engine runs great, transmission works fine. Drives like a dream. Plenty of power. It flies. Tires have not been replaced since I have had it. They are weathered and should be replaced. The head liner is torn in the rear of the car in two places I believe. After sitting, the power master controls do not all work. I have had the car sit for a long time before and would work with the switches and they did start to work again. They may or may not return to working properly. The front driver seat has several small bad places. The carpet appears to be in good shape. Back seats are in good condition. The driver side window does not completely seal when window is up and door is closed. The window needs to be left down a quarter inch or so until door is closed. Also there is a space between the passenger windows. The radio does work but both door speakers need to be replaced. It plays very low. All the speakers probably should be replaced. The trunk is in great shape. The trunk lid is in very good shape. No apparent rust like most of them. The car was painted at one point. Not since I have owned it. Passenger door has been swiped against the garage entry. This paint may come off with paint thinner or some other paint remover. I have not tried. I have replaced the grille. Very nice. I have replaced the vacuum canisters with used ones but the headlight doors eventually come open indicating a vacuum leak. All the lights and switches did work when I parked it. It has been sitting for a long time and they may or may not decide to work again. The windshield wiper switch was replaced with a used one from a Thunderbird and the wipers don't go all the way down below the windshield. The car looks really good all in all. Drives great. There are some things that will need to be checked/repaired. To my knowledge there is nothing major wrong with it. I have never had any problems with it other than what is listed here. The driver door panel as with most all of the driver side panels needs to be replaced. It is warped and doesn't look very good. Please check out all the pictures, ask any questions you may have. Other than the tires, I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere. It is over 42 years old so I am pretty sure that there are some things that I do not know about that may come up. I have put a new battery in it since I have had it. I have done several things that I do not remember now. Remember, I believe the car is beautiful and road worthy, with the exceptions of the tires, but is has been sitting for several months just being started every couple of months and driven very short distances. Also, the vinyl top has a couple of small defects/tears. Again, the car is sold as-is. No warranties or guarantees. $500.00 is due immediately after end of auction. You can use Pay Pal if you prefer. The balance is to be paid on pick up of the car in cash. No checks/money orders. Cash only. Clear title.

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
