1979 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass Edition on 2040-cars
Gaston, North Carolina, United States
|
Offered here in a NO RESERVE auction is a 1979 Bill Blass edition Lincoln Mark V. I have owned this beautiful automobile for over 10 years. During that time the car has been dependable and well cared for. The 400cu. V8 engine runs strong. Transmission shifts smoothly. Body work is pretty much done. Many new parts, including new gas tank, fuel lines, and float last year. Car body is straight. Body side moldings are in remarkable condition. These are usually dinged to death on most cars from this era. Not so here. Beautiful chrome overall. One exception is the passenger side mirror. Chrome on that mirror is fair at best. Car has upgraded Collector Series Ebony wood interior. RARE WORKING AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO. Power windows, antenna, and trunk release work. AC blows COLD. Leather interior is in great shape for its age. Coveted driver side thermometer mirror works! Is illuminated at night. Last year I moved to a lakefront home so this year I am selling my land yacht so I can buy a real boat.
Features that don't work. Power door locks. I replaced the actuators a few years back so its probably the switches on the door panel. Power seats have limited adjustment. Speed control worked until I replaced the steering wheel with one from a Collector Series car. So again, its probably just the switch in the steering wheel pad. This is a used, 35 year old automobile, and as such does not have a warranty. There are typical age related imperfections inside and out. There is a small tear in the headliner above the driver side sun visor. The fiberglass fascia beneath the driver side headlamp cover is cracked. This damage was done by the mechanic shop that rebuilt the carburator some years back. I have a complete new fascia in white that will come with the car if you want it. Pictures of these imperfections have been provided for you to review. I also have the rocker panel moldings that were removed when the body work was done. They are in fair shape and will be included. The canvas top has been replaced and looks beautiful. But car must now be hand-washed. Do not run it through a high pressure car wash. While the car is weathertight and will not leak even in a torrential rain, a commercial high pressure wash will cause water to penetrate the door windows at their top edges. I have tried to cover all possible questions about the car. If you have a question please contact me. I have a clear NC title on hand. TERMS OF SALE.

2020 Ford Explorer nabs IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating after updates
Mon, Sep 21 2020The 2020 Ford Explorer has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the agency's best rating. The redesigned Explorer initially fell short of that mark, however, only making the grade after Ford introduced a running change to the vehicle's design starting in May 2020 — a change made to the 2020 Lincoln Aviator as well. To achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must have a Good performance rating in all six of the agency's crash tests. It also must have Acceptable or better ratings for all of its available headlamps and must earn Advanced or Superior ratings for its automated collision avoidance systems in tests of their performance against pedestrians and other vehicles. The 2020 Explorer initially achieved only an Acceptable performance in the IIHS's driver's-side small-overlap crash test, as the agency found a risk of injury to the driver's left foot due to intrusion into the footwell. Ford subsequently modified the design of the front subframe in a running change to Explorers and to Lincoln Aviators built after May 2020. The modified Explorer was re-tested, and this time the model achieved a Good performance in the driver's small-overlap test. That, combined with a Superior performance in both tests of the standard collision-avoidance system plus Acceptable ratings for both headlight systems, pushed the 2020 Explorer over the goal line to Top Safety Pick+. The Aviator, which shares the Explorer's platform, has received the same modification and achieves the same crashworthiness ratings. However, its standard headlights are judged Marginal, and therefore the 2020 Aviator achieves only the Top Safety Pick rating (even though its optional curve-adaptive LED headlights are judged Good).

Oh look, it's the 2017 Lincoln Continental
Thu, Jan 7 2016Sorry about the super-low-res photo, but what you're looking at here is the 2017 Lincoln Continental ahead of its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. The image appeared online courtesy of Ford Inside News, showing the production version of Lincoln's new 400-horsepower sedan. The front fascia certainly looks different than the gussied-up concept we first saw in New York last year, but as the Ford forum suggests, this could just be a lower-spec model. Seems weird to us that Lincoln would introduce some snazzy, full-LED headlights and then just slap projector beam units on the actual production car. But you never know. We'll know for sure when the car is revealed at Cobo Hall next week. Expect it to have all-wheel drive with the company's new 400-hp, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 (that debuted in the MKZ in Los Angeles). Let us know what you think of the production-spec Conti, in Comments. Related Video:
Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars
Mon, Oct 6 2014U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.
