For Sale:
1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 2dr Coupe. Aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32 valve 4 cam aluminum Cobra Motor, 4R70W Heavy Duty 4 speed automatic trans, aluminum drive shaft, 4 wheel disc brakes, posi-traction, independent front and rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and dual exhaust. Equipment includes JBL stereo system with 8 speakers, power antennae, p/seats, p/windows, p/mirrors, auto dim rearview, p/trunk release, p/fuel door, p/moon roof, climate control, onboard computer, leather interior, bucket seats with console and floor shift and more. I purchased this car from the estate of a deceased gentleman. It was parked for 2 years. I performed the following to get it road ready: Flushed the gas tank, replaced the fuel pump, changed/flushed all fluids and filters, including 12 quarts and filter for trans, replaced every hose, belt, sensor, EGR valve, plugs and wires, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, battery, starter, alternator, wiper motor, climate control head, rearview mirror assembly, power antennae motor. I then replaced the driver's power seat motor, added a nice Kenwood CD player, and Safelight put in a brand new windshield. With the car running perfectly, and the trans shifting like brand new, I completely removed the troublesome air-suspension, and replaced it with a Strut Masters conversion kit. All control arms, shocks, springs, ball joints, tie rods ends and sway bar links and steering components are new. I then spent $2000.00 on the wheels and tires you see pictured. I have over $9000.00 invested in this car. The motor and trans are great. No noise, no smoke, no leaks of any kind, great oil pressure, runs cool. Trans shifts like is brand new, when I pulled the valve covers to change the gaskets, the heads were unusually clean; the factory dual exhaust is tight and quiet. The odometer shows 155K. The car is very responsive, and I don't recommend it for a brand new driver. The blue leather interior is nice, no rips or excessive wear, no cracks on the dash. All the lights work. Lifelong North Carolina car, absolutely rust free. Everything other than what is listed below, works. A/C probably needs a charge, Cruise control needs fuse or relay, bad ground on fuel gauge. Needs to be driven. It has been sitting for a long time. All listed repairs and additions have taken place within the last 100 miles, but over a period of 2 years. It was regularly started, and I have put a few miles on it recently. It has some dings, scratches and the clear coat is peeling off the roof. The ABS light is on, but the brakes are fine. (I was told this is common when converting the suspension). Airbag light also flashes once in a while. Nice car you can drive as-is while you finish restoring, or use the very desirable drive train for a swap project. I have done a lot of work on this car, and have described it to the best of my ability. Needs some minor TLC from someone who loves cars. Clear title in hand, vehicle is not registered, but if you can get a dealer or transporter plate, I would not hesitate to drive it away. Car is for sale locally, must sell, lost storage. $500.00 non refundable deposit due through pay pal within 72 hours of purchase, remainder upon delivery. |

2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick
Mon, Dec 16 2019The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video:
Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off
Wed, Mar 14 2018When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
