1997 Lincoln Mark VIII - Custom Metallic Black Paint. Only 19,097 original miles on the car. 


For a 16 year old car it is in excellent condition. 

I bought the car about 2 years ago with 5,995 miles on it, when I purchased the car I had new tires put on the car and had it painted a custom metallic black - there is not another Mark VIII out there like this one! I turn heads every where I go with it. It has just had new brakes and rotors all the way around put on less than 2 months ago and the A/C blows cold.  I have taken pride in keeping this car as perfect as possible.  Oil has been changed every 3,000 miles, seats have had leather conditioner put on them every couple of weeks and the car has always been waxed 2 times a year (just been waxed this week).  I also have only driven in the snow 2 or 3 times (because our other vehicle was broke).  Car has been in a climate controlled garaged since I have owned it.

Most people are wondering why this car being a 1997 has such low miles - The story goes like this - the car was a theft recovery in 1998 (NEVER WRECKED) and was stripped clean.  A local body shop bought the car to repair and resell (since back then this car sold for over $45,000).  They replaced everything on the car but could never get the car to start and run so they parked for a while.  Over a period of 13 years they made several attempts to have different mechanics look at the car, but no one could ever figure out why it would not start.  2 years ago a friend of mine found the car and knew that I had been looking for one and asked the owners if they would sell it - at this point they were ready to send it out for scrap as they had over $20,000 invested into it and could not get it to run, so they agreed to sell it to me.  I have another friend who is an excellent mechanic working on Fords for a living and told me it was one of 4 things wrong with it, but none of them major or costly so I bought the car.  Within hours of getting the car he had it running (started on first crank).  What was wrong - when the car was vandalized they took everything including the tires and rims and when the wrecker pulled the car onto a flat bed it pulled the wires out to the crank sensor - simple as that!  I have drove the car for just under 2 years and have had only a couple of minor problems with it (passengers rotor was sticking) and the clock spring is now not working (quit about 6 months ago).  I have been unable to find one, but it is in no way impossible to get one.  I have been looking for a new one but you can put a used one in the car.  

You may e-mail me any questions that you may have and/or phone number to call you.

I am only selling the car because I am now doing craft shows and I need a truck to carry a tent, grid wall set up and the craft that I make to the shows that I do.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
