1998 Lincoln Mark Viii, Showroom Condition, New Suspension, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
The Autocheck report is clean. I will send it to you upon request.
Private owner, very clean Lincoln Mark VIII LSC. This is a classic, always garaged and the paint is like new. The interior has no sun damage, the dash is perfect. Just passed state inspection, no Check Engine Light. Owned it since Christmas, 2006 as a present for the wife. See pictures for two local cars for sale at dealers for much more money, or many more miles. Just had the air ride suspension removed and replaced with an Eibach spring and KYB strut sport tuned suspension kit all the way around. An awesome ride with no body roll. The suspension is the best available, and was installed by a professional shop. The kit was $750, plus $400 labor. During the installation the front ball joints were replaced with new control arms, and the front sway bar links on each side for tighter steering and firmer ride. This is a sport luxury car. It has features I have not seen on other cars. When I put the shifter into Reverse, both outside rear view mirrors tilt down so you can see the curb, any small object or child near the car, etc. Cool. When the key is turned on, the power seat returns to one of two positions in memory, and the steering wheel moves up or down, and in or out. Power tilt and power telescope. The seats are heated on the bottom and or the back, with variable heat control. Rear seat almost never sat in. I have two sets of original keys with original, working, remote key fobs. The controls for the automatic climate control heater and AC (very cold) are all tilted towards the driver, more like a cockpit. I have many more pictures if there is a particular area you are interested in seeing. By the way, this is a North Carolina car from new, NO RUST. The Autocheck report is clean. Tires have less thank 500 miles on them. See below for delivery or pickup details.

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
