Clean for it age. Very little rust! Runs and drives great engine is strong and has a new carburetor on it. instrument panel is INOP however I have installed all aftermarket gauges you need for it. It is missing the fender skirts and could probably use a set of tires. Mechanically a great car would be a great choice to start a restore. Awesome road trip car. I was told this car was in the move "Iowa" but I have no proof that it is the exact car that was on set. I have driven this car a lot since doing all the mechanical work to get it back to road worth condition. It is a really fun car that can seat six full sized adults very comfortably. I do not want to see this car just be used in a demolition derby which is what a lot of people want if for it is in too good of shape for that. With minor work it could be a really great classic car. It has a 460 with a 4 barrel carb on it pushing a C6 transmission. No over drive but this car cruises great at 65 MPH. The A/C works and blows cold and it never has any over heating problems.

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford 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).
