1972 Lincoln Mark IV Clean sunny Southern California car. I purchased 2 years ago from the original owner I and drive it daily owner was a non-smoker, the ashtrays are only used to hold pocket change. Car has been well cared for maintained, always been garaged and spends its time driving in the tropical climate of Palm Springs. I get thumbs up, friendly comments from people and others asking to take pictures every time I drive this car. The car drives perfectly. Freeway speed of 70 or 80 mph are smooth and quiet, no shakes, no rattles, no wind. Air conditioning blows cold (I use it daily). All exterior lights work, all interior lights work including dash lamps and even all four ashtray lights. Original leather upholstery is very nice, still soft, supple and comfortable after 42 years, the vinyl roof is absolutely perfect, all glass is good with no cracks or chips, door and trunk weather strip is still soft and seals properly, chrome and bright metal still shines and shows well. With the exception of a few touchups over the years the car retains mostly original paint. It shines and shows well however there are a few small scratches here and there and slight sun fading on the upper surfaces from the California sun. Of course there are no rust issues. All 4 tires are new with less than 3,000 miles. Spare tire, jack and lug wrench are all in place. Brakes function as designed and stop true and straight. Car also retains the California blue plates originally issued to it. While this former beauty queen is not museum quality after 42 years, it is certainly a fine looking and fine driving example of true 70's luxury and a standard in American auto manufacturing and quality that no longer exists. Fly in to Palm Springs and drive home with confidence. 1972 was the first year for the new Mark IV body style and unique as it was the only year to display the designer's choice for front bumper before the federally mandated, and much heavier looking, 5mph bumpers installed on all 1973 and later vehicles losing the clean original lines forever. The '72 Mark IV came with the following standard equipment: 6 Way Twin Comfort Lounge Seats (all working) Dark Blue Vinyl Roof 460 V-8 Engine Power Steering Power Brakes Sure Track Brake System Automatic Park Brake Release Automatic Temperature Control Tinted Glass Power Windows Power Antenna (works) Long Shear Cut Pile Carpeting Remote Driver's Mirror Rim Blow Steering Wheel Cartier Electric Clock (works perfectly) This particular Lincoln also came with the following optional equipment: Blue Moondust Metallic Paint (more metallic than the standard Lincoln paint) Silver Iridescent Pin Stripe Horizontal Front Bumper Guard (currently removed by personal choice but is in trunk and very nice) Auto Headlamp Dimmer Intermittent Windshield Wipers Electric Rear Window Defogger Convenience Group (power trunk release, power door locks) AM/FM Stereo 8 Track Tape Player (both bands work, 8 track tape player works and includes Ford Family Of Fine Music tape) Automatic Speed Control (works) Tilt Steering Column Traction Lock Rear Axle Opera Windows Dark Blue Leather Seating Surfaces Reclining Passenger Seat Front & Rear Carpeted Floor Mats All totaled, with options, this car had an original sticker price of just over $10,000. A princely sum by any standard in 1972. Transaction will be handled in a gentlemanly fashion. The car is available to view any time during the auction's run. Questions will be answered promptly. If you need to get your wife's/girlfriends/mother's approval before buying a car, please do so before you bid. I will not end the auction early. I will accept a $500 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours of auction's end. Balance can be paid in cash at time of delivery. I do not work with any particular shipping company but I can certainly facilitate in any shipping arrangements Buyer may need. |

2020 Lincoln MKZ gets price and trim changes, new packages
Tue, Mar 10 2020The Lincoln MKZ doesn't have much longer to live, slated to meet the executioner later this year. The team in charge isn't letting the brand's penultimate sedan die unloved, Ford Authority reporting a raft of cosmetic changes and packages that can set the 2020 model apart from others. The three engines, FWD or AWD, and hybrid option stand pat. There's been the expected trim rationalization, though, and some noteworthy price changes. Last year's nine trim combinations are whittled to five in 2020 — the base hybrid, Reserve I in FWD and AWD, and Hybrid Reserve II are no more. The new base models see an increase in MSRP, but there are big savings on the Reserve models. The remaining trims are listed here with their price differences compared to 2019, after the $995 destination charge: Base FWD for $37,745 (+ $755) Base AWD for $39,745 (+ $755) Reserve II FWD for $44,495 (- $2,445) Hybrid Reserve I FWD for $43,495 (+ $3,505) Reserve II AWD for $45,495 (- $2,445) Outside, four colors in the current palette disappear: Empire Blue Metallic, Magma Red Metallic, Red Carpet Metallic and Silver Radiance Metallic. Four new colors take their places: Blue Diamond Metallic, Crystal Copper Metallic, Ingot Silver Metallic and Ruby Red Metallic. A new, bright aluminum 19-inch wheel with ebony pockets is available on all four trims. There's a lot more happening on the packages page, Lincoln throwing five new bundles at the configurator. Only one can be specced on the base MKZ and the MKZ Hybrid, that being the Convenience Package that gathers features such as a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with memory, power trunk lid with soft close, voice-activated touchscreen navigation, and Lincoln Experiences Phase II, which means dynamic signature lighting and smart power mirrors. That suite tacks $2,000 onto the price. Three packages can be had only on the MKZ Reserve with either engine option and the MKZ Hybrid Reserve. The Elements package runs $800 for goodies like heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats. The $3,000 Luxury Package adds full LED headlights, Multi-Contour front seats with Active Motion, and the 20-speaker, 1,200-watt Revel Ultima Audio System. The $1,595 Monochromatic Package can only be ordered in Infinite Black or Platinum White. Both hues get upper grilles and other body trim in the chosen color, as well as 19-inch polished black wheels.
Surprise! More Ford and Lincoln cars found with marijuana
Thu, Jul 27 2017Ford is starting to have a serious problem on its hands. Today, ABC 7 in Detroit reported that another batch of Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars were found packed with 227 pounds of marijuana. This is a little over a week after Fords in Ohio were found stuffed with marijuana and only about two months after Fords in Minnesota were found full of weed. All of the cars traveled on train from Mexico to their destination. All in, several thousand pounds and several million dollars worth of marijuana has been discovered. According to the report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement found the cars at the Ford Rail Distribution Facility in Woodhaven, Michigan, just south of Ford's world headquarters in Dearborn. ICE became involved after a Ford employee reported the cars to Woodhaven police. It's unclear when and where the cars were packed with marijuana. With the cars in Minnesota, it's believed that the weed was added after leaving the factory but before being loaded on the train. Spare tires were removed and the space was used to smuggle the marijuana. Related Video:
