Offered for your consideration is a 1974 Lincoln Mark IV personal luxury coupe.  This is a low-mileage North Carolina car that needs very little to made into really nice ride.

 

I am selling this car for a friend of mine who does not do the internet.  THIS IS NOT MY CAR, and I can answer very few questions for you.  See below for the contact information of the owner who will be glad to speak with you almost any time.

 

Many cars on Ebay look better on the computer than they do in person.  This car is just the opposite – pictures do not do it justice.  The original silver paint is faded.  All the chrome trim has been removed and parts have been spot-primed to prevent rust.  Missing chrome is in the trunk, which has no rust I am told.

 

The body is incredibly straight with no dents or dings.  The only rust is bubbling under the vinyl top (see photo).  The top looks great.  There are two plugged holes on top of the left rear fender where radio antennae once sat proudly (remember the 1970s?  The CB craze?  Apparently the first owner of this car was enamored with the fad, 10-4!).

 

The car does run and yard drives, but I would not consider it roadworthy.  As you can see by the photo of the last NC inspection, this car has not been on the road since 2002.  Tires do not look very weathered.  It does have a good battery.

 

The interior is the real strong point of this car!  During storage, it has had sheets and towels over the dash, real parcel shelf and seat cushions, and sun shades blocking all the windows (I had to move these to take pictures, as you can see in the photos).  The result is that the interior is remarkable!  There are no cracks or discoloration on the dash or rear inside panels, the headliner is unblemished, and the seat cushions – red velour, no less! – are not sun damaged or torn anywhere I could see.  Carpet looks great and there are no signs of wear there or on the pedals.

 

As you can see from the photos of the dash and instrumentation, this car shows 52,000 miles, and I have no doubt it’s probably correct miles (I have no documentation to prove this, however!).  The car has the very rare (for 1974) factory AM/FM cassette player, plus all the usual bells and whistles.  I have no idea if they work, but everything is present to make them work.

 

The inside door panels are off the car and in the garage (they are perfect as well), because the previous owner was trying to get the power windows to work.  (They appear to be stuck, but the motors try to work).

 

This car needs the windows fixed, a good tune-up, and a paint job to once again be the head-turner it was 4 decades ago.  The car certainly deserves the attention!  Those of you in northern portions of the country who love these old land barges will never find one in your neck of the woods with this much potential.

 

QUESTIONS?  I know you have them!  Call the owner, Joe Widmeyer, at 980-581-0732, and he will be glad to talk to you.

 

This car has a clear, clean title ready to go.  Local pick-up only.  Will be glad to assist shippers in loading the car.  Sold as-is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied.

 

Sold with a modest reserve, so bid to own it!

Lincoln Aviator to return as a concept in New York

Thu, Mar 15 2018

The keen Canadian eyes at Autoguide spotted on Lincoln Canada's Twitter feed that the Lincoln Aviator will be resurrected at the 2018 New York Auto Show in two weeks, albeit in concept car form. Given that today's Continental and Navigator were previewed with thinly veiled concepts, it's therefore safe to assume that we'll eventually see a production Aviator. According to Automotive News back in 2016, Aviator should be a three-row crossover based on the next-generation Explorer. So essentially, it will replace the MKT, which was last seen picking people up at your local airport and essentially nowhere else. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. For those of you who don't recall, this would not be the first Lincoln Aviator. The original sold from 2002 to 2005 was also based on the Ford Explorer, and although relatively well-received by car reviewing types at the time, it never caught on with the buying public. Its failure is still a bit surprising given the similar SUV fever of that era. The resurrection of the Aviator name also coincides with the return of Continental and the introduction of Nautilus, which replaces the MKX. However, have no fear MK enthusiasts, the MKZ and MKC still live on. You can be in charge of letting people know just exactly which cars those are.

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*

Wed, 21 May 2014

Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.

2020 Lincoln Aviator crossover is a hot rod with 400 horsepower standard

Wed, Nov 28 2018

LOS ANGELES — The 2020 Lincoln Aviator has finally been revealed in production form following its "concept" debut at the New York Auto Show earlier this year. We add the quotes because the production model is identical to the New York model. Appearances aside, the big news is under the hood. At launch, the Lincoln Aviator will be available with two engines. They're both twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6s, and one of them is a plug-in hybrid. The standard engine makes an impressive 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. To help put that into perspective, that's about 40 more horsepower than the top-rung six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 we just drove, and about 65 more horsepower than the entry-level six-cylinder BMW X5 xDrive40i. Moving to the hybrid powertrain brings Aviator output to 450 horsepower and a staggering 600 pound-feet of torque. That's just 6 ponies shy of the V8-powered BMW X5 xDrive50i, but 121 more pound-feet of torque. This plug-in hybrid powertrain will also be able to do the typical plug-in stuff. You can run the vehicle in pure electric mode or hold the charge to be deployed at a more advantageous time such as driving in town at the end of a highway drive. Lincoln did not give estimates for the pure electric range. Fuel economy hasn't been revealed yet, either. Other interesting hybrid notes: The battery fits entirely under the passenger side of the vehicle between the front and rear wheels. The motor is sandwiched between the engine and transmission. Lincoln also mentioned this is a modular hybrid system, so expect to see it appear in other Lincoln and Ford products in the future. This powertrain layout is part of what makes it possible for all versions of the Aviator to use the same 10-speed automatic transmission, which is gradually proliferating through the whole Ford family. From there, power either goes solely to the rear wheels, or through an optional all-wheel-drive system. All of this power can ride on an available adaptive air suspension the company calls Air Glide. It works like many adaptive suspensions, scanning the road with a camera to adjust damping for bumps ahead. It does have some other trick features, though. When the Aviator is parked, the suspension lowers to make the crossover look more attractive while sitting. And when the driver approaches, it lowers itself further for easier ingress. It also raises itself for snow or mild off-road driving, and it lowers down at highway speeds for better aerodynamics.
