This beautiful Lincoln is being sold to settle the estate of Ms. Shirley Musick.  She purchased the car from Bailey Lincoln in Ft. Worth in Oct. of '84 preowned.  Ever since, the car has been parked on the left side of the garage of her home in the Lytle Shores neighborhood (around a private lake in Abilene, Tx.).  We lost Miss Shirley in Feb., the house has been sold, and now the Lincoln.

I removed the car from her garage Friday.  Drove around the loop, had it washed (not detailed), and what a wonderful car this is !!  I had one new, and had forgot just how comfortable and quite these Lincoln's are.  This is a very nice, original car.

First off, this Mark has always been in service.  Never stored, or neglected.  Showing 87,000 miles.  Not bad for 31 years!  If you remember the metallic paints from this era, they did not hold up well, especially in the extremely hot, West Texas climate.  The paint really is nice, very shiny, and all without having been detailed.  There are very few, minor blemishes you would expect on a car of this age.  Nothing that distracts from just  how nice it is.  NO RUST!  EVER!  ANYWHERE!  Abilene is hot, and very dry!  Our cars do not rust.

I only drove the car about 25 miles, and everything seems to be in working order.  The only issues I noticed, the power antenna does not work.  Everything else seems fine.  The digital dash is perfect.  Seats, windows -- all good.  The leather on the seats is in amazing condition.  They are still extremely soft, and really comfortable.  The vinyl top is soft, no cracking.    Tires look good and so does the spare.

Took some pictures of the car on a lift, you can see that the undercarriage is in great condition.  Again, NO RUST!

A car dealer friend told me that it's hard to find any nice car to drive for this price, especially a collector type that looks this good.  Wish I had the room........

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V

Mon, Feb 27 2017

For the 1977 model year, Ford debuted the new Lincoln Continental Mark V, one of the biggest of the personal luxury coupes that were all the rage during the era. While 400 pounds lighter than its Mark IV predecessor, the Mark V was still a thirsty, 4,652-pound symbol of American exceptionalism. Here's an example of a first-year Mark V, spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. If we are to judge from the sun-baked interior, top-down rust, and moss growing on the bodywork, this car spent at least 20 years decaying outdoors before coming here. Still, flashes of its original opulence may be seen here and there. For example, the Cartier clock (which probably failed by about 1983). There were Cartier Edition Mark Vs (along with Givenchy and Pucci versions), but all the Mark Vs got the Cartier clocks. With the 1973 Oil Crisis just a few years behind and the 1979 Oil Crisis a couple of years ahead, some attempt to improve fuel economy was needed in the engine compartment. This car has the 400-cubic-inch version of the 351 Cleveland V8, rated at 179 woefully inadequate horsepower and 329 good-enough pound-feet of torque. Outside of California, the 208-horse 460-cubic-inch V8 was an option. These cars were very comfortable on the highway, with their soft springs and cushy seats. No, the wood isn't real. Worth restoring? No way, not when you can find nice one-owner examples for four figures. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. "To its owner, Continental Mark V is more than a new car. It's a Mark of tradition." Related Video: Featured Gallery Junked 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V View 25 Photos Auto News Lincoln Luxury

Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang

Wed, Sep 20 2017

DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.
