Rare 1978 Lincoln Mark V Diamond Jubilee Edition With NO RESERVE 460 V8, 74k original miles. Rare Diamond Jubilee with Diamond Blue Moondust Metallic paint and Diamond Blue Landau Half-Vinyl Roof with matching padded trunk lid and Wedgewood Blue Luxury Broadlace interior. Priced at $20,529, the Diamond Jubilee Edition Mark V's were the most luxurious and expensive to date by Lincoln in a production car. Options include silver/blue tinted glass power moonroof with sliding shade, color matched aluminum "turbine" wheels, color matched body trim, quarter windows that lower and raise before side windows, "Opera Lamps" on the side pillars accenting the oval opera window (looks great at night) and a simulated diamond chip over the letter "I" of "Diamond Jubilee" in the glass of the opera windows. Other premium options included digital "miles to empty" readout, tilt steering wheel, remote trunk release and auto lamp/auto dimming headlights. According to the production numbers, only 1511 Diamond Jubilees were built with the huge "Astro-Roof" power glass moonroof, which was the most expensive option at an additional $1,027. Of those 1511 built it's anybody's guess how many are still on the road, especially in this condition. Here's a page dedicated to the 1978 "Blue Moondust" Diamond Jubilee: http://automotivemileposts.com/mark51978diamondjubilee.html This page lists the options and corresponding pricing of the huge list of luxury features: http://automotivemileposts.com/mark51978optionalequipment.html Wikipedia page briefly detailing the history and interesting facts about the 1978 Diamond Jubilee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Continental_Mark_V#1978_.22Diamond_Jubilee_Edition.22 I've always wanted a Mark V Diamond Jubilee but they're generally out of my price range. I bought this one to fix up, as it's a roadworthy car and I planned on driving it as I restored it. Unfortunately, space and finances force me to let it go. It's totally complete, nothing missing and most everything works including the moonroof and the power vent windows. The a/c compressor turns on but doesn't blow cold. It starts up easy, shifts smoothly and the engine has a nice 460 V8 purr. It's developed a power steering leak, I add fluid as necessary. The tires are dry rotted but the turbine wheels are in good shape. It's straight, never hit, doors close easily and the headlight doors even stay closed when the car is parked. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly, as well as the wipers and horn. Aftermarket shaft style cassette player installed, the dash was not cut and four new speakers installed. The steering wheel has developed a slight wander, I was told it needed a new "rag joint". Cosmetics: The vinyl top was replaced as well as the vinyl on the trunk. The paint is original and faded with some bubbling in spots. The paint looks OK from 20 feet but it's faded and scratched when you're up close. The interior is the car's strongest point, overall it's in nice condition. The dash display, padded dashboard, headliner and visors are in excellent condition. The Lincoln got the "Ziebart" rustproofing treatment when new. Every classic car I've had that got the Ziebart treatment has been rust free. The undercarriage is clean as seen in the pix. The bumpers have no dents or rust but are dull. A good paint job would bring her back to her glory. I'm selling the Lincoln due to financial circumstances as you can see from the lack of a reserve price. I'm a big fan of the Mark V's and the Diamond Jubilee is the finest example of this stylish, incredibly well built car. When the windows and moonroof are closed it's whisper quiet inside; many times I've looked down to see I'm doing 85-90 and had no idea I was going that fast. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Mark V is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to door auto shipper if you need one. Rare classic Lincoln which will appreciate in value. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

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).
10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled
Wed, Apr 27 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame.

Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
