Priced at $20,529, the Diamond Jubilee Edition Mark V's were the most luxurious ever to date by Lincoln in a production car. Options include quarter windows that lower and raise before main window, silver tinted glass power moonroof with sliding shade, color matched aluminum "turbine" wheels, color matched body trim, auto-lamps with auto-dimming, digital "miles to empty" readout, tilt steering wheel, remote trunk release and automatic dimming headlights. Here's a couple of pages describing the features of the 78 Diamond Jubilee:

Mechanical: The gentleman I purchased the car from had owned it since 1980 and had replaced, refurbished and rebuilt almost everything. I don't use the word "restored" because people use the word differently, especially in reference to luxury classics. I would personally say this is a restored car considering its condition. Over the last five years the car got a full exhaust system from the engine back including resonator (Lincoln is nice and quiet), new disc brake pads all around as well as front rotors, new alternator, new front end parts including ball joints, bushings and front and rear shocks as well as a set of new tires. The a/c has not been retrofitted to modern freon, compressor turns on and system blows cool but could use a charge of R12 if available or a retrofit to modern freon. All the amenities work, AM/FM stereo, the power antenna, the cruise control, the windows (small power vent and main) work perfectly, power seats work in all directions and the headlight doors work properly.  The power moonroof and sliding shade work perfectly, no leaks in car washes or heavy rain. The Lincoln has always been obsessively maintained, anything that needed attention has always been addressed. The previous owner repainted the engine compartment and rebuilt the engine while it was out of the car (it did not need a rebuild, the previous owner just loved making the car perfect), the motor has under 10k on it. The previous Mark V I owned had the 460, this 400 is so fresh and well tuned I don't feel a difference in power, on the highway she gets 2-4 better MPG than the 460. The motor is quiet, the transmission shifts smoothly, no noises or leaks from anywhere.

Cosmetics: The interior is overall in excellent, show car condition. The previous owner noticed the tops of the back seats were beginning to fray and had the seats repadded and recovered with NOS Ford materials, correct down to the inset design on the buckets seats. The carpet was replaced at the same time in the correct color and style. The door panels, dash display, padded dashboard, headliner and visors are in excellent condition. The center console armrest is a bit faded. About ten years ago the Lincoln got new vinyl on the top and padded trunk area and received a high quality, perfectly color matched paint job as well. The body shop actually had to re-do the pinstripe because it was not an exact match of the original. The underside is perfectly clean, undercoated when new, does not even show surface rust. I know I have photos of the undercarriage, I will try to find them or take new ones before the auction is over. The Lincoln has never had any kind of body repair and the chrome and trim are as nice as the photos show them to be. I've had several Mark V's and this by far is the one that gets the most attention, she's breathtaking in person. I'm always the only one at car shows representing this era of Lincoln style, I get endless questions and requests for photos when at car cruises. She's never been out in the winter or any type of weather, in person it's obvious it's always been meticulously cared for. I do not have the leather bound tool kit or the owner's manual. This is one of those classics that's obviously always been a "Garage Queen".

Engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks, the garage floor is always dry when I pull her out. She cruises nicely on the highway, idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, brakes evenly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like classic American  cruiser should. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work properly, as well as the wipers and horn. 

I'm only 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. This Mark V is easily the best looking and running classic I've ever owned. It's remarkable how clean the undercarriage is, floors, frame and trunk solid as new, when I first got it my mechanic joked, "Has this car ever been driven?". 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. Once again, this is a NO RESERVE auction, the top bidder gets the Lincoln.

Rare classic Lincoln which is as much a pleasure to drive as she is to look at. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Sell your own: 2002 Lincoln LS V8

Tue, May 23 2017

Looking to sell your car? We make it easy and free. Quickly create listings with up to six photos and reach millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. Ford Motor Company has been a global concern almost as long as there has been a 'Motor Company'. And while it is omnipresent in most corners of the globe, few things spoke to that globalization more than Ford's purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover near the end of the last century. And with that purchase came shared platform opportunities, some of which didn't work (Jaguar's X-Type is the most notable, whose platform was shared with the Ford Mondeo), and some that did. We'll focus on one that did: Jaguar's S-Type, whose engineering was common to the Lincoln LS. Sales didn't set the world on fire for either model, but there is something ageless about both; the Jag embraced a neo-classic theme, while Lincoln's LS is almost timeless within its 3-box, slab-sided architecture. This for-sale example, located in Melbourne, Fla., looks to be in nice condition. If the mileage is accurate and the Carfax reasonably clean, it should provide miles and years of motoring pleasure, even if only driving to your rheumatologist. The LS borders on being a quiet collectible, with less obvious pleasure in the viewing, more obvious delight in the driving; that's especially true with this model's V8. And you can put the asking price on most credit cards! Lincoln Car Buying Used Car Buying Buying Guide Ownership Luxury Sedan

2020 Lincoln MKZ gets price and trim changes, new packages

Tue, Mar 10 2020

The 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.

2022 Lincoln Navigator revealed with tech updates, hands-free driving, new Black Label themes

Wed, Aug 18 2021

Last week, Lincoln Motor Company teased its updated, enhanced and even more upscale Navigator SUV for the 2022 model year. Today, Ford’s luxury brand has unveiled this mid-cycle refresh with improved technology — including the Lincoln ActiveGlide hands-free driving system and over-the-air software updates — plus two new available themes for the line-topping Black Label trim level. Starting with tech, Lincoln launches the first iteration of its ActiveGlide advanced driver assistance tech, which, like FordÂ’s new BlueCruise technology, allows for hands-free highway driving if the right conditions are met. It leverages adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane centering and traffic sign recognition to allow for hands-free driving on over 130,000 miles of divided highways across North America. Similar to GMÂ’s Super Cruise system, ActiveGlide monitors the driverÂ’s head and eye positions with a driver-facing camera to unsure their attention remains on the road ahead of them, ready to take over driving functions if need be. The 2022 Navigator also employs Lincoln Enhance, which is the branded name for its over-the-air software update capability. This allows Lincoln to make improvements, install new features and even provide some preventative maintenance without it needing to be brought in for service. Lincoln promises this allows the “Navigator to get even better over time.” This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

You can use Alexa in the car the way you normally would with the digital assistant, or you can connect the Lincoln Way app for Alexa to control certain car features — locks, remote start, checking on vehicle status — from your Alexa-enabled home or mobile device. The 2022 Navigator also benefits from AmazonÂ’s Fire TV service for the rear-seat entertainment. It even includes 16 GB of built-in storage so you can watch your favorite Prime Video content on the road without connectivity. ThereÂ’s an updated Sync 4 infotainment system with a larger 13.2-inch center screen, improved voice recognition and navigation, and a Constellation design theme that carries over to the digital instrument cluster and the refreshed head-up display. In the second row, occupants now have a digital control module for rear climate and audio settings.
