THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this original classic 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V two door coupe!
Finished in silver over light grey velour cloth interior, this classic Mark V has been driven a mere 62,300 miles since purchased new. This California blue license plate specimen features a solid running 400 cubic inch V8 engine mated to a buttery smooth shifting three speed automatic transmission, electric windows and seating, factory 15" turbine-style alloy wheels with good rubber, padded vinyl top with opera window, am/fm 8-TRACK radio with electric antenna, cruise control and more. This is a fabulous opportunity to purchase the best and last year of the Lincoln Mark series for about the price of the sales tax alone on a new Lincoln!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this Lincoln Mark V is in fair to good mostly all original condition throughout. As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the paint has a nice shine on the side surfaces but shows much wear and fading on the top surfaces with various areas of nicking, bubbling, pitting and scraping. The original padded vinyl top is tattered with much flaking. One wheel is missing the center cap with decent tires all around.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Lincoln is in quite good near-new original condition overall. The velour seating is in exceptional condition with the interior featuring working five-digit odometer which I am told is accurate, working am/fm/8 track radio with a few music selections included. The horn blinkers and wipers all work though the windows are inop [you press the switch and can hear motors working but the gears are not catching]. A/c not blowing cold, clock works, rear view mirror needs to be re-glued. Inside the rear boot you will find the jack sticker and original spare tire.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Lincoln starts, runs, shifts, brakes and rides quite well with fingertip light power steering, smooth acceleration and a whisper quiet ride! The brake pedal is low and hard [possible booster replacement needed] and there is a bit of excess engine noise due to bad exhaust manifold gasket.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator

Wed, Nov 8 2017

General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
