1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 2dr Coupe. Aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32 valve 4 cam aluminum Cobra Motor, 4R70W Heavy Duty 4 speed automatic trans, aluminum drive shaft, 4 wheel disc brakes, posi-traction, independent front and rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and dual exhaust.
Equipment includes JBL stereo system with 8 speakers, power antennae, p/seats, p/windows, p/mirrors, auto dim rearview, p/trunk release, p/fuel door, p/moon roof, climate control, onboard computer, leather interior, bucket seats with console and floor shift and more.
I purchased this car from the estate of a deceased gentleman. It was parked for 2 years. I performed the following to get it road ready:
Flushed the gas tank, replaced the fuel pump, changed/flushed all fluids and filters, including 12 quarts and filter for trans, replaced every hose, belt, sensor, EGR valve, plugs and wires, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, battery, starter, alternator, wiper motor, climate control head, rearview mirror assembly, power antennae motor. I then replaced the driver's power seat motor, added a nice Kenwood CD player, and Safelight put in a brand new windshield. With the car running perfectly, and the trans shifting like brand new, I completely removed the troublesome air-suspension, and replaced it with a Strut Masters conversion kit. All control arms, shocks, springs, ball joints, tie rods ends and sway bar links and steering components are new. I then spent $2000.00 on the wheels and tires you see pictured. I have over $9000.00 invested in this car.
The motor and trans are great. No noise, no smoke, no leaks of any kind, great oil pressure, runs cool. Trans shifts like is brand new, when I pulled the valve covers to change the gaskets, the heads were unusually clean; the factory dual exhaust is tight and quiet. The odometer shows 155K. The car is very responsive, and I don't recommend it for a brand new driver. The blue leather interior is nice, no rips or excessive wear, no cracks on the dash. All the lights work. Lifelong North Carolina car, absolutely rust free. Everything other than what is listed below, works.
A/C probably needs a charge, Cruise control needs fuse or relay, bad ground on fuel gauge. Needs to be driven. It has been sitting for a long time. All listed repairs and additions have taken place within the last 100 miles, but over a period of 2 years. It was regularly started, and I have put a few miles on it recently. It has some dings, scratches and the clear coat is peeling off the roof. The ABS light is on, but the brakes are fine. (I was told this is common when converting the suspension). Airbag light also flashes once in a while. Nice car you can drive as-is while you finish restoring, or use the very desirable drive train for a swap project. I have done a lot of work on this car, and have described it to the best of my ability. Needs some minor TLC from someone who loves cars. Clear title in hand, vehicle is not registered, but if you can get a dealer or transporter plate, I would not hesitate to drive it away. Car is for sale locally, must sell, lost storage. $500.00 non refundable deposit due through pay pal within 72 hours of purchase, remainder upon delivery.

2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid range, fuel economy revealed

Mon, Dec 9 2019

The range-topping 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid luxury crossover finally has official fuel economy ratings. The electric range is 21 miles, and when the battery is exhausted, gas-only combined fuel economy is 23 mpg. The EPA's combined electric and gas test loop yielded 56 mpg-e. These numbers make the Aviator Grand Touring the most frugal version of the three-row luxury crossover, with the next most efficient one being the rear-drive non-hybrid model at 21 mpg combined. When going by gas-only fuel economy, though, the Aviator Grand Touring's non-plug-in cousin, the Ford Explorer Hybrid, returns up to 28 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive, and 25 mpg with all-wheel drive. It has much less power at 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque, compared to the Aviator Grand Touring's 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. The luxury plug-in hybrid crossover segment is quite small right now. The closest competitor to the Aviator Grand Touring is probably the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. It has a shorter electric range of 13 miles, and its gas-only fuel economy is a slightly worse at 22 mpg. The Porsche is less powerful with 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and its base price of $82,450 exceeds the Lincoln's $69,895 price. The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e splits the difference on efficiency with a worse 10-mile electric range, but a better gasoline fuel economy of 25 mpg combined. This could improve for 2020, as the updated model will have a larger battery. It's cheaper, too, at $51,645, but it's also a full size smaller than the Lincoln.

2016 Lincoln MKX spied in production form

Wed, Dec 17 2014

We're getting our first quality look at the next-generation Lincoln MKX in production guise thanks to these fresh spy shots, and they suggest styling that hews very closely to the concept from earlier this year. Compared to the showcar, the headlights aren't quite as well integrated into the grille, but these LED units still attempt to nicely wrap the split-wing grille across the entire face of the vehicle. Beyond that, the two vehicles quite similar, though. The shape of the lower air dam is practically identical – just with some extra plastic for the production version. The hint of a character line running down the side also makes the resemblance easy to spot, despite this tester's polka-dot camouflage. At the rear, the taillights stretch across the hatch with integrated exhaust outlets below. Even the twin-spoke wheels are comparable to the concept. Also, look carefully at these spy shots, and you can notice Lincoln apparently testing two different trims. One has LED headlights with front and rear parking sensors (pictured above), and the other shows projector lights with the sensors only at the rear. The next-gen MKX will launch in 2015 and will be the first model in Lincoln's lineup to benefit from the deal with Harman to use its high-end Revel audio system. Check out the gallery to get a mildly camouflaged sneak preview of the company's future luxury crossover.
