The good: Paint is brand new. Car was stripped down, all bodywork was done and was repainted. All door jambs and under trunk/ hood painted to match. Engine compartment not painted but doesn't stand out. Interior was stripped down and replaced as well. New: headliner, dash cap, seats front & rear, steering wheel, carpet kit, rear deck recovered.
New mechanical parts: steering box, steering pump, fuel pump, carb, battery, full tuneup done. Motor and running gear are all solid, car runs and drives great. It has a few rattles here and there but no major vibrations or other flaws. Tires are brand new with no signs of wear at all. Doesn't smoke or smell rich, idles smooth and starts right up every time.
The bad: Weatherstripping needs to be replaced. There are a few random parts in the interior showing wear like the pillar cover between the front and back seats, the dash board has a cap cover on it, the original dash under it is pretty rough but with the cap you can't notice it at all. The oil and alternator lights are both on constantly but both have been checked out and are both alternator and oil pressure are check out fine, probably bad sending units? The door panels are in fair condition but should probably be replaced or rebuilt some day. Trunk has not been touched so it's original and needs to be upholstered. The trunk sill and deck lid have been painted so that part isn't a problem, just the trunk area itself is ugly. There is a grill trim piece broken off and can be seen in the pictures. The grill in general is pretty beat and should probably be fixed one day although with the exception of this broken trim piece and a crack in the grill slats, none of this is noticeable from the outside. The tranny has a very small leak coming from around the bell housing area somewhere but isn't bad at all. Paint is new but should probably be wet sanded and polished, looks very presentable, just not quite perfect yet. Shocks are probably shot, I haven't checked them out so they're most likely original.

Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille
Thu, Jun 15 2017The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the MKZ and Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille. Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn't look particularly different. The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn't expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator. Whatever the other changes are, we'll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there's a good chance we'll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest. Related Video:
Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
Lincoln drops MKX base price to $38,995
Mon, Jun 22 2015Lincoln is giving the 2016 MKX a major improvement in style and tech, and is introducing the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 as an option for the luxury crossover. While all of those changes are significant, the cost might be just as enticing to get customers checking out the new generation. The base price for 2016 falls to $38,995, after an $895 destination charge on all models, compared to $39,795 for the 2015. At this time, there are three trim levels listed on Lincoln's site, but a Black Label version is supposed to come along later to add a bit more opulence. Above the base Premiere trim, the Select model starts at $42,285, and adds features like LED running lights, folding and heated mirrors, leather seats, and a power hatch. Spending $46,050 brings buyers to the Reserve trim with upgrades including a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, navigation, adaptive headlights, and heated seats. There are a huge number of individual options available, including full LED headlights and a safety suite of tech. Opting for the 2.7-liter EcoBoost pushes the price of any trim up an extra $2,000, and checking the box for all-wheel drive brings with it an added $2,495. As ever, you can spec one out yourself on the official configurator here.
