1971 Lincoln Mark Iii on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
I have mentioned everything to the best of my knowledge in the description of the car. It's not perfect but a super nice driver and it's clean. I have enjoyed this car but I need to thin out my collection. The Lincoln is all up to date with service. You will need to fix the gas gauge,don't know whay it doesn't work. It has a full tank of premium gas in it right now though. Surprising enough,I keep track of the mileage on the odometer. It is getting around 13 MPG in the city with the 460. I know that doesn't sound great,but I don't drive this everyday. Most 460's get 10 or less.
I have replaced the wipers,new fluids,new battery,oil change,air cleaner and cleaned everything. It comes with a box of extra parts like hard to find moldings,an original 8 track player/stereo from another Mark III,tail light lenses,chrome for the taillights and lots of other small things. The engine bay is spotless(I will add a photo of that tomorrow). It will need a glove box button which you can find here on eBay for not much money. I just have way too many projects and hate to see this car sit here. I want someone who will love it,pamper it and enjoy it. :) I always loved the '71 movie "The French Connection" and every time I drive this car I feel like I'm part of the movie. It's pretty fun. This Lincoln will not win you an award right now at a car show but is it car show material? Absolutely. 80 mph in the car feels like you're going 30 and at 80 it's not even breathing hard. It wants to go faster but I don't want to get pulled over. ;) I have all of the paperwork and receipts for everything. I have paperwork going back to 1986 on the car,original owner's manual,window sticker,dealer brochure,and Protecto plate. I also have a wiring and vacuum diagram for the new owner in aid of any service or repair down the line if needed. If in Washington state,the tabs are current. As you will see in pictures,it was photographed in different locations I thought looked neat. Yes,that is me standing next to the car in one of my favorite areas called Browne's Addition. It is a turn key car. You will be able to get in,fire it up and go cruise. Now,I am putting my reserve low as to clear my expenses and investment. It's not going to be very high. I am going to sell the car. I just want to break even. Anything else is great and all,but I'm not worried about that. If you are looking at this auction,you know what these are worth and my starting price is a going to be a steal. As I stated,it will need some work but nothing super major. Needs nothing on the drivetrain. I made sure of that. Get in,buckle up and drive it. Buyer will be responsible for any costs for shipping if needed. If close,you can drive this home. Thank you for looking and feel free to ask any questions if you need to. Thanks a ton and have a great day! :) Jason |

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

High-tech, remote-controlled Golden Sahara II custom car going for auction
Mon, Mar 19 2018Imagine a vehicle with automatic braking, remote operation, self-opening doors and a big screen on the dash. You're probably imaging a Tesla Model X, but we're actually talking about a car called the Golden Sahara II, a custom car originally built in the 1950s, and it's going for auction at Mecum's event in Indianapolis. According to Mecum, this custom car started out as a 1953 Lincoln Capri owned by George Barris, the man who created the original Batmobile. He didn't have it long before it ended up in a crash that led him to use it for a major custom project. He teamed up James Skonzakes, known as Jim Street, to create and pay for the build. In 1954, the car was finished with wild body work, actual 24-karat gold-plated exterior trim and a pearlescent gold paint created from fish scales. It carried the name of Golden Sahara, and it cost $25,000 to build. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In 1956, Street decided to invest a whole lot more into the car. He sent it to a shop in Dayton, Ohio where it was fitted with a myriad of high-tech features. These included a central control stick that could operate the throttle, steering and braking, push-button steering controls on the dashboard for both the driver and the passenger, a remote control for moving it slowly and for opening the doors. It had sonar antennae at the front for automatic braking, a TV in the center stack, a radio, a phone, and even a cocktail cabinet in the back and mink carpeting. All of these features were on display when Street appeared with the car on the TV show I've Got a Secret, seen above, as well as in a period news story in which Street's wife demonstrated the features including the light-up wheels and tires for turn signals. That clip is visible below. The total cost of the car, now called Golden Sahara II, was $75,000. Adjusted for inflation, that's nearly $700,000. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Eventually, Street stopped showing the Golden Sahara II, but he never got rid of it. It was recently found in his garage, and the car will finally go for auction in May at Mecum's Indianapolis auction. The car will be sold in unrestored condition, which looks to be fairly rough, but savable. It appears the remotes are still there, too. The car will be auctioned with no reserve, so it will have a new owner.
