1972 Lincoln Continental Town Car on 2040-cars
Coinjock, North Carolina, United States
|
What we have for sale is a 1972 Lincoln town car that is in fairly good shape. The body does have some minor rust at the front fender edges and the right quarter. Again on the edge. The body on this car appears to be very straight, no major dings and no sign of bodywork. Vehicle has a new carburetor and a fairly new exhaust, both installed prior to my ownership. I purchased the car needing a fuel pump. Replaced fuel pump and vehicle fired right up although it needs a tuneup because there is an intermittent miss and a little lugging until warm. Transmission appears to shift fine, goes forward and back. Interior is in pretty good shape with the exception of the top of rear seat is dry rotted and would require replacement is restored. Dash has sun crack damage. I believe it is only one crack. The biggest issue I see with this car is the back glass leaks. Photos show bubbling around the back glass as it is a rust issue that has been repaired probably more than once. Frame is good with no rust and floors show no sign of rust. The body of this car again, is in fairly good shape. Factory ridge moldings that go from bumper to bumper all appear to be in good shape. The left fender mldg does have a dent in it. There may possibly be a ding or a scratch somewhere however overall good shape. The vehicle was refinished at some point. It appears to be acrylic enamel and has no gloss. I buffed a spot on the left rear and it did return some gloss but I don't believe it would last. Vehicle does appear to have some electrical issues as some of the windows work some of the time. Some do not work at all. I do not hear relay clicking so it may be a simple fix however I have not investigated. Power seat does not move. Again it may be a big or a small issue. I have not taken the time to look. Driver's trim panel is broken and in poor condition. Super glue works wonders. It would have to fix the panel. Anyone seriously interested in the vehicle feel free to contact me and I will perform some tests to try to determine if it is the motor, fuse, relay or simply lubrication for the windows and seat. I am in the middle of another car and have just not had the time to check some of these things. Additional photos are available. Auction is subject to end as vehicle is listed locally. Happy Motoring.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
