1977 Lincoln/Mercury Grand Marquis Brougham Edition.
This was a one owner, 22k original mileage survivor car!!! This is not a 122k mileage makeover car. It is a legitimate 22k original mileage car. Simply put, you have to see it to believe it. Stored indoors since new. Never smoked in. The pictures do not do the car justice. Read on......
This Lincoln sold new at Ben Mabus Lincoln/Mercury here in Washington State. It still has the original dealer license plate frames on them. I have the original keys. It has been in Washington State its entire life and was primarily a third car that was rarely driven. The saddle interior is like brand new inside. And dare I say it, it even smells new! It is flawless! From the headliner down to the cut-pile carpet, from the dash to the rear package tray, it shows like new. The ashtrays all have their original silver tint to them. They've never had a cigarette in them. This thing is a total time capsule!
Looking under the hood you will notice all of the factory, final assembly inspection marks and date codes on the Big Block 460 are intact as new. Even little paper tags are still hanging where they were hung 36 years ago. The engine runs flawlessly. I have recently put over one thousand miles on the car driving it to Eastern Washington, (over the pass) in 90 degree weather with no problems. The car runs and drives effortlessly. It is worthy to drive anywhere across the U.S. as you see it.
The car is loaded with the following factory options;
*BB 460 engine
*C-6 Automatic
*A/C (works)
*Tilt Wheel
*Cruise control (works)
*6 way power seat
*Power windows
*Fender skirts
*Bumper guards
*Hide-a-way headlights
*Landau vinyl top
*Rear window defogger
*Courtesy lamps (pull on door handle at night and the keyhole and interior lights illuminate. Way ahead of its time)
*Rear speaker fader control.
*Deluxe seat belts.
*Intermittent wipers (also, way before their time)
*Cornering lamps (again, ahead of their time)
*R/H mirror
If you've been looking for an absolutely mint, original cruiser, your ship has come, pun intended. This car is huge! And subsequently an absolute hoot to drive. Passing a Pruis is an epic moment, every time I drive it. It can run with any Cadillac of its day and quite frankly is much more scarce than a 77 Caddy. With the exception of a small re-spray on the driver's side quarter, this car bears all of its original paint and basically looks new. It looks awesome as any factory paint job ever did. It has a few expected minor door dings and scratches, but they are hardly worth noting.
All of the stainless/aluminum trim is gorgeous! Check out those glamour shots! They are bright and resilient, not milky, faded or dented. Everyone's first impression of this car, is that it has been restored. The chrome on the bumpers and trim is beautiful. Simply put, this is a 36 year old car that is basically brand new! The huge trunk contains the original polyglass spare tire that has never been removed. Speaking of tires, they are newer modern radials. Check out the glamour shot of those hubcaps! They are gorgeous. Zero curb rash!
Feel free to have the car inspected and/or appraised. You wont be disappointed. Fly into SeaTac Airport and drive it across the country. Everything works on this car!
No trades please. If you have any further questions or need any further pics, please let me know and I'll get them to you ASAP.
$500.00 non refundable Pay Pal deposit due within 48 hours.
Thank you and good luck.

2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]
Thu, 06 Feb 2014If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad
Fri, Sep 9 2016For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."
