This car has not been restored but has been meticulously maintained over the years. It is in tremendous shape, runs very strong no problems and everything works. It was purchased and owned by one owner from 1973 until I bought it about 3 months ago. I was amazed at the condition, the chrome is nearly perfect, and easy 9 or 10 rating on it's condition. The engine which is a big 460 V8 starts right up and runs great. The owners son had replaced the tires, radiator, carburetor, transmission, as well as repaired and kept up anything of concern over the years.
The white leather interior looks in pretty good shape though has normal wear for a 1973, the drivers seat however has cracks in the leather. Even though the interior is in good condition, if I were to keep it myself I would throw in nice new pristine white leaner to really make her pop. Everything is power, power seats that slide and tilt power windows power antenna and all of it works great! The Air conditioning, interior lights and even the old 8 track stereo work perfectly.

This car was garage kept in California it's entire life. The original owner, a 96 year old woman unfortunately died and her Son sold the car to me. It had 25k original miles and it's condition reflects that. I would think this is one of those Holy Grail classic car finds that a Lincoln enthusiast dreams of coming across except I came across it but I am not a lincoln enthusiast so I just bought it to sell. I ahem had it in my garage and not been driving it other than to keep the engine exercised once a week maybe.
I am happy to answer any and all questions so please ask anything you'd like.

The only damage I can see it has sustained is a scrape next to the front passenger side bumper and rear passenger side bumper which looks like it was scraped while pulling out of a garage, it's really just paint not real dent or damage to the steel.
The Black vinyl top is in pretty nice shape, looks good, the headliner in the interior does have a seam that looks to be ripping and taped. The owners son mentioned he replaced the steering wheel so the one in the car has a crack and is also from a 1974 Lincoln. Other than these minor areas of pretty normal wear the car will really excite you in how great she looks and well she functions. So for all this car people who like to buy old cars and bring them back to glory this one has about everything you would scour the internet searching for all ready to rock which should really put you ahead of the game if you chose to do any restoration at all.

Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
