1969 Lincoln Mark Iii 67k Miles 2 Owner on 2040-cars
Raymore, Missouri, United States
|
You're bidding on a 67,331 mile rock solid 1969 Lincoln Mark III. The vehicle is almost all original, including the paint and interior, and was stored in a heated and cool garage for the last 25 years. The vehicle was in the same small town it's whole life out in Western Kansas until I brought it home to the Kansas City area. I purchased it from the second owners, an elderly couple, who purchased it about 30 years ago from their friend who was the original owner. I have the original documents, registrations and owner's manuals. The title is clear and still in the second owner's name.
Before the previous owner was the retired American Family Insurance Agent in the small town and he wanted to make sure the car was running driving correctly, so he had the car taken to his repair shop of many years where they rebuilt the top half of the engine (heads, intake, carb and tune up). The day I picked the car up I drove it right out of his garage. The only thing I've done to the vehicle thus far was to replace the water pump on the day the pictures were taken and add a set of brand new wheels (Liquid Metal Renegade Polished 75 15x8s) and tires (BF Goodrich Radial T/A P225/60R15) to the vehicle. I have the original wheels and hubcaps which will go with the car. The car has original paint. To really shine the paint needs to buffed and or polished. Of course there's some small door dings and scratches. The interior is all original and almost near perfect! The seats, dash pad, headliner and everything else is original and in incredible condition. The body has almost NOOOOOO rust. The underside is in amazing rust free condition. There's on a small rust spot on the left rear quarter and NOOOOOO where else. The car is way cool to drive and gets a lot of looks. The only thing a buyer would plan on repairing is the original exhaust is leaking. I was going to put a set of dual turbo mufflers for a great sound. Sometimes the head light doors close and sometimes the stay open. I've never had a chance to look at them. My intentions was to license the car and drive it to work several days a weeks during the nice months of the year and maybe out at night once and in awhile, however plans have changed and I really don't have room inside my garage for the car long term. I refuse to park/store the vehicle outside, so I'll try to sell it once otherwise I'll rent a climate controlled storage unit. Anyone is welcome to come view the vehicle prior to the auction ending. If you have any questions please feel free email and or call me at 816.590.7660. Thank you, Chris |

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford Announces Four Recalls, 1.4M Vehicles Affected
Thu, May 29 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013. Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though. "Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software." The most recent generation of the Ford Explorer is suffering from a similar malady, thanks to an intermittent electrical connection (we think that means short circuit) in the steering column. Like the Escape and Mariner, manual steering would still be available in the event of a power failure. Ford will recall 195,527 examples of its Explorer, 177,500 of which are in the US. This recall covers model years 2011 to 2013. According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stated that Ford will inform owners of affected vehicles by July 25. Ford is also recalling 200,000 Taurus sedans, over a corrosion issue in the license plate lamp. This particular recall, which covers vehicles from model years 2010 to 2014, is limited to drivers in northern climes. Vehicle owners in southern states are free to pass on the recall. Finally, 82,576 Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ sedans from 2006 to 2011 are being recalled because of floormats that can interfere with the accelerator pedal. Dealers will replace the offensive floormats with newer examples. "Ford is committed to providing our customers with top quality vehicles. We are equally committed to addressing potential issues and responding quickly for our customers," Felker wrote.
