1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III. I bought this car about three years ago and had it shipped in from California. It still has the black plate on the front. Dual plates are not required in Indiana. I have done quite a bit of work on it since I've had it. I will list these things first, then list what I know needs to be done now. I have replaced both front window motors with new ones. Replaced alternator, complete engine tune up. Changed oil and oil filter, both Amsoil synthetic oil, gas filter, air filter, changed transmission fluid and filter, wiper blades fan belts. Replaced broken turn signal arm with good used one. Replaced worn out lower air conditioner tensioner pulley. replaced driver door switches, driver side tail light lens right rear hub cap. The transmission had a small leak around the seals where the shifter arm goes through the transmission housing. I had a transmission repair shop replace these seals and change the fluid and filter again. They replaced the shifter seals, output shaft o-rings, extension housing gasket, seal and bushing. I am quoting from the repair shop receipt. I have not driven it since these were replaced. It needs to be driven for them to seat and not leak. I moved the car and saw no transmission fluid. I do not know if they have seated. If there is a leak, it should seal after driving it awhile. The receipt is for $183.04. I do not guarantee these or any other repairs and do not guarantee the car, it is sold as-is. The engine runs great, transmission works fine. Drives like a dream. Plenty of power. It flies. Tires have not been replaced since I have had it. They are weathered and should be replaced. The head liner is torn in the rear of the car in two places I believe. After sitting, the power master controls do not all work. I have had the car sit for a long time before and would work with the switches and they did start to work again. They may or may not return to working properly. The front driver seat has several small bad places. The carpet appears to be in good shape. Back seats are in good condition. The driver side window does not completely seal when window is up and door is closed. The window needs to be left down a quarter inch or so until door is closed. Also there is a space between the passenger windows. The radio does work but both door speakers need to be replaced. It plays very low. All the speakers probably should be replaced. The trunk is in great shape. The trunk lid is in very good shape. No apparent rust like most of them. The car was painted at one point. Not since I have owned it. Passenger door has been swiped against the garage entry. This paint may come off with paint thinner or some other paint remover. I have not tried. I have replaced the grille. Very nice. I have replaced the vacuum canisters with used ones but the headlight doors eventually come open indicating a vacuum leak. All the lights and switches did work when I parked it. It has been sitting for a long time and they may or may not decide to work again. The windshield wiper switch was replaced with a used one from a Thunderbird and the wipers don't go all the way down below the windshield. The car looks really good all in all. Drives great. There are some things that will need to be checked/repaired. To my knowledge there is nothing major wrong with it. I have never had any problems with it other than what is listed here. The driver door panel as with most all of the driver side panels needs to be replaced. It is warped and doesn't look very good. Please check out all the pictures, ask any questions you may have. Other than the tires, I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere. It is over 42 years old so I am pretty sure that there are some things that I do not know about that may come up. I have put a new battery in it since I have had it. I have done several things that I do not remember now. Remember, I believe the car is beautiful and road worthy, with the exceptions of the tires, but is has been sitting for several months just being started every couple of months and driven very short distances. Also, the vinyl top has a couple of small defects/tears. Again, the car is sold as-is. No warranties or guarantees. $500.00 is due immediately after end of auction. You can use Pay Pal if you prefer. The balance is to be paid on pick up of the car in cash. No checks/money orders. Cash only. Clear title.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

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.

Lincoln MKC spied in final form

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln.
Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.
Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.
