1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition. NO RESERVE!! This car will sell, so be prepared to bid! I purchased this car from the family of the original owner. It has 53,039 miles on it which I believe to be actual. The engine is a 400 2bbl which runs great. The car is equipped with all the standard options all of the Mark Series has, like power locks, seats (both), windows, trunk release, interval-wipers, cruise control, AM/FM/8-track radio with remote seek (working), rear defrost, etc. The things which I know are not working are the passenger door-lock actuator and the A/C, which needs a recharge (compressor is free and connected). Exhaust is new and carb has been recently rebuilt. The car starts and runs very well and all the other options I mentioned are working properly. It tracks straight on the highway and rides like only a Lincoln does! One other mechanical component which needs attention is a bushing in the steering linkage which is sloppy. It does not affect the driveability of the car, but is annoying as the wheel turns slightly before the steering engages the steering gear. It is a common problem for Marks which I haven't gotten around to fixing. The car doesn't appear to have had any Winter use at all as it is very clean and all original so far as I can tell. The pinstripes are all intact and all the paint matches from panel to panel and is very glossy. This IS an original car and IS NOT flawless. I would call it an exceptional example of an original 34 year-old vehicle, but it does have chips which have been touched up with the correct paint. It is not banged up, dented, or full of dings. The original owner clearly took good care of it and I have had it in climate-controlled storage. The original spare is in the trunk and appears to have never left as it still has blue residue on the whitewall and the seams on the tread show no wear whatsoever. The interior is outstanding and really needs nothing. The original floor mats are intact and the carpet is excellent. The dash and arm-rests have no cracking at all, and all of the glass is good. The rear-view mirror on the passenger side swivels around a bit and probably needs to be disassembled and tightened up. I have done my best to accurately describe this car. It is not my wish to mislead anyone about anything whatsoever, so if you have specific questions about the car please ask, and you can count on an honest answer. If there are views of the car you would like me to provide, please message me and I will get them to you ASAP. Please feel free to call if you would like to talk more about the car of ask me any questions. I have been collecting Lincolns for nearly 20 years and am very familiar with these cars. Thank you for looking! -John 701-729-6839 Buyer will be required to provide a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end time.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch
Fri, Oct 7 2016MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Ford recalls over 500,000 trucks and SUVs, including Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator
Fri, Aug 30 2019For the second time in a month, Ford is recalling the brand-new 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator for minor safety issues. This recall, which also affects certain 2018-2020 Ford F-150s, 2019-2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Ford Explorers, and 2019-2020 Ford Expeditions, pertains to potentially faulty seat-back reclining mechanisms. In total, the recall touches 550,186 vehicles. A mechanical part meant for relaxation and comfort has the Ford Motor Company stressin'. Ford says potentially affected vehicles might be missing the "third pawl required for seat-back strength" in the reclining mechanisms on certain seats. Because of this, the seats might not properly keep a person in place during the event of a crash or otherwise. In the F-150s, F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Explorers, and Expeditions, the recall affects vehicles with manual driver and/or front passenger seat-back recliners. On the 2020 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators, rear outboard seats with manual recliners are of concern. Of the more than 550,000 vehicles, 483,325 vehicles are in the United States, 58,712 are in Canada and 8,149 are in Mexico. Thus far, Ford is not aware of any injuries from the issues. Ford says it expects most vehicles will not need repair, but dealers will inspect the seat structures out of precaution. If fault is found, dealers will replace the seat structure altogether. For this recall, Ford's reference number is 19C07. Contact your dealer for more information. Featured Gallery 2020 Ford Explorer View 47 Photos Recalls Ford Lincoln Truck SUV
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags.
