1998 Lincoln Mark Viii on 2040-cars
Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, United States
208,000 original miles. I am the second owner . . . had it since 2002 (50,000 miles) . . . had been a Lincoln-Mercury dealer's personal car . . . bought it from George Wall Lincoln in Shrewsbury, NJ.
Was my daily driver before the storm (Sandy). It only got its "feet wet" . . . never submerged. Minor damage . . . water only got up to lug nuts and carpets were wet . . . was only in the water for about an hour and a half at high tide. Starts and runs but air ride suspension went down two days after Sandy. Many recently new parts including suspension air bags front and rear, radiator . . . have much of the paperwork for documentation. Lots of other things replaced over the years. Had a professional headlight restoration done a few months before the storm. Needs a new driver's seat . . . six-way adjust system has stripped gears . . . not storm damage. Toreador Red Metallic with clean grey leather interior. Not smoked in . . . ashtrays never got dirty. A few "battle scars" on the body but nothing major. Good tires . . . lots of miles left on them. Great factory installed JBL sound system . . . 10 CD changer (with two magazines), cassette player, AM(Stereo)/FM(Stereo) radio. V8 motor strong . . . no signs of transmission problems. Plus or minus 20 mpg. Runs fine on regular. Loved and took care of this car . . . religious oil and filter changes. Clean title. It's a "whole car." Would love to have done a ground up restoration but can't handle that right now. Sold "as is." Buyer assumes transportation costs. |

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
Lincoln Continental prototype breaks down, requires a tow
Wed, Dec 2 2015Sometimes, cars break. Sometimes, said cars happen to be prototypes covered in camouflage. And sometimes, spy photographers are on hand to capture the sad sight. Such is the case here, as our trusty long-lenses have captured images of a stricken Lincoln Continental getting a tow back the shop. It's not clear what happened with the wounded Continental, but its unfortunate breakdown has given us a great look at the car's sprawling glass roof. Like the current MKZ, it looks like the Conti's panoramic roof can slide back, although we doubt it will cover up any element of the rear window, like its smaller sibling. And unlike our previous round of spy photos, this latest gallery gives us a look at a rather substantial set of integrated exhaust tips (i.e. fakes that have been fitted directly to the rear bumper cover). We can also spy a bit of the interior, although it's nowhere near as good as our last round of images. These shots do, however, show off a full roll cage and a fire extinguisher, but we wouldn't count on those being offered with the production model. Their presence here, though, leads us to believe that the car in question is probably some kind of vehicle dynamics tester. Look for a full introduction of the all-new Continental next month, when it debuts at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
