Trying this again....GREAT vehicle that is sure to please! Masculine piece of Americana that will turn the heads and soothe the souls!!
This is a REAL 2-owner antique coupe with a strong 460cu engine and tight transmission that can be a daily driver or a great conversation piece!
The vehicle has 11,954 miles on it. Obviously there is no way I know of to guarantee those are the exact miles, however, given the condition of the vehicle, the smell, the ride, and anything else I can think of to debunk the miles on the odometer, I could not imagine it not being the actual mileage.
Vehicle was originally bought by a rather large (350lb) man who parked the vehicle in a dark, no window garage in late 1982/early 1983. It sat there until the second owner purchased it five (5) years ago. Immediately the second owner had the fuel tank and lines replaced along with the radiator core. He did this to remove any bad fuel and replaced the radiator core at the suggestion of his mechanic because coolant may have the potential to eat and leak after sitting that long.
Other than that you are looking at an all original 1974 Lincoln Mark IV Coupe.
This vehicle drives strong and rides smooth. Gears shift nice and tight with no jerking motions.
So there we have the good. Now what you all want to know....what's not perfect about this awesome car??
As I said, a large man drove it so even with the LOW miles, there is some wear on the drivers seat, but not ripped or anything. Feels like it could use a spring for a little more support. Also, due to the man's size, I am unable to get power to the drivers power seat. I am 6'1 and it sits fine for me and my wife is 5'9 an sits ok for her too.
The headliner is hanging about an inch right at the drivers side sun-visor, but the rest is in good shape.
There are probably 5 or 6 small paint flakes around the body; none larger than the tip of my pinky. Also, on the drivers door, you can barely see where he used his thigh to nudge the door closed. The current owner and my wife don't see it, but when you pick as many cars as I have, it's there. Easy fix but not noticeable to the average eye.
The chrome trim is in nice shape however the trim along the passengers side has some dings. Not hail but not sure what it is. May be able to ping it out; not major.
When the vehicle is started, the headlamp covers close unless you turn the lights on, then they open. However, when you park the car and turn the engine off, the headlamp covers slowly slide back open.
Overall this is a great car that can absolutely be enjoyed the way it sits with no additional work or money invested by you. At the same time, if you just really want to play with it, it would take VERY little to make this a no-pick car that could get valued over $20k if you went through it with a comb and just dotted all the I's.
Gentleman I am representing this car for has simply collected too many toys and his wife is on him to clear out the barn!
Don't let this one slip by!! Do your homework before you bid...Cars like this with MUCH higher miles (50k-80K) and lesser desired color combinations sale all day for big money!! You get the DEAL because I need it GONE!!
Whoever gets this will be sitting pretty whether you keep it for your collection, for your daily driver, or if you want to turn a profit!
Feel free to contact with ANY questions...I pride myself on telling the good, the bad, and the ugly on all vehicles I represent. No car is perfect but this one is absolutely better than average.
There is no financing on this vehicle. We can accept cash, certified funds, or electronic transfer. Shipping is not included however I will gladly help negotiate shipping for the buyer if desired.
NO FLAKES PLEASE!!
Thanks for bidding. jf@FamilyFirstAutomotive.com

Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?
Fri, 18 Jan 2013There's no single silver bullet that will cure all that ails the Lincoln brand, and Ford knows that just as surely as we do. Coming out with exciting new models like the well-received MKC crossover counts as several steps in the right direction, assuming of course that the production version is as appealing as the concept just shown at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but more is needed. According to Jim Farley, executive vice president of Lincoln, one more trick may be "mass customization."
Put another way, Lincoln is considering ways to allow buyers to customize their new vehicles right off the showroom floor, similar to how things are done at Mini, and, to a lesser extent, Scion, where Farley previously served as corporate manager. Imagine, for instance, ordering a new MKC with a large Lincoln insignia embossed into the leather seatbacks, according to Automotive News.
While we're not so sure anybody is all that interested in paying extra for more Lincoln logos, it's a strategy that has proven rather fruitful at Mini. Only time will tell if Ford's erstwhile luxury division will once again be seen as something truly worth reaching for, and if customers are willing to pay a further premium for customization.
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. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
