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 between $8,500 and $14,000.

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.

Thanks for bidding. jf@FamilyFirstAutomotive.com

Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

There'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.

Getting a new car is an amazing experience. The fresh new scent, the barely touched interior, the double digit miles on your odometer, and... the depreciation once it leaves the car dealers lot? Maybe not that last one. To save you from the hurt of a quickly depreciating new car, we collected 8 of the fastest depreciating cars in America. And here's a surprise, one of them is a Toyota.

2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
