Above average condition 1988 Lincoln Mark 7 LSC with 302 HO engine and Automatic transmission. Oxford White with Dark Blue leather interior. Original leather interior in above average condition with factory carpeting and headliner (Sale includes a set of floor mats). Factory JBL Audio System intact except for original head unit which was replaced with a Sony cassette deck that doesn’t work. Exterior paint is original with the exception of the front end which was repainted at some point. Paint on roof and deck lid thin in places as this is a single stage paint job. Some small door dings in deck lid and quarter panels but nothing major. Lower rocker accent color was recently repainted. No rust, no funky smells or cigarette reek or pet dander issues. Front fog lamps missing but all other hardware for these intact. Factory alloy wheels refinished and shod with four matching tires that have about 10K left. Power windows and mirrors all work. All weather stripping nice. New windshield and windshield wipers….wiper arms refinished. All molding around windows refinished where vinyl tape peels off over time. Original motor has never been part and recently passed California smog. New Air and oil filter, oil and spark plugs. Air cleaner silencer intake removed for better breathing. Newer alternator . Brand new radiator, hoses and coolant with complete system flush. No oil smoking, noises or engine warning light issues. Air ride system gone though and has newer Arnott bags at all four corners as well as a number of O-rings. ABS system extensively flushed and brand new accumulator installed. To be clear….NO Brake or Suspension warning light issues. Newer brake pads/shoes and strut/shocks at all four corners. Newer front ABS sensors. Air conditioning system just topped off with R12 and proper oil. Ignition switch replaced but key has not been cut to match original door pattern. Runs/ drives great, is reliable and would make an excellent daily driver. This vehicle is on the same platform as a Mustang of the same year (Fox body). The Trip Minder on these vehicles has an issue wherein it beeps on startup to warn you when the fuel level gets low. Over time the capacitors leak and it warns you even when the tank is mostly full. This car is no exception although it seems to do it intermittently of late. The unit can be sent out and repaired by a specialist –or- you can just hit the Reset button on startup and the beep is cancelled.

2017 Lincoln Continental spied on the inside

Fri, Dec 18 2015

We just saw the lightly camouflaged exterior of the 2017 Lincoln Continental a few days ago, and a new set of spy shots now give us an even better look inside the upcoming luxury sedan. Where the outside largely brings the concept's design to the road, the production interior shows far more compromises. Rather than the expanse of blue leather and Alcantara upholstery, Lincoln's stylists tone things down with a mostly black cabin. While less overwhelming than on the showcar, there's still no shortage of chrome because strips of the shining metal outline nearly every surface. Wood accents also help add some visual interest. The general cabin layout remains close to the concept. The infotainment system gets prime position near the top of the center stack, and the buttons for the transmission sit vertically on the left side of the screen. The design then flows to an angled console that features physical controls for things like the radio and HVAC. These photos provide another view at the nearly undisguised exterior, too. The Lincoln emblem at the front is chrome on this test car, and you can now spot more shining trim underneath the grille. Also look close for a better view of the door handles along the beltline. We expect the full reveal of the production Continental at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Related Video:

Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang

Wed, Sep 20 2017

DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.

Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
