Here is the chance to own a near museum quality, barn find, rare Lincoln Town Car. The car was originally purchased by an elderly couple who drove it for the first few years. The car was then left to their son who did not like the car so he put the car in his neighbor's barn where it sat for many years. It was started and run every few months but never left the barn. The owner finally just asked his neighbor if he wanted it and so the neighbor bought the car. This owner drove the car for a short time installed new brakes and then decided to put the car up for sale. I purchased the car and drove it from central Illinois to my home in South Bend, In. I had my mechanic go though the car and had the transmission seals changed, the wheel cylinders changed, a leaking power steering hose replaced; changed one of the converters and had a new exhaust system installed. I also just installed brand new Firestone tires all the way around. The pictures do not do the car justice. I have now driven the car almost 2000 miles. I take it on the highway everyday back and forth to work and it drives like a dream. It is truly just like driving a new car back in 1988. It is the signature series which is the middle trim series. You will not be disappointed in any way. Except for the work that has been done recently the car is all original. The a/c which is still on the R-12 system is ice cold. It comes equipped with power steering, brakes, windows, locks, seats, auto lamp and auto dimming; all which work as they are supposed too. The car drives straight as an arrow and cruises effortlessly down the road. The emergency brake even works as it is supposed too. There is no rust on the car and the cloth top looks just like it was installed yesterday. Check out the picture of the top up close, the seams are tight with no fading or tearing. The only thing that does not work as it should is the thermometer in the drivers mirror. It registers about 20 to 30 degrees higher than it should. The clock keeps perfect time.
The only mechanical issue with the car is a tiny, tiny, exhaust leak on the passenger side. It is either coming from the manifold itself or the riser pipe. You can only hear it if there is dead silence in the car. You have to listen for it. You cannot hear it if the windows are open or the air or radio is on. I thought about getting it fixed but I simply do not think it is bad enough to start tearing into engine.
The only cosmetic issue with the car is a small tear about a half inch long. It is not noticeable unless you look for it. I actually did not find it until I got the car home and had it for a few weeks. There are no dings or dents in the body and there is only one very light scratch about 2 inches long on the left rear quarter panel. There is some pitting around the headlights but this is from being driven at highway speeds, every one has them. The paint is glossy and deep. Many of these cars have paint issues on the right side of the hood where the clear coat wears off. This one is near flawless.
I bought this car with every intention of keeping it forever. This is my favorite Town Car. I do not have to sell the car but I have a chance to invest in some real estate and would like a little extra cash on hand. If this car was in a dealer showroom they would be asking anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. My reserve is set well below the $10,000 mark. I am not asking for a pie in the sky price but would like to make a few bucks on it. If I don't get my reserve I will simply keep it.

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.
Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion
Thu, 11 Sep 2014We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
2020 Lincoln Corsair spied inside and out, ready to replace the MKC
Fri, Feb 22 2019Last year we were told the Lincoln MKC crossover would be renamed the Lincoln Corsair for the 2020 model year. A full exterior and interior redesign is on its way to go with the name change, one we get to see up close and personal here. We were led to believe that the Corsair would take its design cues from the handsome three-row Aviator SUV. That sentiment rings true for the exterior and interior as we take a look at these first spy shots of the smallest Lincoln crossover. The silhouette of the Corsair is near spot-on that of the Aviator's — it's smaller in every way, but styling elements like the grille, taillights, tapered rear window and overhanging spoiler all scream Aviator. Even the wheels look ripped straight from a lower-spec Aviator. We think that's great, because the Aviator is one hell of a looker now that all the camouflage has been stripped off it. Lincoln is bringing its new interior styling to the small crossover too, it appears. The shots we get to see here show that this won't even come close to resembling its redesigned Escape sibling on the inside. Instead, we're feeling Navigator and Aviator vibes all over. The big screen perched on top, chrome everywhere and classy appearance is reassuring; any concern over seeing a Lincoln version of a Ford on the inside should be wiped away with these photos. This interior looks like it's ready for the showroom floor, too. We're thinking you'll likely be able to buy one before the year is done. A report earlier this week shed some light on possible powertrain options we could see on this crossover related to the Ford Escape. A 2.0-liter Ecoboost engine is likely to be the base option, while the 2.3-liter Ecoboost will remain as an upgrade. The possibility of a plug-in hybrid version looms, though. With the Lincoln Aviator going that route, an electrified option for the smaller crossover could prove appealing for some buyers not wanting to pony up for the big Aviator. A reveal for this crossover should be coming soon at this rate, possibly even at the N.Y. Auto Show in April this year. Related video:
