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.

Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes

Tue, 14 May 2013

When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
