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 tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
