See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"We purchased this vehicle as a parts car for my mothers 1998 lincoln towncar. He neighbor blew the motor when he was trying to jump it from his truck. The extra power somehow damaged a bearing and the motor started knocking. Its a great shape and could easily be repaired. It needs a new block and cylenders. I am not a mechanic have no desire to deal with it. We listed her white towncar (excellent shape) a few days ago. this vheicle has been sitting on my lot for over 3 years and I just want it GONE ASAP!It has ALOT of good parts.- Alternator- Brakes- Rotors- AC System- Heater Core - Switches Window- Everything on the vehicle works EXCEPT the engine. It could be replaced for less than $1000 if you know what your doing or if you have a mechanic thats reasonable. Its fairly easy to do.The car has new airbags and all new front suspention. The former owner spent a ton on it."

Everything works but the Engine itself. It will run but not drivable with the engine knocking so hard. It would be a good fixer up er since the exterior and interior are in good shape (See Pic) The engines can be bought used for less than $500 bucks and can be installed for about 500 as well. For $1000 bucks in repair it would make an awsome car. Drives like new (when the engine wasnt knocking!!)

YOU WILL HAVE TO TOW IT HOME. IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN.

Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars

Mon, Oct 6 2014

U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.

Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.

Wed, May 9 2018

BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford — as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz — had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
