Engine had Cobra valve covers and front of engine has a serpentine belt,don;t know if it came that way or was changed.New tires were installed on factory wheels.While it was in the shop a young boy backed a riding tractor into shop and barely skinned the passengers door. A very thin layer of fiberglass was professionally applied and repainted with matching ford lime paint.Car has A/C compressor on engine and condenser,but needs under dash unit to operate.I purchased one,but it has not been installed on car,if buyer wants it, and additional fee of $400.00 will be required.The car has no rust in floor pans or trunk,body is solid and straight except for the small place on the passenger door. It is running and driving,however still needs minor bugs worked out,so I would suggest the car be trailered home. Exterior chrome is in very good condition with minor rust in the corner curves,trim is very good.Seats are bench, front seat has about a 1" repaired place where the seat folds forwars to let someone in rear seat. Rear seat ,headliner,and decklid look beautiful as well as door panels. The dash has no cracks or splits,.all of interior is black. New 14" itres were installed on the factory rims. The mileage reads 35979,however due to not being able to get signed document from original owner (deceased) the Virginia DMV states the car is in excess of 100k miles.They are real sticklers for that.All the glass is good no cracks or fading.The rubber spacer that sits against the two front side glasses needs replacing.as well as the dome light,needs replacing.,its there but lens has broken. I have a catalog that the parts are listed in and they are not to expensive,its just that I have so much money invested I can't proceed as I have become 100% disabled and am no longer able to work as I used to.

Perferred method of payment is PAYPAL,or USPS money order,or Certified Bank Check only. I have driven the car and it runs very good and trans shifts so smooth it is unreal.the mechanic I had do all the work for me said the trans had brass clutches in it,the best according to him.The car was a special order as it came with auto trans,not straight gear.The reserve is very reasonable for a car of this caliber,you sure don't see many around and it draws attention when you drive it.Paypal address is lukeosi@comcast.net.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
