The paint is low driver quality and the body will need work to remove some dents and creases. The areas around the rear quarter panels have some rust spots near the rear tires, there are holes underneath into the trunk, the rust has been contained and holes are not visible from exterior but these panels will likely need replacing one day. There are a couple of small rust spots starting to bubble under the paint in the corners of the doors, doesn't look serious but will need to be addressed eventually. The paint is fine for now and has been on it for at least 15 years with no problems but will need repainting when the body work is done, there are a couple of chips and wear spots. This is an incredibly mechanically sound car with virtually all restored areas except for the paint and body. A little time in the body shop and you will have an amazingly original performance driver. In the condition it is in now it is still absolutely fine for driving around and having fun, no rush to get the body done immediately. I have had this car for 13 years and completed all of the improvements listed above and it has been fun to drive the whole time.  I just drove it across Florida 120 miles and it ran great the whole time, no problems. It will really move when you hit the gas and it sounds great! 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I reserve the right to cancel this auction for any reason, the car is posted for sale locally.

UPDATE: I am adding a few more pictures in the description here so you can see some of the issues with the body I described above as well as several shots of the undercarriage so you can see what good shape it's in. The rust color on the picture of the bad quarter panel is just rust prohibitive paint. Just remember the upside to the paint and body work is that you get to pick your own color...

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln 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 to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
