1973 Lincoln Continental Coupe Custom Beauty With 24" Rims That Match on 2040-cars
Rockford, Illinois, United States
The "Green Envy" ~ nothing pains me more than to let her go. A real original car with lots of custom touches. This car is From Texas and has never seen a salty road. I had it shipped to me 10 years ago and never take it out in winter. The 460 V8 sounds good with the dual exhaust... the car looks like no other I have seen. I get more compliments on this car than more people do in their top dollar sports car. Everyone is a fan, old and young. 24" rims purchased last year and had them painted custom to match. I do not drive it often and they still are like new. the chrome trim shines to compliment the large rims that fit this huge car perfectly. The hub caps never did this car it's justice. It does have a working alarm and a locking gas cap. Electric bench seat works. Has a CD player that actually is a DVD player with a drop down screen. It also plays CDs of course. There is an outlet to plug in A/C power... I did at one point have a PS2 in the glove box hooked up, easy to do... Nice dash with lots of detail. Old cars are the best when it comes to details. There are a couple light scratches that should buff out, I have many pics but you really cant even see them because they are not deep- very light. The drivers side window is not working with the motor but the motor does work. someone just needs to take the panel off and figure it out. I never drive in bad weather so it really does not matter- you can lift the window by hand and it will stay put however high or low you put it. I had the front bumper rechromed and remounted and it did scuff the rubberish thing that goes under it a bit, no one ever notices it (there are pics) oh and a tear in the headliner in the rear. material is there im sure it could be sewn or touched up (in the pics) Power locks are not working -- just trying to point out the few minor flaws. I had all the trim that surrounds the taillights painted green to match the car rather than the black that comes stock on all of them no matter the color. New top because the old one was white and did not match... basically the pics say it all. Look them over. A very impressive looking car. The interior is not mint but is original and in very good condition. I can't think up anything else at the moment good or bad. This is a big beautiful car! I have described this car well- any questions just ask. I can assure you that I love this car and will hate to see it go. I just never get to enjoy it and always have to pay for storage in the winter and it takes garage space and all else that goes with having a toy like this. Trust me I will lose money on this sale.

I cannot get on my old account because the password was changed and I can't figure out how to get on it. "Frugalshopper815" is my old account with lots of feedback.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch
Fri, Oct 7 2016MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
Thu, 25 Apr 2013If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.
