Offered here is a 1979 Bill Blass Edition Mark V. 130391 original miles! Garage kept since I bought it in 2003. I have been slowly restoring this beautiful automobile. Its been in storage for the past three years. Now I am moving and can't take it with me. I have nearly 10K invested in its restoration. I recently started driving it again to limber it up. I gave it to my mechanic to go over thoroughly. The battery, solenoid, gas tank, gas float and tail pipe was replaced. Rebuilt carburetor. Front end alignment is less than 30 days old. The 400 cu. inch V8 engine runs smoothly with good power. The transmission shifts smoothly. The AC was recharged and blows cold. Power windows work. (I have both side replacement door glass panels I will throw in FREE if you want them.) The body work has all been done. Car is ready for paint. The grille housing and hood ornament were NOS parts when installed 4 years ago. I installed the gold grille insert pulled from a Collector Series car. Upgraded Collector Series Ebony Wood interior includes matching steering wheel with inlaid ebony trim. The car has a VERY RARE OEM AM/FM Stereo Radio with WORKING CASSETTE. I had the unit completely rebuilt by a shop in Richmond, VA. Power antenna works. The overall chrome on the car is beautiful. Only real exception is the passenger side mirror. The body side molding is NEAR MINT. Most moldings on these cars have been dinged to death over time. NOT THE CASE HERE!!!! White leather interior is in very good condition. Carpet is still rich blue. Tires have good tread.
KNOWN DEFECTS: There is a small tear in the white headliner above the driver side visor. See photo. One other blemish is the fiberglass nose piece that includes the concealed head lamp covers. The carburetor mechanic cracked the lower edge beneath the headlamp covers on the driver side. See photo. Buyer can either choose to repair this in place. OR. I have available for FREE a new complete assembly in white! The power door locks and power trunk release no longer work. I believe it may be the switches regarding the door locks since the actuators had been replaced. Passenger side mirror chrome is pitted. Clock runs, but does not keep time. This of all too common. The clock can be rebuilt. I just never got around to it. Additional pictures are available upon request. Car is located in Williamsburg, VA and is available for viewing and can be test driven. Contact me for details.

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Lincoln's first shipment of cars arrives in China
Mon, 15 Sep 2014It has been two years since Lincoln first announced its plans to expand into China, and the first models destined for sale in the giant automotive market just came off the boat in Shanghai on September 10. It's going to be a few weeks before Chinese buyers actually have the chance to get behind the wheel, though.
The first two models being offered to China are the MKZ and MKC, as seen arriving in these photos, and they are going to be sold at dealers that look more like hotels than traditional showrooms. The first four are opening in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou in October, with a grand unveiling of the new brand to Chinese consumers later that month. By the end of the year, Lincoln wants to have eight dealers operating in seven cities. By 2016, the automaker wants to have a lineup of five models available in the People's Republic.
"This is the culmination of months of teamwork and collaboration both in North America and here in China," said Robert Parker, President of Lincoln China, in the company's release.
