For auction at LOW RESERVE is my 1983 Lincoln Mark VI, which is a California rust-free car with very low miles (>38k) and very little wear. The beautiful graphite plush leather interior is like new, soft and supple. Like sitting on a nice leather couch. The interior shows no wear. Dash, carpet, etc. in great shape. New floor mats. The original black over silver paint is bright and shiny, as is the chrome. Vinyl roof is new condition. Only a few minor paint blemishes, you'd never guess the paint is 31 years old! I just replaced the aging pinstripes, and the new ones are sharp looking!

The car rides and drives like my new Lincoln. The A/C blows ice cold. The tires, battery, brakes are new. The car has been completely serviced (including the transmission) and runs as it should. The only weak point on these engines is the water pump, and a new one was just installed. The car instantly starts. It smoothly, and quietly, glides straight down the road. You will be pleased with the mechanical condition.

Any negatives? I ordered a new power antenna for it; the previous owner left a new one for me to install, but it did not work. Guess what-the one I ordered had motor failure also and I just sent it back. So you can deal with it, they are inexpensive and easy to install. The right door lock is hard to lock at times, may be just an adjustment. Otherwise the Mark is good to go anywhere.

So why am I selling such a nice car that I've had only a short time? I just found and bought the muscle car of my dreams, as luck would have it, right after I bought the Mark VI. I'm out of room because I have several other classic 50's cars, and at my age (just started getting social security) I've got enough cars to keep up with. Something has to go! So I'm thinning the herd.

The car is being sold "As is-Where is", meaning you arrange for pickup and shipping at your expense. I can refer you to a local shipper who has given me excellent service on many occasions. There are no warranties. either express or implied. A non-refundable $500 deposit through Pay Pal is required within 24 hours. Balance is due via wire transfer or cashier's check before the clear title and car is released to the buyer. The Mark VI easily passed the recent CA smog test, if that is a concern for you. Burned as clean as a new car.

Please bid responsibly and realize the RESERVE IS LOW; once you hit it, you are obligated to pay for it, so be serious! Please e-mail with questions or contact me at 714-469-9517. The car is available locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Ford and Lincoln recall about 170,000 vehicles over defective rear-view camera

Wed, Sep 6 2023

Ford and Lincoln have jointly issued a safety recall that includes nearly 170,000 vans and SUVs built between the 2018 and 2023 model years. The vehicles included in the campaign are equipped with a rear-view camera whose image can cut out while the driver is backing up. Assigned recall number 23V-598 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the campaign includes the following cars: 7,649 units of the 2020-2023 Aviator fitted with the standard rear-view camera and built from October 19, 2019, to August 17, 2023. 70,600 units of the 2018-2021 Navigator fitted with the 360-degree camera and built from March 16, 2017, to December 23, 2021. 66,740 units of the 2022-2023 Transit fitted with either camera system and built from February 26, 2021, to August 17, 2023. 24,468 units of the 2021 Bronco fitted with the 360-degree camera and built from September 23, 2020, to December 22, 2021. Ford explains that the defect is present in all of the 169,277 vehicles included in the campaign. While these are different cars equipped with different technology, they all suffer from the same problem. The company explains that "customers may intermittently experience either a rear camera blue image or a full blue or black image on the SYNC [infotainment system] screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse, or when the 360-degree view is selected and available." It adds that losing the camera's image while backing up increases the risk of the crash. The cause of the problem varies from model to model. Ford has narrowed it down to the camera hardware, the wiring retention, and the Image Processing Module - V (IPMB) software. It adds that "fretting corrosion causes tin oxide formation on the internal camera connector due to [a] thermally-induced micro-movement between the tin-plated contact surfaces," and that the rate of tin oxide accumulation depends on factors such as the temperature and the humidity. It has also traced some of these issues to a problem during the manufacturing process. Ford will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles by mail on October 2. When parts are available, owners will be asked to bring their van or SUV to an authorized dealer so that a technician can replace the rear-view camera. Transit models included in the campaign will also receive a software update. Owners who have already paid to fix the problem can claim a reimbursement until June 30, 2024. This isn't Ford's first rear-view camera-related recall.

Monochromatic Package spreads to Lincoln's Corsair, Nautilus, and Aviator

Fri, Jul 10 2020

Lincoln is catering to buyers seeking a mostly chrome-free SUV by making the optional Monochromatic Package available on the Corsair, the Nautilus, and the Aviator. It was inaugurated by the Navigator in 2019. Inspired by current trends in fashion and interior design, the Monochromatic Package bundles a darker grille, tinted emblems, body-colored mirrors, and darkened trim pieces all around. It also includes black 20- or 22-inch alloy wheels, depending on the model. Lincoln made no mention of modifications in the cabin. 2021 Corsair and 2021 Aviator buyers who tick the Monochromatic Package box will be asked to choose from three colors named Pristine White, Infinite Black, and Asher Gray, respectively. The Monochromatic-equipped 2020 Nautilus will exclusively be offered in Infinite Black, while the 2020 Navigator carries on with Pristine White, Ceramic Pearl, and Infinite Black as its color options when buyers add the package. Lincoln hopes expanding the Monochromatic Package's availability will allow its SUVs to keep building momentum, but pricing information hasn't been announced yet. For context, the chrome-free look costs $3,495 on the 2020 Navigator, and it's exclusively offered on the mid-range Reserve model priced at $83,665. Like parent company Ford, Lincoln is increasingly reliant on its crossovers and SUVs. It confirmed its last two sedans, the MKZ and the Continental, will retire without a replacement in sight after the 2020 model year.

Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper.
You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.
