1990 Lincoln Mark Vii Lsc 19,500 Miles on 2040-cars
Newton, New Jersey, United States
First off.... I am not a dealer nor am I a flipper.. I'm just a car guy who does not know how to say no....My plans were to keep this car & do the five speed conversion. But I fell in love with a 73 Torino 2 door coup with a factory four speed...Need I say more????? Even though this car has low mileage I'm not going to scream & holler that its the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'll let the car & the pictures speak for them self...A lot of sellers would be screaming $15,000 $15,000 $ 15,000. I'm not even close to that. In fact my reserve is south of 10.
A gentleman from Madison NJ bought this car new & he kept it in a climate controlled garage. And from what I was told this was his baby & he rarely drove it. The car never saw snow nor did it see rain....Unfortunately he became ill & passed away in 2011. CANCER SUCKS!!! At that time the car had 10,000 miles. He willed the car to his niece. She kept it in a garage for a year & was forced to park the car outside. Approximately one year. I found the car in the summer of 13 & at that time it had 15,000 miles. We worked out a deal & its been in a garage since.
Description....1-10
Body.....9 The body is in very good shape.. It has never been hit nor has it been painted. All the original tags are in place & the paint shines. There are no dents anywhere. There are a few rock chips here & there thanks to the idiots who run Sussex County NJ. The chrome is in very good condition. The 1/4 windows do have some pitting & some of the emblems show some wear from being outside but overall they are in great shape.
Glass...9.5
Wheels...Sorry not BBS.....I know it broke my heart also. The front two need to be reconditioned or replaced. The clear failed. The rear wheels are 9 & a 9.5
Tires ....Original....Yes original.. They are in very good shape but they are just starting to crack...Just a little......Around town no problem...Highway??????
Moon roof...Does not leak!! Works perfectly.
Interior...EXCELLENT...Dam near perfect!!!!
Radio...Needs to be reconditioned......But its the highly sought after Sony single cd player without the silver buttons.
Undercarriage...9 Shows some wear due to being outside...BUT ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SURFACE RUST ON NON COATED PARTS.
Under the hood.. 8.5 Same issue as the undercarriage.
Transmission.... 10 First thing we did was drop the pan & change the fluid. It was pink so We figured it was done shortly before the owner passed. We adjusted the PSI to 32 but that was just too much like being at the drags. So we bumped it down to 30 PSI. It shifts nice & tight without too much bang. I never got around to swap out the TV connector. It still is in grat shape BUT THAT IS SOMETHING YOU MUST DO!!!
AC. Ice cold.
Air suspension.....10... Works perfectly! The bags are in excellent shape. No dry rot, cracking, or leaks.
Mechanical 9.5
The drivers air bag (SRS) does not work. The clock spring needs to be replaced.
Thats it! Everything eles works. What I have replaced.
Battery.
Water pump.
Serpentine belt.
Lower radiator hose.
Front Calibers & pads.
Passenger side lock actuator...Go figure.
Antenna...Double go figure
Overall this is a excellent car & only needs a little el bow grease. It is probably one of the tightest cars I have ever owned. Who ever buys this car will not be disappointed.
Any bidders that have a feedback of ten or less MUST contact me first or your bid will be cancelled!!
Good luck......

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving

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.

Lincoln has finally given its SUV a facelift after seven long years.
Seven years is a long time. For the auto industry, though, seven years is an absolute eternity. Most vehicles receive clean-sheet redesigns within the span of seven years, usually getting a facelift of some sort after year three or four. Not Lincoln.
