1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 2dr Coupe. Aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32 valve 4 cam aluminum Cobra Motor, 4R70W Heavy Duty 4 speed automatic trans, aluminum drive shaft, 4 wheel disc brakes, posi-traction, independent front and rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and dual exhaust. Equipment includes JBL stereo system with 8 speakers, power antennae, p/seats, p/windows, p/mirrors, auto dim rearview, p/trunk release, p/fuel door, p/moon roof, climate control, onboard computer, leather interior, bucket seats with console and floor shift and more. I purchased this car from the estate of a deceased gentleman. It was parked for 2 years. I performed the following to get it road ready: Flushed the gas tank, replaced the fuel pump, changed/flushed all fluids and filters, including 12 quarts and filter for trans, replaced every hose, belt, sensor, EGR valve, plugs and wires, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, battery, starter, alternator, wiper motor, climate control head, rearview mirror assembly, power antennae motor. I then replaced the driver's power seat motor, added a nice Kenwood CD player, and Safelight put in a brand new windshield. With the car running perfectly, and the trans shifting like brand new, I completely removed the troublesome air-suspension, and replaced it with a Strut Masters conversion kit. All control arms, shocks, springs, ball joints, tie rods ends and sway bar links and steering components are new. I then spent $2000.00 on the wheels and tires you see pictured. I have over $9000.00 invested in this car. The motor and trans are great. No noise, no smoke, no leaks of any kind, great oil pressure, runs cool. Trans shifts like is brand new, when I pulled the valve covers to change the gaskets, the heads were unusually clean; the factory dual exhaust is tight and quiet. The odometer shows 155K. The car is very responsive, and I don't recommend it for a brand new driver. The blue leather interior is nice, no rips or excessive wear, no cracks on the dash. All the lights work. Lifelong North Carolina car, absolutely rust free. Everything other than what is listed below, works. A/C probably needs a charge, Cruise control needs fuse or relay, bad ground on fuel gauge. Needs to be driven. It has been sitting for a long time. All listed repairs and additions have taken place within the last 100 miles, but over a period of 2 years. It was regularly started, and I have put a few miles on it recently. It has some dings, scratches and the clear coat is peeling off the roof. The ABS light is on, but the brakes are fine. (I was told this is common when converting the suspension). Airbag light also flashes once in a while. Nice car you can drive as-is while you finish restoring, or use the very desirable drive train for a swap project. I have done a lot of work on this car, and have described it to the best of my ability. Needs some minor TLC from someone who loves cars. Clear title in hand, vehicle is not registered, but if you can get a dealer or transporter plate, I would not hesitate to drive it away. Car is for sale locally, must sell, lost storage. $500.00 non refundable deposit due through pay pal within 72 hours of purchase, remainder upon delivery. |

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
