UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS SUPREME 1979 LINCOLN MARK V CONTINENTAL TRIM “PERSONAL LUXURY VEHICLE”. 34,799 ORIGINAL MILES, SINGLE OWNER UNTIL 2014, CLEAN TITLE IN-HAND. TEN (10) DAY AUCTION WITH OPENENING BID AT $2,500.00. I AM A FAN OF TRADITIONAL AUCTIONS; THEREFORE THIS LISTING HAS NO RESERVE. HAPPY BIDDING! ABOUT LINCOLN'S MADE IN 1979: 1979 was the last year of the production of large, over-stated personal luxury vehicles. Emissions laws effective in 1980 required better fuel economy and air pollution standards. The 1979 Mark X certainly went out with a bang. Lincoln also celebrated their Diamond Jubilee in 1979, therefore this is a rare edition vehicle, in excellent condition with low mileage. HISTORY: This super-clean and super-sweet car has enjoyed a single owner and has always been garaged. Very well maintained, the interior and exterior wear and tear is consistent with the original 34,799 miles. This car was donated to the local Meals on Wheels program as part of an estate donation. I was able to speak to the donor, who informed me this was his Mother's car, and that she had just passed away. It took me about two (2) weeks to be comfortable driving this car. I have always driven large vintage cars, but this car is so long and wide, the hood so long and the steering so precise that I found myself overcorrecting. I am now an expert! This car was recently driven on an 800 mile round trip to Omaha, NE. This was the best road trip I have ever had. The car sailed down the highway as if it were meant to fly. Very comfortable, with velvet smooth three-speed transmission. The engine on this car is extremely reliable and I would drive this car anywhere with little worry. A cold start and the engine revs right up. Warm start is a little tricky - these older gas engines can "flood" themselves if you are unfamiliar with older cars. I have now mastered the warm start too! This car has been detailed and looks absolutely amazing. EXTERIOR: This 1979 Lincoln Mark V Continental is laser straight and in overall excellent condition. Brilliant gold on gold (Diamond Jubilee edition) original paint with subtle burgundy pin-striping. Stunning chrome trim, bumpers and Rolls Royce style grille. Mint vinyl half-top roof and gleaming windows. Rear opera windows have engraved Lincoln logo, with many other design features that are unique and over-stated. This car is not for someone shy. You will get compliments on it everywhere you go. A real conversation piece. INTERIOR: Ivory, beige and brown interior. The velvet upholstery (split-bench front with individual armrests) is in superb condition and the carpet and original floor mats are mint. Overall vinyl is beautiful and the dash is mint with no cracks. Interior mirrors and lights in superb condition with an elegant lighting design (see nighttime photos). Cartier clock on driver’s side dash. Impressive interior space (this is a very large car to be a coupe). Also includes original full floor (front and back) protective/decorative vinyl mats. These mats were used by the original owner since new. When I removed them, I discovered the pristine carpet and mats in mint condition. SPECS: 19 feet, 16 inches long, – 6.65 inches wide,4.5 inches tall; 4800 pounds; 120.3 in wheel base Very reliable 6.6 liter V-8 engine; Power windows/seats/doors; Newer tires; Climate control; Power steering and brakes; Lighted vanity mirrors (driver and passenger side); Factory original CB and 8-track player; Vintage floor mounted cellular phone; Recent oil/lube/fluid and air filter service; New high-end windshield wipers. |

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns
Tue, Dec 29 2015Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick
Mon, Dec 16 2019The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video: Â Â Â
