1978 Lincoln Mark V Up for Auction With NO RESERVE

81K original miles, 460 V8. Rare color combination with burgundy vinyl quarter top and burgundy padded trunk. Options include power moonroof, functional "miles to empty" digital display (a pretty expensive option in 1978), AM/FM cassette player, tilt steering wheel and remote trunk release. I am the the second owner, I have the original owner's warranty card as seen in the photo.

Mechanical: I have done a handful of things and they sure do add up. The major things I've done were a new radiator and full exhaust system, the Lincoln is remarkably quiet considering the size of the engine. I've also done a full tuneup, new disc brake pads all around, new front rotors, and had the a/c charged up last spring. The previous owner replaced the compressor and retrofitted the a/c to modern freon. I've fixed alot of smaller things; I got the cruise control working, fixed the headlight doors (which would stay open, now they close when the headlights are off) and fixed the horn. The a/c worked great all summer but seemed to need a charge by September. The steering has begun to feel a bit loose, my mechanic told me it's the "rag joint", about an $180 job. The Lincoln appears high in the back because the air shocks were over-inflated when I took the pix. I've had a few Lincoln Mark V's and this one is by far runs the best. It's very quiet and when you're stopped at a light you don't even feel the engine. 

Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, the burgundy leather is original and showing some age cracking in the driver's seat as seen in the pix. Otherwise everything inside is in great shape, the dash, door panels, carpet, headliner, visors and moonroof shade are close to perfect. Window motors, headlight doors, and power moonroof work perfectly. The original Ford AM/FM cassette player works properly as well as the power antenna. The clock does not work but I am including an entire replacement dash cluster with a working clock that I bought on Ebay ($270). It's not hard to swap out the clock, I just haven't gotten around to it. The moonroof does not leak at all, even in heavy rain or a car wash. The moonroof is huge, almost feels like a convertible when you've got it fully open. The previous owner tinted the windows; it looks nice with the white paint but is nicked in a few spots. The weatherstripping around the windows and in the trunk was replaced by the previous owner. When you're on the highway with the windows up you can't hear any road noise, it's nice and quiet inside. The paint is original but is still very presentable as seen in the pix. Some slight bubbling in the paint in a couple of spots, only visible up close. The vinyl on the roof and trunk are pretty good, the padded trunk vinyl is showing some age but I've kept it garaged and applied Armor All and it's held up well. The body is very straight, never hit or had any bodywork anywhere, the doors close easily (the last Mark V I had required a really hard slam or the doors would only partly latch) and the bumpers are shiny, no dents or peeling anywhere. Everything lines up perfectly on this car, which is great on a car with such straight body lines.

She is a total blast to drive! The power from the 460 V8 is a pleasure, the last Mark I had came with the 400 V8 and the difference between the 400 and the 460 is substantial. Cruises nicely on the highway and brakes evenly with the four wheel disc brakes. She starts on the first try even in cold weather, idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an American classic luxury cruiser should. No leaks from anywhere, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. I'm only selling the Lincoln due to financial constraints, I've got a lot of money invested in the car. I hope to find her a good home.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Lincoln is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. If you need it I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used many times in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. This is a NO RESERVE auction, top bidder gets her!

Classic Lincoln which will only appreciate in value! Any questions feel free to call or email. 914-224-3230

Hot-selling Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator get production boost

Mon, Feb 12 2018

Ford is investing an additional $25 million in its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to increase by 25 percent production of the hot-selling and all-new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs. The investment adds to $900 million in previously announced spending at the plant, which also builds F-Series Super-Duty pickups and employs 8,400 workers. Assembly-line workers are putting in overtime and working voluntary weekend shifts to keep up with demand. The new investment will cover upgrades to the assembly line but does not involve further hiring, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker says. The popularity of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator is a bright spot as Ford stock has been battered by Wall Street amid concerns concerns about the automaker's future vision and slowness to detect trends. Ford says the investment is an example of its bid to improve "operational fitness," one of CEO Jim Hackett's common refrains. Ford says Navigator retail sales more than doubled in January, and Navigators are spending an average of just seven days on Lincoln dealership lots as customers trade in vehicles including Land Rovers and Mercedes-Benz. Nearly 85 percent of buyers are opting for high-end Black Label and Reserve trim packages, contributing to an average transaction price increase of more than $21,000 in January compared to a year ago. The 2018 Navigator won the North American Truck of the Year award and also topped a Detroit News poll of public favorites at last month's Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the Expedition, meanwhile, were up almost 57 percent last month as the full-size SUVs also spent an average of just a week on dealer lots. Platinum trim models represented 29 percent of sales, pushing transaction price increases up $7,800. Ford gave the 2018 Expedition an all-aluminum body to save mass in its first significant redesign since 2007. The plant last year got nearly 400 new robots, mainly in the body shop, to help increase line speed, and Ford added a robot lab where employees can test software tweaks or troubleshoot issues away from the factory floor. The Louisville plant also benefits from extensive new data analytics, with seven big-screen monitors providing minute-by-minute updates showing progress against hourly targets or alerting workers to pending parts shortages. A huge spare-parts "vending machine" lets workers more quickly locate needed parts and keep inventory at necessary levels.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.

2020 Lincoln Aviator fuel economy revealed

Tue, Jun 18 2019

Ford finally revealed some of the last details, such as fuel economy, for the non-hybrid 2020 Explorer. So it's no surprise that its classier corporate twin, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, has had its own fuel economy data released by the EPA. Though, like the Explorer, we only have information for the non-hybrid versions. The 2020 Lincoln Aviator has just two engine options, a base turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, and the same engine coupled to a hybrid system with 450 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. That base engine is the one we have fuel economy numbers for, and it's shared with the Ford Explorer ST, though the ST's version makes an extra 15 pound-feet of torque. With all-wheel drive it gets nearly the same fuel economy as the fast Ford with 17 mpg in the city, 24 on the highway and 20 in combined driving. The Explorer ST gets one more mpg in town. Unlike the Explorer ST, the Aviator does offer rear-wheel drive with this turbocharged V6. This model gets improved fuel economy of 18 in the city, 26 on the highway and 21 in combined driving. This isn't too surprising, since all-wheel-drive vehicles often do a little worse when it comes to fuel economy. We'll be especially curious as to how the Aviator hybrid performs. We doubt it will match the Ford Explorer hybrid, since that crossover relies on a less-powerful naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6. But it might give the all-wheel-drive four-cylinder Explorer a run for its money, since the rear-drive V6 Aviator is only 1 to 2 mpg behind it. Related Video:
