This is still an extraordinary luxury car.

I bought this Mark VIII from the owner of the repair shop where I have all my cars serviced. It is the first and the best of the two that I own.

He was retiring and this was his wifes' car. He said he purchased it from an estate in NY with very low miles. He had it repainted when he got it. Totally maintained while he had it and I've maintained it well while I've owned it.

Gave it to my wife for her use.

Now that I'm up to 15 cars, I've got to sell about half of them to get back to 'normal'.

This has the 4.6L double overhead cam and it is really, really fast. Fast off the line. Hitting passing gear at 45mph, it goes into 'hyperdrive.' Most amazing response.

All of that and it still gets over 21 mpg.

Please look at the pics carefully and note the peeling paint on the hood and front bumper and the dent on the leading edge of the hood. Needs a good car wash, buffing and interior detail. Drivers seat show heavy wear on the bolster. The air ride suspension has been replaced, so no issues there. The inspection sticker just expired and although the tires are first rate and have excellent tread, since it has been sitting for a couple of years with little use, the sidewalls have developed cracking and it will not pass a Virginia inspection. I haven't driven it enough since I've owned it to need to replace the new tires I put on it when I bought it! I've drove it at the end of May to work and back (50+ miles) without issue and the tires hold air without any problem, but I wouldn't take it at highway speeds for a long trip without addressing new tires.

AC needs recharge. I do it about once a season.

Time to let it go.

2017 Acura NSX #001 is finally here | Autoblog Minute

Sat, May 28 2016

The first 2017 Acura NZX rolls off the line in Ohio and Lincoln may be ditching some initials for a classic nameplate. Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] The first 2017 Acura NSX rolled off the assembly line this week in Marysville, Ohio. Marking the return of the iconic supercar. VIN #001 went to Nascar Owner Rick Handpick. He paid $1.2M at auction for the first NSX. The proceeds went to charity. The 2017 NSX uses a twin turbo V6 teamed with three electric motors to make a total of 573-hp and 476-lb.ft of torque. The supercar also runs a nine speed dual clutch transmission and AWD. The starting price is $157,800 but you can option this thing out to well over $200k. Ford Motor Company applied this month to get the rights to the trademark for the word Zephyr. Lincoln is using some real names again aside from these MKC and MKX things that don't mean a lot to the general public. The Navigator is going strong and a new one comes on next year. Plus it brought back the Continental which was a well revived move. So Zephyr should ring a bell it was used in the 1930s and 40s, it was also used a little less memorably in 2006 on a Lincoln model that was essentially a rebadged Ford Fusion. Here's the take away: we think the MKZ might be rebadge as the Lincoln Zephyr. For Autoblog I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.

Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
