This is a two tone Mark ll, one of 16, with maybe 3 originals left, Dark Bronze roof, Light bronze lower. This car is at least 80% there. The frame is bad. Listed below is what the winning bid receives.

This car has a nice body for being 57 years old.

The front floor pans have already been replaced.

Exhaust in the car is very solid.

A good radio core with the KNOBS to use for a conversion to am/fm.

A real nice instrument cluster, with working gauges.

Power seat motors, front door window motors.

The rear seat can be dyed and reused, the front will have to be redone.

Passenger side rocker molding is in decent shape, And you will get a NOS driver side rocker with the car. [$700 value]

Hood chrome trim is very nice shape.

Front and rear bumpers clean up real nice and are good driver quality.

Both taillight assby are there, and the hinges are in good shape on the fuel tank side.

The car has tinted glass, all good, but it is a non a/c car.

It come with a good set of hood hinges, no slop or worn out.

The grill will clean up nice, and the center bar is perfect, no dents or cracks. [$350 value]

 

Now a description of the engine and rolling frame.

The frame had 2 SMALL bad spots that I repaired with heavy steel patches. Then gave a quick coat of black paint so it would not get surface rust.

The engine is a 57,000 mile engine with no leaks, no taps, no smoke, no gunk build up inside. This motor needs nothing, it sounds great. This motor came from another Mark ll. I drove the car before I cut it up. The carb may need rebuilt, as it has been sitting in my shop for 3 years, and the gaskets may have dried up.

The transmission from the same car. It shifts smooth, with no leaks.

Rear brakes are on the frame, front ones need to be switches from the donor car to the rolling frame.

After you make the switch to the good frame, you will have a lot of parts that are extra, or you could sell. There is a complete suspension and a rebuilt trans in the donor car.

Parts I know you will need to finish. Vent window motors, quarter window motors, door locks. I THINK I have a outside mirror and a trunk medallion, that you could get rechromed, again, I THINK!

Please do not ask what the reserve is, bid what it is worth to you. I will try to answer all your questions asap.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.

Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
