Alright folks, I had this listed a few weeks ago, but the bids did not meet my reserve. The top bid was $2650, and it was very, very close to the reserve. So I'm relisting with no reserve and a starting bid of $2500.
In my original listing I said "This car is rough, but has been in covered storage since 1995. It was driven into its present home but has not been started since. At the time, the convertible top relay system, radio, vacuum door locks, electric windows all worked. All chrome is in good shape.
On Saturday, my old friend Mac and I forewent a day of fishing and went down to the shop and started it up. We pulled the plugs, shot some WD-40 in the cylinders, reinstalled the plugs, and it fired right up. We manipulated the top up and down and then I drove it outside. See new photos. Transmission and rear end worked fine. Some windows worked, some didn't. Steering works. Brakes are iffy. Alternator, gages, lights, blinkers, all worked. Did not run air condioning becuase of no belts, but AC pulley turns freely on clutch. Starter strong. Carburetor needs rebuilding. Not sure about the fuel pump because we bypassed it in favor of fresh gas out of a can. Radio comes on but doesn't tune. Wipers don't work. Electric radio antenna does work. I did not check fuses on anything electrical.
Car also comes with four boxes of miscellaneous parts, window actuation assembly, many relays, AC compressor. I don't know the condition of any of these but some appear new in plastic bags. Also the original jack and accessories are in trunk.
A prior bidder asked about the condition of the trunk bottom. There is some surface rust and some small rust holes in the spare tire well. See photo.
Based on the 1991 license plates, I would say that the car has not been driven since then. All four tires hold air long enough to get it on a trailer, three of them for at least a week, one overnight..
And yes, I've got the hubcaps, plus one extra.

2019 Lincoln MKC crossover dials up the luxury perks
Tue, Nov 21 2017Lincoln is taking the wraps off its 2019 MKC, which hits showrooms next summer, revealing a substantially refreshed, more stylish compact luxury crossover that adds new driver-assistance and connectivity technologies and a host of premium ownership perks and options. They include new Black Label personalized trim themes and the ability to pick an exclusive dinner from a curated list of chef-driven restaurants. As we previously forecast, the MKC gets the new Continental-style grille, plus new LED headlamps and a neat touch in a Lincoln welcome mat illuminated on the ground from underneath both front doors to welcome driver and passenger. It also adds new driver-assist features including a pre-collision assist warning and braking system that can detect pedestrians, plus available options like lane-keeping alerts, parallel-parking assistance and a blind spot information system. Owners can also opt for the Lincoln Black Label treatment, which includes premium trim upgrades but also a roster of membership perks: annual vehicle detailing, anytime carwashes and access to a curated list of restaurants where feted chefs will prepare a special dining experience. There are three Black Label themes, each inspired by the arts, travel, fine food and culture: Modern Heritage, defined by a clean, modern aesthetic and Vianca White Venetian leather Indulgence, which lives up to its billing with surfaces trimmed in Venetian leather and Alcantara and accents from Ziricote wood And Center Stage, inspired by the world of theater, featuring a diamond-L perforation pattern on the Alcantara cloth inserts finished with precisely stitched Foxfire Red piping, exotic wood accents and Jet Black Venetian leather with Firefox Red accents. In addition, the Reserve trim features a Rialto Green cabin with black ash wood accents, which Lincoln says reflects a current theme popular in high fashion. Other options include a panoramic roof and heated and cooled seats. As part of what the Ford sub-brand calls the "effortless ownership experience," the MKC will come with standard pickup and delivery service to and from dealerships for service visits, plus the use of a loaner Lincoln while the car is being worked on. Lincoln says it's the only luxury brand that offers such a service standard.
Woman keying luxury car caught on tape
Thu, Nov 12 2015Toronto police are on the hunt for a disguised woman who was caught on camera Sunday keying a car. The woman sported a red bandana over her face and baseball cap as she ran up to the Lincoln MKS in a driveway, the Toronto Star reported. She then went to town with a sharp object, gleefully scratching the car's paint job. She runs off after nearly a minute of enthusiastic damage. Police believe the victim and the vandal know each other, since the Lincoln is the only car in the neighborhood she hit. This is also the third time this particular car has been damaged. They suspect this woman is responsible for the previous incidents. Toronto police told the Star that it will likely cost Lincoln owner thousands to have his car repaired. Security cameras are great for catching vandals in the act, though the videos are difficult for any car enthusiast to watch. Take for instance this video from London in April of a man scratching an Aston Martin while pushing a baby stroller. News Source: The Toronto Star Lincoln Videos vandalism scratch
