The  "Green Envy"  ~ nothing pains me more than to let her go. A real original car with lots of custom touches. This car is From Texas and has never seen a salty road. I had it shipped to me 10 years ago and never take it out in winter. The 460 V8 sounds good with the dual exhaust... the car looks like no other I have seen. I get more compliments on this car than more people do in their top dollar sports car. Everyone is a fan, old and young. 24" rims purchased last year and had them painted custom to match. I do not drive it often and they still are like new. the chrome trim shines to compliment the large rims that fit this huge car perfectly. The hub caps never did this car it's justice. It does have a working alarm and a locking gas cap. Electric bench seat works. Has a CD player that actually is a DVD player with a drop down screen. It also plays CDs of course. There is an outlet to plug in A/C power... I did at one point have a PS2 in the glove box hooked up, easy to do... Nice dash with lots of detail. Old cars are the best when it comes to details. There are a couple light scratches that should buff out, I have many pics but you really cant even see them because they are not deep- very light. The drivers side window is not working with the motor but the motor does work. someone just needs to take the panel off and figure it out. I never drive in bad weather so it really does not matter- you can lift the window by hand and it will stay put however high or low you put it. I had the front bumper rechromed and remounted and it did scuff the rubberish thing that goes under it a bit, no one ever notices it (there are pics) oh and a tear in the headliner in the rear. material is there im sure it could be sewn or touched up (in the pics) Power locks are not working -- just trying to point out the few minor flaws. I had all the trim that surrounds the taillights painted green to match the car rather than the black that comes stock on all of them no matter the color. New top because the old one was white and did not match... basically the pics say it all. Look them over. A very impressive looking car. The interior is not mint but is original and in very good condition. I can't think up anything else at the moment good or bad. This is a big beautiful car!  I have described this car well- any questions just ask. I can assure you that I love this car and will hate to see it go. I just never get to enjoy it and always have to pay for storage in the winter and it takes garage space and all else that goes with having a toy like this. Trust me I will lose money on this sale.

-- I am not new to ebay even though I have low feedback. I cannot get on my old account because the password was changed and I can't figure out how to get on it. "Frugalshopper815" is my old account with lots of feedback.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.

Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US

Tue, 14 May 2013

Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.

Lincoln to get high-end Harman Revel audio in 2015

Thu, Dec 4 2014

"They've never been in autos before, and this is going to be an absolute point of differentiation for us." – Matt VanDyke Lincoln executive Matt VanDyke admits he was "moderately interested" when he heard his brand was considering a partnership with a high-end speaker company. Then he listened to the silky sound they made. "I sat there and I was blown away," he said. That may be overselling the speakers, but they do sound good – we know, we've checked 'em out. Lincoln is betting subtle enhancements – like Harman's Revel audio systems – will help the historic automotive brand appeal to a new generation of buyers. The companies announced a 10-year deal on Wednesday to place Revel speakers in Lincoln cars and trucks beginning in 2015 models. Terms were not disclosed. Though Revel is a new name, Harman has long offered a wide array of car under other brands, including Harman Kardon, Infinity and Lexicon. The partnership launches with the next-generation MKX crossover (concept version shown above), which arrives in showrooms in 2015, and the speakers will be available on other Lincoln models, too. Revel is Harman's top-of-the-line brand that's marketed to audiophiles, and its home systems can easily cost several thousand dollars or more. In Lincolns, passengers will be able to tune their Revel system to three settings: normal stereo sound; "audience," which creates concert-like acoustics; and "on-stage," which is designed to make passengers feel like they're standing among the band. Revel and Lincoln designers also collaborated on the style of the speaker grilles to integrate them into the vehicles, and the uplevel Revel system, called Ultima, will use aluminum covers. "They've never been in autos before, and this is going to be an absolute point of differentiation for us," said VanDyke, Lincoln's global director. Though Revel is a new name to the auto sector, Harman has long offered a wide array of in-car audio and infotainment systems under other brands, including Harman Kardon, Infinity and Lexicon. The Revel partnership is part of Lincoln's efforts to elevate its image and make the brand more relevant to new and younger customers. Lincoln's Black Label line, a customization and service program, will launch at 32 dealerships in six states this year, before expanding nationwide in late 2015. Additionally, Lincoln signed Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey to star in its advertisements.
