Here are some of the features; Cartier clock, vent windows, rear defogger, central locking (doors lock when shifting into drive), climate control heat and air conditioning (yes, it blows ice cold), aluminum wheels with whitewall tires (plenty of tread), power windows (6), automatic headlights with delay, aluminum running boards, automatic headlight dimming (high beams), trunk mounted power antenna with integrated CB antenna, hydraulic over hydraulic power brakes, original matching carpeted floor mats (the dark mats you see are over the originals to protect them and will come with the car), cruise control with steering wheel buttons, remote mirrors - the driver’s side is heated, dual - six way power seats, dual illuminated vanity mirrors with Hi/Lo settings, integrated factory Ford CB radio (it still has the factory warning label on the CB radio to obtain a license before using it), rare power moon roof with full leather roof (most sunroofs came with the half roof), with the original backup crank handle, two tone green dark turquoise metallic paint (color code 4B1) with matching interior, armrests and mats, QUADRASONIC 8-Track AM/FM/CB Stereo with cassette adapter and foot switch controlled radio scanning (a VERY rare option usually seen on only the collector series), Power trunk. The vehicle also has delay wipers and tilt steering wheel.
This
vehicle has always been stored inside. Every maintenance issue has been always
corrected; new brakes - including cylinders, drums, rotors and pads, shocks,
ball joints, Exhaust Gas Return valve, power steering hoses, all maintenance
has been done to the original specifications.
The vehicle also has a BRAND NEW Carburetor (not rebuilt).
History: The vehicle was manufactured in Detroit but
for sale in Canada so the odometer is in kilometers (the mileage I listed is in
miles) and the speedometer is in both MPH and kilometers as was common for most
American cars in the late ‘70’s and 1980’s.
The car was purchased new by a man who died approximately 2 years after
buying the car and his family kept it in storage for close to 30 years before
selling it to the second owner. He had
most of the work done to the car as it had been stored for so long (I have all
receipts). He only drove it sporadically
in the summer. However, since his career
keeps him busiest in the summer months leaving little time to drive the car (he
wouldn’t drive it in winter) he decided to sell it. I am the third owner and have owned the car
since 2012. I have only put about 10 or
15 miles on the car since; driving it around town to keep the parts lubricated
in the summer only as I planned to keep it until I died.

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Sun, 02 Dec 2012Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.
2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]
Thu, 06 Feb 2014If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
