Very original low mileage, less than 39,000 miles, 1969 Lincoln Mark III. I bought this car about three months ago. From what I can tell the car really hasn't been on the road significantly since 1987. I have a Odometer Disclosure Statement from March 1987 showing the car had 38,376 miles then. The car when I purchased it did not run, barely rolled because the brakes were essentially locked up and was covered in years of dust from storage in a garage. I have since added a new battery, replaced the points and condenser, coil and distributor cap. I replaced the oil and filter and replaced all the coolant fluids. The transmission pan was dropped and the filter on the C6 automatic replaced. All new transmission fluid has been replaced. The old gas tank still had varnished gas in it. I dropped the tank, flushed it out and replaced the float and fuel sending unit. Fuel line was also replaced. The remaining hard lines were blown out to insure no blockages.The rear brakes were rebuilt with new wheel cylinders.The front brakes were rebuilt with new calipers, turned rotors, rubber brakes lines and rebuilt master cylinder.Brand new rear shocks. The brakes have been bled and adjusted and stop the big 'ol Lincoln sharply! I have spent over $1000 in the last week going through the top end of the engine. A lifter had gone bad in its' bore so a new set of lifters and push rods was installed. Two rocker arms needed to be replaced as well. The original carb. has been rebuilt with a new accelerator pump and fuel filter. The car runs great, goes down the road as it should. I have only driven it to and from town because it is not currently registered but have had no issues. The car really looks good from 20 feet away, but it has it's share of knicks and dings, none noticeable. The white vinyl top is fading a little and starting to lift along the rear where there is a little rust along the seem, very minor. The only real rust issue is in the rear driver side bumperette. There is a small bubbled area along the wheel arch on the rear driver's quarter, once again hardly even visible. The interior is in decent shape. The front seat does have some rips in the leather. The rear seats are great, the dash pad is not cracked. The power seats are working. The power windows seem to work when they want. The drivers side window motor is operating but the window is off track. Passenger rear window works fine. Power antennae works, AM radio works, horn sounds like a train! Power locks work. Heater, rear defroster work. Headlight doors open and close as they should. The trunk is amazing with the original trunk mat, jack and original spare tire. The car could be driven safely for a relatively short trip but I would recommend trailering; the tires don't look bad, hold air and have plenty of tread but they have likely been on the car since 1987. The car is sold as is no warranty.No reserve auction with a very low opening bid that is basically what I have in the car. All air conditioning components are in place, except the compressor belt so I don't know if it works or not. I will also entertain any trades. I am particularly interested in 1965-1967 Mercury Comet/Cyclone 2 door coupe or convt. of equal condition value. Questions email or call Dave at 217 826-8141. I am just a private individual that like to tinker with old cars. I have enjoyed getting this one back on the road, but now want a different challenge. I do have the Lincoln listed locally so if it sells before the auction expires I will cancel the listing. Thanks!

Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Tue, Apr 30 2019

Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.

Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.
