1970 Lincoln Mark Iii Exceptional Condition In/out And Ready To Drive Anywhere on 2040-cars
Shelbyville, Tennessee, United States

I am offering one of my four personal Lincoln Mark III's for sale. It is very difficult to chose which one to sell as I love each one of them for slightly different reasons which have nothing to do with condition, as each one is truly exceptional, but relates to my personal attachment to each. Being a car person my entire life, it becomes all too easy to collect up more than you have room to physically accommodate and so I find myself trying to cut back a sniff as I have recently accumulated a few vintage 4WD's. This particular Mark, which I refer to as "Roy", was originally owned by the Lincoln Dealer who ordered it new and kept it until his death when it then passed to his son. I searched the entire country, and I mean every single state, when I was buying these cars up and chose this one because of it's history and exceptional condition inside, outside, and mechanically. This car could easily be driven cross country and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere I had gas money to go as it needs nothing. If time had permitted I would have flown to Washington and driven him home as I find myself looking for reasons to drive anywhere in one and always wish for a few more miles before getting home. I have personally driven it over 5000 miles since owning and that includes both summer and winter driving. Every last option on this car functions factory new from the electric antenna to the hide-away headlights, which will stay closed indefinitely and that is rare. The Automatic Temperature Control knows exactly when to change from A/C to Heat and the optional Rear Window Defogger works perfectly. The Factory Cruise Control sets and holds the speed perfectly and the with the tilt wheel and 6 way power seats(driver and passenger), you can cruise down the road in extreme comfort. The steering is tight and responsive and the brakes stop perfectly so driving this baby is a dream. The only items that do not work are the two small rear quarter windows. As seen in the pictures, I have changed out the original 15 inch steel wheels and hubcaps for a slightly different look but will be including the original wheels/hubcaps with the sale. The trunk and engine compartment are both in the same exceptional condition as the entire car and the spare tire is brand new. The interior presents as nearly new and there are no rips or tears anywhere to be found. The rear seat has rarely seen a butt and every ash tray is virgin. The original Calvary Twill vinyl roof is just about perfect and like most of these with original roofs still in place, it adds a formal look that no other can compare. These Lincoln Mark III's were absolutely one of the finest cars ever engineered/built by any auto maker and owning/driving them is one of life's greatest pleasures in a car. While these beautiful cars came in a wide range of colors, it is very hard to find any color with more class than White with Black. Take a look at the many pictures and feel free to call david @ 931.639.3926 with any specific questions you may have. Fly in and Drive home. This car is represented honestly/accurately as it sits this moment but there is no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied.

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost
Tue, 13 Nov 2012A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
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.
