1972 Lincoln Mark IV Clean sunny Southern California car. I purchased 2 years ago from the original owner I and drive it daily owner was a non-smoker, the ashtrays are only used to hold pocket change. Car has been well cared for maintained, always been garaged and spends its time driving in the tropical climate of Palm Springs. I get thumbs up, friendly comments from people and others asking to take pictures every time I drive this car. The car drives perfectly. Freeway speed of 70 or 80 mph are smooth and quiet, no shakes, no rattles, no wind. Air conditioning blows cold (I use it daily). All exterior lights work, all interior lights work including dash lamps and even all four ashtray lights. Original leather upholstery is very nice, still soft, supple and comfortable after 42 years, the vinyl roof is absolutely perfect, all glass is good with no cracks or chips, door and trunk weather strip is still soft and seals properly, chrome and bright metal still shines and shows well. With the exception of a few touchups over the years the car retains mostly original paint. It shines and shows well however there are a few small scratches here and there and slight sun fading on the upper surfaces from the California sun. Of course there are no rust issues. All 4 tires are new with less than 3,000 miles. Spare tire, jack and lug wrench are all in place. Brakes function as designed and stop true and straight. Car also retains the California blue plates originally issued to it. While this former beauty queen is not museum quality after 42 years, it is certainly a fine looking and fine driving example of true 70's luxury and a standard in American auto manufacturing and quality that no longer exists. Fly in to Palm Springs and drive home with confidence. 1972 was the first year for the new Mark IV body style and unique as it was the only year to display the designer's choice for front bumper before the federally mandated, and much heavier looking, 5mph bumpers installed on all 1973 and later vehicles losing the clean original lines forever. The '72 Mark IV came with the following standard equipment: 6 Way Twin Comfort Lounge Seats (all working) Dark Blue Vinyl Roof 460 V-8 Engine Power Steering Power Brakes Sure Track Brake System Automatic Park Brake Release Automatic Temperature Control Tinted Glass Power Windows Power Antenna (works) Long Shear Cut Pile Carpeting Remote Driver's Mirror Rim Blow Steering Wheel Cartier Electric Clock (works perfectly) This particular Lincoln also came with the following optional equipment: Blue Moondust Metallic Paint (more metallic than the standard Lincoln paint) Silver Iridescent Pin Stripe Horizontal Front Bumper Guard (currently removed by personal choice but is in trunk and very nice) Auto Headlamp Dimmer Intermittent Windshield Wipers Electric Rear Window Defogger Convenience Group (power trunk release, power door locks) AM/FM Stereo 8 Track Tape Player (both bands work, 8 track tape player works and includes Ford Family Of Fine Music tape) Automatic Speed Control (works) Tilt Steering Column Traction Lock Rear Axle Opera Windows Dark Blue Leather Seating Surfaces Reclining Passenger Seat Front & Rear Carpeted Floor Mats All totaled, with options, this car had an original sticker price of just over $10,000. A princely sum by any standard in 1972. Transaction will be handled in a gentlemanly fashion. The car is available to view any time during the auction's run. Questions will be answered promptly. If you need to get your wife's/girlfriends/mother's approval before buying a car, please do so before you bid. I will not end the auction early. I will accept a $500 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours of auction's end. Balance can be paid in cash at time of delivery. I do not work with any particular shipping company but I can certainly facilitate in any shipping arrangements Buyer may need. |

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.
2020 Lincoln Aviator fuel economy revealed
Tue, Jun 18 2019Ford finally revealed some of the last details, such as fuel economy, for the non-hybrid 2020 Explorer. So it's no surprise that its classier corporate twin, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, has had its own fuel economy data released by the EPA. Though, like the Explorer, we only have information for the non-hybrid versions. The 2020 Lincoln Aviator has just two engine options, a base turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, and the same engine coupled to a hybrid system with 450 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. That base engine is the one we have fuel economy numbers for, and it's shared with the Ford Explorer ST, though the ST's version makes an extra 15 pound-feet of torque. With all-wheel drive it gets nearly the same fuel economy as the fast Ford with 17 mpg in the city, 24 on the highway and 20 in combined driving. The Explorer ST gets one more mpg in town. Unlike the Explorer ST, the Aviator does offer rear-wheel drive with this turbocharged V6. This model gets improved fuel economy of 18 in the city, 26 on the highway and 21 in combined driving. This isn't too surprising, since all-wheel-drive vehicles often do a little worse when it comes to fuel economy. We'll be especially curious as to how the Aviator hybrid performs. We doubt it will match the Ford Explorer hybrid, since that crossover relies on a less-powerful naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6. But it might give the all-wheel-drive four-cylinder Explorer a run for its money, since the rear-drive V6 Aviator is only 1 to 2 mpg behind it. Related Video:
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
