Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2-owner, 1974
Lincoln Continental Mark IV Convertible, 460 cu. in. engine, automatic
transmission, 48,491 documented original miles, dark burgundy body color with a tan convertible
roof and tan leather interior. This is a
custom convertible professionally built by a renowned coach builder some years
ago. Overall the car is in great
condition and has been garaged all its life. Options include power convertible top,
power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, A/C, AM/FM radio, power
windows and locks, power trunk, power seats, power antenna, cruise control, tilt
steering, remote passenger outside mirror and lighted vanity mirrors. Most
options work as they should except that the A/C needs to be charged and the vanity
mirror lights are missing. The paint
shines beautifully and accents a clean, straight body. The top surfaces of the painted areas however
show signs of paint cracking – but this by no means takes away from how great
the car looks overall. The interior is
original and in nice condition with average wear. The convertible top material looks excellent
and powers up and down nicely as it should.
Convertible top boot is also in excellent condition and fits as it
should (2 of the snaps need a simple repair).
All and all, the chrome is very presentable with very little pitting. The bumpers shine nicely showing only small signs
of age. The stainless overall is in nice
condition except there are some dents on the wheel opening moldings. The car has a nice set of tru-spoke wire
wheels on it with tires that are like new. There are non-operative, decorative
spot lights installed on the front fenders that look nice. The underside of the car is solid and clean (see
pictures). Engine starts up
quiet, shifts and drives good. There is
a small transmission fluid leak near the pan area. No disappointments! IMPORTANT
... PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!
I have disclosed what I know about my car to the best of my ability and
to the best of my knowledge. The car is
sold "as-is" and is located in the Pittsburgh, PA area. It can either be picked up at or delivered

2017 Lincoln MKZ is a 400-hp hot rod
Wed, Nov 18 2015There are mid-cycle product updates, and then there's the 2017 MKZ. Instead of just a nip-and-tuck styling refresh, the entry-level Lincoln gets an all-new engine with a whopping 400 horsepower and an optional torque-vectoring rear differential. And that powerplant is exclusive to the Lincoln, at least for the time being. It's a sign that Ford is getting serious about elevating its luxury brand above the recent history of rebadged Blue Oval models. The engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, based on the current 2.7-liter that serves across the Ford and Lincoln lineup. With 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, it's the most powerful Lincoln ever. That big number will only be available in all-wheel-drive versions of the MKZ. With front-wheel drive the engine will be detuned to an estimated 350 horsepower to retain some level of driving refinement. A further option on the AWD model will be the Driver's Pack, which adds the same torque-vectoring rear differential as on the forthcoming Focus RS. With the promise of rear-wheel-drive handling characteristics, the MKZ could be the most fun-to-drive Lincoln ever. In addition to the V6, a 245-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo four and a hybrid model will be available. When the 2017 model goes on sale next spring it will be the first Lincoln in showrooms with the new signature grille, first previewed in the Continental Concept at this year's New York Auto Show. Adaptive LED headlights are available options, and a Lincoln logo "welcome mat" projects down from the side mirrors when unlocking the car at night. The view from behind is nearly unchanged, with a revised bumper giving the car a slightly wider appearance. Inside things are all new as well, with a completely revised center console. The capacitive-touch sliding controls are gone, replaced by buttons and knobs. In the press release, Lincoln mentions that engineers gave special attention to the sounds and feel of the switches, but the switches on the pre-production model at our product briefing felt cheap and loose. The large climate control knob clicked like it was grinding sand. We hope the production version will show more refinement. The good news, if you're rooting for Lincoln, is that the rest of the interior is impressive, at least in the top-of-the-line Black Label trim we saw. The front seats are comfortable, and the center console is trimmed in real aluminum.
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.
Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln
Sat, 26 Jul 2014
Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
