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

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
