Offered here is a 1979 Bill Blass Edition Mark V. 130391 original miles! Garage kept since I bought it in 2003. I have been slowly restoring this beautiful automobile. Its been in storage for the past three years. Now I am moving and can't take it with me. I have nearly 10K invested in its restoration. I recently started driving it again to limber it up. I gave it to my mechanic to go over thoroughly. The battery, solenoid, gas tank, gas float and tail pipe was replaced. Rebuilt carburetor. Front end alignment is less than 30 days old. The 400 cu. inch V8 engine runs smoothly with good power. The transmission shifts smoothly. The AC was recharged and blows cold. Power windows work. (I have both side replacement door glass panels I will throw in FREE if you want them.) The body work has all been done. Car is ready for paint. The grille housing and hood ornament were NOS parts when installed 4 years ago. I installed the gold grille insert pulled from a Collector Series car. Upgraded Collector Series Ebony Wood interior includes matching steering wheel with inlaid ebony trim. The car has a VERY RARE OEM AM/FM Stereo Radio with WORKING CASSETTE. I had the unit completely rebuilt by a shop in Richmond, VA. Power antenna works. The overall chrome on the car is beautiful. Only real exception is the passenger side mirror. The body side molding is NEAR MINT. Most moldings on these cars have been dinged to death over time. NOT THE CASE HERE!!!! White leather interior is in very good condition. Carpet is still rich blue. Tires have good tread.

KNOWN DEFECTS: There is a small tear in the white headliner above the driver side visor. See photo. One other blemish is the fiberglass nose piece that includes the concealed head lamp covers. The carburetor mechanic cracked the lower edge beneath the headlamp covers on the driver side. See photo. Buyer can either choose to repair this in place. OR. I have available for FREE a new complete assembly in white! The power door locks and power trunk release no longer work. I believe it may be the switches regarding the door locks since the actuators had been replaced. Passenger side mirror chrome is pitted. Clock runs, but does not keep time. This of all too common. The clock can be rebuilt. I just never got around to it. Additional pictures are available upon request. Car is located in Williamsburg, VA and is available for viewing and can be test driven. Contact me for details.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After 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.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.
