1981 Lincoln Mark Vi Base Sedan 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Bohemia, New York, United States
Up for sale is my Cartier Designer Series 1981, 81 Continental MK VI, Mark VI 2 Door Coupe. The Cartier color scheme for this year was Medium Pewter Metallic Paint, Medium Pewter Leather seats and Steering Wheel and Medium Pewter Vinyl Roof with Maroon Wrapover molding and a single Dark Red Painted Accent Stripe. This car is LOADED with Factory Optional Features: Lighted Entry with Exterior Driver Door Mounted, 'Keyless Entry" keypad and Illuminated Door Lock Key Cylinders, Power Windows with Minivent feature, Power Factory Moonroof, Power Automatic Locking Door Locks, Twin Comfort Lounge 8 way Power Front Reclining Seats, Twilight Sentinal Automatic Hidden Headlights with Auto High Beam Dimmer, Large Single Round Coach Parking Lamps built into each Headlamp Door Cover, Tilt Wheel, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Power Trunk Release, Power Antenna, Digital AM FM CASSETTE Radio with Premium Sound Feature, Automatic Climate Control, Digital Dash, Electronic Trip Computer, Electronic Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Cable Remote Right and Left Side View Mirrors, Right and Left Door Armrest Storage Compartments, Lacey Aluminium Spooked Wheels. I bought this car in April 2001, at the Carlilse Pennsylvania Car Show with only 73000 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge, this is an all original un-restored, untouched survivor. The interior is beautiful with the exception of the top of the back seat (See Photo). The Dash Pad and Speaker Grills are in great shape as are the original Cartier Floor Mats (See Photo). Everything seems to be in working order. The body is straight and untouched with only a minor ding seen here and there. There are no major dents, scratches, chips, gouges, or rust to speak of. However as you can see in the pictures the clear coat paint finish is starting to go which is typical of cars from this era, but it is NOT flaking or peeling. The chrome is showing signs of wear as well. The engine compartment is in great shape along with the trunk interior showing its original un-used mini spare and bumper jack. I did not use this car too much at all. The odometer is showing only 79400 miles now. In the 6000 miles I have driven it over the past 13 years it has always been garage kept. I have never driven it in the snow or salty road conditions and it has seen very little rain. I believe it's been off the road since 2003 or 2004. I would go and start it on a regular basis and take it out for an occasional ride every few months weather permitting. I recently replaced the battery after the winter and she started right up, drove her out of the garage, gave her a bath and went for a ride. The brakes felt a little low and spongy which may require a good bleeding. I would recommend changing all fluids and filters as routine servicing maintenance by the new owner for piece of mind. This 1981 Continental Mark VI 2door Cartier Designer Series by Lincoln and the Ford Motor Company, VIN : 1MRBP95F1BY640726 is being sold in "AS IS" condition with no warranties guarantees or returns promised or implied. Feel free to call or text 516-848-3159 with any questions. You are welcome to stop by or send someone in your behalf for a personal hands on inspection.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch
Fri, Oct 7 2016MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled
Wed, Apr 27 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
