1983 Lincoln Mark Vi Continental 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Brea, California, United States
|
For auction at LOW RESERVE is my 1983 Lincoln Mark VI, which is a California rust-free car with very low miles (>38k) and very little wear. The beautiful graphite plush leather interior is like new, soft and supple. Like sitting on a nice leather couch. The interior shows no wear. Dash, carpet, etc. in great shape. New floor mats. The original black over silver paint is bright and shiny, as is the chrome. Vinyl roof is new condition. Only a few minor paint blemishes, you'd never guess the paint is 31 years old! I just replaced the aging pinstripes, and the new ones are sharp looking! The car rides and drives like my new Lincoln. The A/C blows ice cold. The tires, battery, brakes are new. The car has been completely serviced (including the transmission) and runs as it should. The only weak point on these engines is the water pump, and a new one was just installed. The car instantly starts. It smoothly, and quietly, glides straight down the road. You will be pleased with the mechanical condition. Any negatives? I ordered a new power antenna for it; the previous owner left a new one for me to install, but it did not work. Guess what-the one I ordered had motor failure also and I just sent it back. So you can deal with it, they are inexpensive and easy to install. The right door lock is hard to lock at times, may be just an adjustment. Otherwise the Mark is good to go anywhere. So why am I selling such a nice car that I've had only a short time? I just found and bought the muscle car of my dreams, as luck would have it, right after I bought the Mark VI. I'm out of room because I have several other classic 50's cars, and at my age (just started getting social security) I've got enough cars to keep up with. Something has to go! So I'm thinning the herd. The car is being sold "As is-Where is", meaning you arrange for pickup and shipping at your expense. I can refer you to a local shipper who has given me excellent service on many occasions. There are no warranties. either express or implied. A non-refundable $500 deposit through Pay Pal is required within 24 hours. Balance is due via wire transfer or cashier's check before the clear title and car is released to the buyer. The Mark VI easily passed the recent CA smog test, if that is a concern for you. Burned as clean as a new car. Please bid responsibly and realize the RESERVE IS LOW; once you hit it, you are obligated to pay for it, so be serious! Please e-mail with questions or contact me at 714-469-9517. The car is available locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
