1989 Lincoln Mk Vii Lsc on 2040-cars
Palm Springs, California, United States
This beautiful and rare LSC was purchased three years ago in an Estate Sale, with only 7700 original, one owner miles. The car now has just over 10,000 miles, because it is a joy to own and drive. I have upgraded the AC to 134, added new tires, (due to age of originals), and had a new power window unit installed in the passenger door. Service and regular maintenance maintained regularly at the local Ford/Lincoln dealership. Dealership management and service people believe this to be one of the finest Lincoln's ever built.
The metallic Burgundy finish is as perfect as the day it was built. Never any body or paint work, anywhere. The finish "glistens" in the sun, and draws attention to its presence in todays sea of look alike cars. The chrome is flawless, bright, clear, and has absolutely no pitting, rust, not even a scratch. The overall "fit and finish" is beyond expectation, and would rival most luxury cars being built today. Ford had it right on this model. The headlights, tail lights, and fog lights are all perfectly clear, no oxidation or scratches. The fog lights still wear the factory covers to protect them from stone chips. Because the LSC model had larger tires and standard, BBS wheels, "mud-flaps" were included. They remain wrapped in the original factory package, in the trunk, thankfully, never installed. The BBS wheels are all in perfect condition, no curb rash, no scratches, and no discoloration of the brushed aluminum finish. The interior includes optional "Recaro" black leather seats. There is absolutely no wear, and not a flaw to be found. The original Lincoln floor mats still cover the perfect black carpeting. All electrical accessories work as designed and intended. The smooth V8 perform's, and handles incredibly well. The powerful 5.0 V8 is spirited, and the road handling is much better than nearly any other Detroit product. Curvy mountain roads are a joy, and an unexpected pleasure for an American car of this vintage. There are still a few nice LSC's out there - but its not likely you'll ever see one as fine as this automobile. Car is advertised locally, and could be pulled from auction at any time. Owner will proudly show the car to you personally, or to an appraiser, if you choose. Seller will assist in coordination of shipping. if needed. |

Aye Captain! Hennessey's 2018 Lincoln Navigator has 600 HP
Tue, Mar 20 2018Texas tuner John Hennessey wants to steer the 2018 Lincoln Navigator into some serious performance SUV waters, presently dominated by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Range Rover SVR. Upping the power of Lincoln's range-topping sport-utility, from 450 horsepower to an even 600 hp, is enough to hustle the Navigator from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds and run the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 107 mph. In terms of the 0-60 sprint, this performance upgrade nets you about 0.7 seconds versus the stock model. Good to know, in case you're hot to run a Navigator at your local drag-strip. "The 2018 Navigator is a world-class luxury SUV and we wanted to take its already impressive power and performance to the next level," said president and company founder, John Hennessey. So, what exactly has been done under the hood? The key to the performance improvements is better breathing, courtesy of a HPE600 twin-turbo engine upgrade. Using the Navigator's twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 as its base, Hennessey adds a new engine management computer, a stainless steel exhaust system, high-flow air induction, and a large front-mounted intercooler with blow-off valve. Hennessey's six-wheel VelociRaptor, which uses the same base engine, produces 602 hp and 622 lb-ft of torque. Optional extras include 22-inch forged alloy wheels, a lowering kit, and Brembo brakes at the front and rear. Those brakes might not be a bad idea, especially considering this 600-hp motor is attached to approximately three tons of SUV that will, eventually, need to be stopped. This performance package rings in at $19,950 (including installation) and comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty from Hennessey. Only 200 examples will be built for the 2018 model year. While not quite as crazy as the VelociRaptor, this Lincoln is also only about one-third the price of that monster truck. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
