Glenwood Landing, New York, United States

 This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Please, I ask that you not bid unless you fully intend on purchasing this vehicle.

I acquired this car in July of this year with 65,200 miles. Since then, it has traveled 5300 miles with ZERO mechanical problems. There are a couple of issues that I will go over later in this post. Lets start now with the positives!

  • I am the second owner of this Lincoln. The first owner resided in PA.
  • The air suspension is original, along with all front end components. It's tight as a drum on the highway and there is ZERO play in the steering. When I had a set of 18' polished Bullitts, this car handled like it was on rails! Truly remarkable what a set of tires could do for handling performance of such a large car! Not once has the suspension been a concern. It has stayed up for weeks on end while in the garage. It also lowers as it should on the highway when you are cruising at speeds in excess of 60 MPH, and raises itself when back onto local road speeds.
  • Air conditioning is in great working order as well. The car remained comfortably COOL even in temps reaching 115 degrees. YES, YOU READ CORRECTLY! We did have temps that reached 115 in NYC this past summer
  • Interior door panels, switches, CUP HOLDERS (I know lots of people ask about this one all the time), and other items look and work as they should.


Does it qualify for classic insurance?

  • YES IT DOES! I currently pay $120 a year for full coverage at $7000 in agreed value. I will refer you to the company that I do business with if you wish. I have 3 Lincolns currently with them! 

What needs attention:

  • Tilt steering recently decided it wanted to work, then didn't want to work again. It is stuck in the downward position...This really didn't bother me because thats where I like it any time I drive. My fiance drove the car recently and we discovered it was not working. . THE TELESCOPIC PORTION DOES WORK!
  • The blend door actuator will need to be replaced in order to get heat. There is a work around for it I am told. However, I am FAR FROM HANDY so I have never attempted to fix it. It never really bothered me since I drive the car when the weather permits anyhow. 
  • Chrome on the grille is peeling
  • Mechanic stated that the lower control arm bushings need to be done


This is a very clean original driver that you can enjoy without worrying about driving it anywhere. I've taken it a few times to Mohegan sun, and to Atlantic city. Wherever the car goes, it usually tends to get compliments!

In closing, I encourage you to see the car for yourself prior to bidding, and I am more than willing to go to any mechanics that are local. There is nothing for me to hide, she is a fantastic car!!!! We are selling this because we need to lease a new SUV for our baby coming up in May. We are excited, and unfortunately, toys need to go!

Please contact me at 718-865-7599 with any questions at all =)

Thanks, and happy bidding!!!!

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept

Sat, Nov 22 2014

"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
