Here is the chance to own a near museum quality, barn find, rare Lincoln Town Car. The car was originally purchased by an elderly couple who drove it for the first few years. The car was then left to their son who did not like the car so he put the car in his neighbor's barn where it sat for many years. It was started and run every few months but never left the barn. The owner finally just asked his neighbor if he wanted it and so the neighbor bought the car. This owner drove the car for a short time installed new brakes and then decided to put the car up for sale. I purchased the car and drove it from central Illinois to my home in South Bend, In. I had my mechanic go though the car and had the transmission seals changed, the wheel cylinders changed, a leaking power steering hose replaced; changed one of the converters and had a new exhaust system installed. I also just installed brand new Firestone tires all the way around. The pictures do not do the car justice. I have now driven the car almost 2000 miles. I take it on the highway everyday back and forth to work and it drives like a dream. It is truly just like driving a new car back in 1988. It is the signature series which is the middle trim series. You will not be disappointed in any way. Except for the work that has been done recently the car is all original. The a/c which is still on the R-12 system is ice cold. It comes equipped with power steering, brakes, windows, locks, seats, auto lamp and auto dimming; all which work as they are supposed too. The car drives straight as an arrow and cruises effortlessly down the road. The emergency brake even works as it is supposed too. There is no rust on the car and the cloth top looks just like it was installed yesterday. Check out the picture of the top up close, the seams are tight with no fading or tearing. The only thing that does not work as it should is the thermometer in the drivers mirror. It registers about 20 to 30 degrees higher than it should. The clock keeps perfect time.
The only mechanical issue with the car is a tiny, tiny, exhaust leak on the passenger side. It is either coming from the manifold itself or the riser pipe. You can only hear it if there is dead silence in the car. You have to listen for it. You cannot hear it if the windows are open or the air or radio is on. I thought about getting it fixed but I simply do not think it is bad enough to start tearing into engine.
The only cosmetic issue with the car is a small tear about a half inch long. It is not noticeable unless you look for it. I actually did not find it until I got the car home and had it for a few weeks. There are no dings or dents in the body and there is only one very light scratch about 2 inches long on the left rear quarter panel. There is some pitting around the headlights but this is from being driven at highway speeds, every one has them. The paint is glossy and deep. Many of these cars have paint issues on the right side of the hood where the clear coat wears off. This one is near flawless.
I bought this car with every intention of keeping it forever. This is my favorite Town Car. I do not have to sell the car but I have a chance to invest in some real estate and would like a little extra cash on hand. If this car was in a dealer showroom they would be asking anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. My reserve is set well below the $10,000 mark. I am not asking for a pie in the sky price but would like to make a few bucks on it. If I don't get my reserve I will simply keep it.

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
