This is a chance someone to own a for extremely rare and famous REAL Classic car. This car is a factory handmade 1940 Lincoln Zepher Continental Convertible. I am sure any Ford expert would tell you how RARE these cars are. They only made 350 of them in 1940.

I am selling my 1940 Lincoln Zepher Continental Convertible. The car just reeks TOP CLASS and belongs in a car collection to be admired. (This car really belongs in a car collection like Jay Lenos' or a collection that its "class" is going considerable upgrade it. It definitely would upgrade any collection !) I restore antique cars, but am a driver- restorer. My cars in my collection are driven and maybe shown once in a while. This car is too valuable and rare for my taste and restoration. The car needs restoration but is remarkable condition for it's age. What is for sale is the combination of two Lincoln convertibles (one a bit more rusty than the other).

Most of the parts of sheet metal on the car that have rust have been reproduced. There is a new dash, two sets of top irons, two steering columns and steering wheels, complete interior (if not then there is at least 97% there), the Columbia rear end, four doors, fenders that are practically rust free and two practically rust free hoods, bumpers and a ton of interior parts and exterior parts, etc.

In other words, at least two of just about everything. Or about four of the things you would need two of!

I want to sell the Lincoln, but I'm going to be perfectly honest about Lorane (the name my family gave to the Lincoln). The car is a restores dream. It will be fairly easy to restore (been there and done that), but it will not be able to done on a shoestring. A car of this quality and fame will require the top of line no matter what has to be done. But it will well worth the investment ! This year Lincoln is extremely rare and valuable !

Don't insult me with low ballers, please. I know what the car is worth.

Now, before I get a bunch of Ford people calling me about the Lincolns history I want everyone to know that what I know about the car is what I've been told and have not done a bunch of research on the car.

Any questions call me at 815-351-6655.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford 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.
