I recently acquired this car in a package with several other cars.  It sat in an underground garage in NYC for many years...property of a well known judge and in a very expensive building. 

 

This is a car requiring a full cosmetic restoration.  It was repainted many years ago.  It has dents. It has a large depressed dent in the right rear quarter panel. The car should be stripped to bare metal and metal finished. 

The interior leather could be original...it looks like it to me...but you will probably want to redo it.  It will need carpets.  Bumpers should be re-chromed.  Miscellaneous chrome pieces will have to be reworked.  Floor boards are in tact. Convertible top is surprisingly good. I was told the top mechanism works fine but I have not tried it. Some windows are not working as switches are missing.  The car runs fine. 

The odometer shows close to 33,000 miles and the man who sold it to me says it is correct.  That the judge didn't use the car much.  I don't believe it. It could have 133,000. This car needs to be completely gone through...bumper to bumper...expect to cosmetically restore everything. If you are a hobbyist and want a good solid starter car for a project, this is a good example to restore.  I paid a lot more than I think the car is worth to get the other cars.  But it's a solid old car and very worthy of a cosmetic restoration. 

I am selling it no reserve and expect to sell it for less than I paid.  Please do not bid and buy this car and then ask to inspect it.

This car is located in Northern California about 20 minutes south of Ashland, Oregon.  It has a clear NY title.

Lincoln MKC spied in final form

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln.
Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.
Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.

2015 Lincoln Navigator puts on a brave face, offers EcoBoost V6 only

Lincoln has finally given its SUV a facelift after seven long years.
Seven years is a long time. For the auto industry, though, seven years is an absolute eternity. Most vehicles receive clean-sheet redesigns within the span of seven years, usually getting a facelift of some sort after year three or four. Not Lincoln.
