Beautiful All Original 1973 Lincoln Continental Mark Iv on 2040-cars
Carlsbad, California, United States
|
This car is all original, not restored but meticulously maintained over the years. One owner literally an old lady who passed away. Was kept in garage it's entire life. Everything works from the big 460 engine to all motors for antenna, power seats, windows etc etc. The Original 8 track radio even works as well as the AC. All chrome in excellent condition, no rust or pitting a 9 or a 10 on the chrome condition. White leather interior is in good shape with normal wear for a 1973 vehicle though the drivers seat is dry and cracked up. Engine is super clean and strong, radiator excellent, transmission excellent, carburetor excellent, everything engine wise is excellent. It has 25643k original miles but look like the owner had it painted in 1994 but stayed with the original color which is a white w blue tint. White leather interior, blue carpet and dash, Crack in steering wheel which is not the original but a replacement from 1974 I believe. Black vinyl top really good condition but little age not torn or damaged just slightly faded. Excellent Lincoln for an enthusiast to bring to showroom condition due to having all it's parts minus the hood ornament, replacement steering wheel from 1974 believe. The car was well maintained over the years and all hard to find parts tracked down when needed so this car has all the original bells and whistles and the kicker is the low low 25643 original miles. It has never been restored so it's truly just one of those cars in spectacular all original shape which is in excellent working order in all areas. So for those of you who know your Lincoln's and want a gem here she is. I knew the old woman for sometime and obtained the car when she passed It has been in my garage not driven but cared for now for about a month and a half. Title Clean and in my hand, registered, ready to go.. No problems.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A 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 announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
