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.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Oct 2014You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
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.
