1974 Lincoln Continental Mark Iv, 460 V8, Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Richfield, North Carolina, United States
|
Offered for your consideration is a 1974 Lincoln Mark IV personal luxury coupe. This is a low-mileage North Carolina car that needs very little to made into really nice ride. I am selling this car for a friend of mine who does not do the internet. THIS IS NOT MY CAR, and I can answer very few questions for you. See below for the contact information of the owner who will be glad to speak with you almost any time. Many cars on Ebay look better on the computer than they do in person. This car is just the opposite pictures do not do it justice. The original silver paint is faded. All the chrome trim has been removed and parts have been spot-primed to prevent rust. Missing chrome is in the trunk, which has no rust I am told. The body is incredibly straight with no dents or dings. The only rust is bubbling under the vinyl top (see photo). The top looks great. There are two plugged holes on top of the left rear fender where radio antennae once sat proudly (remember the 1970s? The CB craze? Apparently the first owner of this car was enamored with the fad, 10-4!). The car does run and yard drives, but I would not consider it roadworthy. As you can see by the photo of the last NC inspection, this car has not been on the road since 2002. Tires do not look very weathered. It does have a good battery. The interior is the real strong point of this car! During storage, it has had sheets and towels over the dash, real parcel shelf and seat cushions, and sun shades blocking all the windows (I had to move these to take pictures, as you can see in the photos). The result is that the interior is remarkable! There are no cracks or discoloration on the dash or rear inside panels, the headliner is unblemished, and the seat cushions red velour, no less! are not sun damaged or torn anywhere I could see. Carpet looks great and there are no signs of wear there or on the pedals. As you can see from the photos of the dash and instrumentation, this car shows 52,000 miles, and I have no doubt its probably correct miles (I have no documentation to prove this, however!). The car has the very rare (for 1974) factory AM/FM cassette player, plus all the usual bells and whistles. I have no idea if they work, but everything is present to make them work. The inside door panels are off the car and in the garage (they are perfect as well), because the previous owner was trying to get the power windows to work. (They appear to be stuck, but the motors try to work). This car needs the windows fixed, a good tune-up, and a paint job to once again be the head-turner it was 4 decades ago. The car certainly deserves the attention! Those of you in northern portions of the country who love these old land barges will never find one in your neck of the woods with this much potential. QUESTIONS? I know you have them! Call the owner, Joe Widmeyer, at 980-581-0732, and he will be glad to talk to you. This car has a clear, clean title ready to go. Local pick-up only. Will be glad to assist shippers in loading the car. Sold as-is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Sold with a modest reserve, so bid to own it! |

Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
