Lincoln Mark Iv 1975 Desert Southwest Car on 2040-cars
Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States
I FOUND THIS CAR IN A 92 YEAR OLD NEIGHBORS GARAGE. THE CAR LOOKS IN GREAT SHAPE. I CAN FIND NO RUST ON IT. PAINT HAS A FEW CHIPS AND A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BUFF OUT EASY. INTERIOR LOOKS GREAT. ONLY TEARS IN LEATHER ARE ON DOOR STRAPS WHICH SEEM TO BE COMMON IN EVERY LINCOLN THIS AGE. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND SEEMS TO RUN WELL. PROBABLY NEEDS A TUNE UP AND THE CARBORATOR CLEANED, AS THE GENTLEMA N SAYS IT WAS HIS WIFES CAR AND SHE PASSED AWAY 15 YEARS AGO. TRANSMISSION SEEMS GREAT. SHIFTS SMOOTH, NO PROBLEM. CLOCK DOESNT WORK AND AC DOESNT BLOW COLD. COMES WITH CLOTH COVER AND ALL THE MANUALS SHOWN IN PICTURE. GREAT FIND FOR A 40 YEAR OLD CAR IN DESERT SOUTHWEST. CAR IS NOT REGISTERED SO WILL NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO SHIP. WARRANTY AS IS. NEED A $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT AT END OF AUCTION. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AS I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM. THANKS FOR LOOKING |

Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
