Lincoln Mark Series Base on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States
Very nice Mark IV: * 83.5k well documented miles * 1 owner until 2012 (now 2) * nice repaint 2yrs ago due primarily to oxidation * excellent interior, original floor mats, dash/carpet/seats excellent * new: tires (3k?), valve seals, radiator, hoses, belts, coil, starter (high torque), stereo (have original), window motors (2 front), hood hinges, spark plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, replaced ac compressor (blows cold, R12), universal joints, probably others I'm forgetting; new water pump, edelbrock carb works great (original versions kept leaking as they are prone to do). Car starts right up after sitting for weeks even when 30 deg. * transmission professionally serviced with new seals * runs strong; driven 9k since 2012; 500 miles in last month * local tax value $8.2k after inspection * neg - horn and a/c compressor are on separate switches on dash (discretely located underneath); no cruise; back left window needs gear (only moves 1.5 in horizontally when functional anyway), small rust bubbles by front wheel wells -not noticeable from 10 ft and easy fix (recent), small dent in corner of roof, power lock works on passenger side only; * brake components they work great. However the antiquated sure-trak (like a 1974 ABS - best avoided) seems to be non-functional and the brake dash light is on for that reason. Currently taped over and unnoticeable. So they function like normal disk/front drum/back brakes. * It seems as if the car has gotten a hair louder in the last week. There may be a slight exhaust leak.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
