Up for auction is my 1975 Lincoln Mark IV "Blue Diamond Luxury Group”. It has the 460-4V (7.5L) V8 engine and the C6 three-speed automatic transmission I am the second owner of this Mark IV, having purchased it from the estate of the original owner, and it has just over 33,000 original miles (as of the date of this auction). This is one of the rarest and most expensive Lincolns ever made to date (by 1975). The only engine available in the 1975 Mark IVs was the 460 cubic inch, four-barrel carbureted V8. Other notable standard features (working fine unless otherwise noted) are Sure Track Braking System (predecessoto ABS) with FOUR wheel power disc brakes, power steering, power windows, power seats, automatic temperature control AC system, Sure Track. All gauges, dash lights, radio and clock work as they should. My Blue Diamond Mark IV has the Aqua Majectic velour seats and headliner (RPO code FK), and the desirable forged aluminum road wheels (these are restored original wheels with matching center caps with all the screws to hold them in place. Also, new tires have been put on recently for a pleasurable soft and quiet ride. Other optional features on my vehicle include power remote trunk release, cruise control, rear window defroster, tilt steering column, interval wipers, power antenna, and the AM/FM 8 eight track stereo system. This Blue Diamond also has the optional limited slip rear axle (Positive traction) with 2.76 gears which has just been serviced in May 2013. This Blue Diamond Mark IV runs and drives excellent, just like you would expect from a low mileage vehicle. A recent tune up was done for spring in April 2013. This included new cap/rotor, wires, plugs, air filter, oil change and filter, pcv valve, air cleaner breather element, fuel filter, caruburetor tuned up by a reputable Carburetor shop, vacuum hoses checked for proper routing and function, new vacuum valves and timing checked. A new heavy duty radiator has been installed and the car keeps cool even on the hottest summer days, thermostat and hoses have been changed, It just made a 2000 mile drive from Lake Worth, Florida to Toronto Canada without any issues. The AC/heater system works excellent with a new POA valve installed and system recharged. The velour seats show very nicely with no rips or tears, The door panels, dashboard and interior trim are in exceptionally nice condition with no cracking including the door assist handles. Per my close inspection of this car, the original owner did refinish the vehicle in the late 1980's or early 1990's. Possibly due to a minor accident or possibly due to door dings/dents etc. The finish remains in exceptional condition..not "perfect", not "showroom" but very very nice as shown. The vehicle has no evidence of structural rust damage or repair on its frame or major body panels. There is a little surface rust coming through at the very bottom of one rear quarter panel and lower edge of the vinyl roof on left and right sides. However, this is very minimal and the car can be enjoyed just as it is for many years to come. All the chrome external trim is in very nice and straight condition with no dings or dents, there is some minor damage to the drip rail molding where someone tried to break into the car (which I have a NOS replacement molding that will go with the car). The headlight doors operate and stay closed for several weeks without starting the vehicle The "Valino" full vinyl roof is original, and in excellent condition . The roof is not separating from its chrome trim molding as frequently occurs if these cars are not garaged or taken care of over their lifetimes. A Blue Diamond Lincoln Mark IV is just not going to come up for sale very often. The few that remain out of the limited production vehicles built do change hands on occassion, but not very many are in this highly original, low mileage, exceptional condition. As an added dose of uniqueness, this Blue Diamond The car was originally purchased by Stephen Abramovich of Queens NY, the DSO shows it was delivered to the New York district sales office. This car is believed to be one of the FIRST Blue Diamond cars to be ordered and built as it is manufactured in October of 1974, thus it does not have catalytic converters that was mandated for 1975. If you know your Lincolns, you know exactly what this car is. If you are not familiar with it, perhaps you can still see yourself behind the wheel? In any case, I sure hope my Blue Diamond finds a good home with an owner who appreciates it for what it really is..a striking example of American luxury automotive history that will hopefully be preserved for many more years to come. this exceptional 1975 "Blue Diamond" Lincoln Mark IV is a rare, original, low mileage classic Lincoln and it is priced "accordingly"...not "insanely" but consistent with what the better, rarer Marks actually appear to be selling for.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
2015 Lincoln MKC aims to rejuvenate the brand... again
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Ford is slowly but surely attempting to revitalize the Lincoln brand, with the new MKZ sedan pointing the way forward for the Blue Oval's struggling luxury division. Here at the LA Auto Show, Lincoln is showing the next new product that aims to give the brand new life, the 2015 MKC crossover.
The MKC is based on the trusty Ford Escape, but this is far more than just a rebadge job. Lincoln has used completely new sheetmetal here, with the brand's familiar split-wing grille front and center, and a classy, wraparound tailgate with super slim taillamps that span the width of the hatchback. It's one of the better applications of Lincoln's new design language we've seen thus far, and the end result is a taut-looking crossover that is at the same time both modern and luxurious-looking.
Further differentiating itself from the Escape, the MKC packs an all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, good for 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. (On the base end, Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 240 hp and 270 lb-ft is available.) The MKC also uses a new Continuously Controlled Damping adaptive suspension, and is available with both front- and all-wheel drive.
Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach
Thu, 15 Aug 2013With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.
