1972 Lincoln Continental Town Car on 2040-cars
Coinjock, North Carolina, United States
|
What we have for sale is a 1972 Lincoln town car that is in fairly good shape. The body does have some minor rust at the front fender edges and the right quarter. Again on the edge. The body on this car appears to be very straight, no major dings and no sign of bodywork. Vehicle has a new carburetor and a fairly new exhaust, both installed prior to my ownership. I purchased the car needing a fuel pump. Replaced fuel pump and vehicle fired right up although it needs a tuneup because there is an intermittent miss and a little lugging until warm. Transmission appears to shift fine, goes forward and back. Interior is in pretty good shape with the exception of the top of rear seat is dry rotted and would require replacement is restored. Dash has sun crack damage. I believe it is only one crack. The biggest issue I see with this car is the back glass leaks. Photos show bubbling around the back glass as it is a rust issue that has been repaired probably more than once. Frame is good with no rust and floors show no sign of rust. The body of this car again, is in fairly good shape. Factory ridge moldings that go from bumper to bumper all appear to be in good shape. The left fender mldg does have a dent in it. There may possibly be a ding or a scratch somewhere however overall good shape. The vehicle was refinished at some point. It appears to be acrylic enamel and has no gloss. I buffed a spot on the left rear and it did return some gloss but I don't believe it would last. Vehicle does appear to have some electrical issues as some of the windows work some of the time. Some do not work at all. I do not hear relay clicking so it may be a simple fix however I have not investigated. Power seat does not move. Again it may be a big or a small issue. I have not taken the time to look. Driver's trim panel is broken and in poor condition. Super glue works wonders. It would have to fix the panel. Anyone seriously interested in the vehicle feel free to contact me and I will perform some tests to try to determine if it is the motor, fuse, relay or simply lubrication for the windows and seat. I am in the middle of another car and have just not had the time to check some of these things. Additional photos are available. Auction is subject to end as vehicle is listed locally. Happy Motoring.

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.
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 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.
