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! |

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
