This is an all original true 1983 Lincoln Mark VI Emilio Pucci Edition Coupe. This is the rarest of all the designer versions of the Mark VI. The Pucci Edition coupe was only made for part of the year in 1983. This was also the last year of the Mark VI as well. This Mark VI Pucci is as original as you can find. This specific model of Mark VI is very rare and very hard to find. I will try to describe this car with as much detail as I know. The car has NO rust at all on the body. The bottom of the car is rot free and rust free. There is no rust/rot on the car anywhere top to bottom. The person I bought it from brought the car in the southwest back in mid 2000's. The owners he bought it off said it was a Arizona car its whole life. I have no official proof of this but do to the lack of rust I would agree that it was a southwest car. Since the mid 2000's it has been always kept inside and has never seen snow. The car is the proper and Original Emilio Pucci colors of Dark Blue Cambria soft top and Blue Flannel Mist paint with a light blue velour interior. The soft top is in great shape not dried out or cracked or faded at all. The paint on the car is faded by the sun. I did polish one spot and the shine does come back but in a few spots the paint has pealed so repainting or touch up will be needed for it to be perfect. The paint faded very uniformly and not almost looks like a Matte blue finish it doesn't have that ugly clear coat pealing that most sun faded cars have. All the chrome and bright work is great and very shinny. It has the original Lincoln wheels with matching spare. The driver side taillight is cracked but i have a whole oem light cluster I will include with it. I just haven't had time to swap the taillight. There is a few small dents here and there but all very small and are far less then most 30 year old cars. The interior is very nice and all original and clean not rips or tears or stains. The Velour seats are pillow top style and super soft and in great shape. The power seats, windows, lights, instrument cluster, locks, wipers heat, blower and even cruise control work well. The lights are the optional auto dimming and light sensing type and still work. The radio is the original factory upgraded unit with the surround sound that was optional in 1983. The volume control is a bit flakey at times so i have another original radio same style I will include. But current radio does work I just am trying to list every detail I know of. This Mark VI has the optional digital dash and multi-function trip computer. All the buttons and modes for the digital dash work as the should as well. The headliner is clear and not sagging at all. Carpet is still good and is the original designer style carpet I still have original mats as well. The dash has cracks from the sun but it has a dash cover on it. All the faux wood in the car is perfect. There is NO rust in the door jams or any other spot. The car also has the optional key-less code entry system that still works. The car drives and runs great starts every time and runs smooth. Brakes work well and it drives smooth like a cloud. It is very low mileage with only 78,826 miles. The engine is the fuel injected 5.0 and sounds great and is smooth even when it is cold. The Mark VI still has its original vin/build plate under the hood that shows its specific Pucci build number. This is the rarest Lincoln Mark VI out there and is a great car. I was hoping to keep it but i have so many other toys/projects right now I could drive and enjoy this car like it deserves. I tried to describe it to the best of my abilities please ask any questions you may have.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
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.
