1989 LINCOLN MARK VII BILL BLASS COUPE PLUS PARTS

1989 Lincoln Mark Series BILL BLASS Description:

CAR IS BEING RELISTED DUE TO ABIDDER WHO HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ANY CONTACTS AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT PAY; NICE GUY!

1989 LINCOLN MARK VII BILL BLASS EDITION IS IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR OF THE MARK VII TO HAVE THE HIGH OUTPUT 5.0 LITRE ENGINE (MUSTANG GT). I'VE OWNED VEHICLE FOR OVER 10 YEARS. RECENTLY HAS HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY INSTALLED. CAR DRIVES GREAT, CURRENTLY ABOUT 5,000 MILES PER YEAR. CAR DOESN'T LEAK OR BURN ANY OIL, HAS COLD AC AND CONSISTENTLY AVERAGES 24.5 MILES PER GALLON (CLOSE TO 500 MILES PER TANKFUL). CAR HAS ONE SMALL SECTION OF RUST ON DRIVER SIDE REAR QUARTER PANEL SMALLER THANTHE SIZE OF A BASEBALL. AS SHOWN IN PIC, HOOD HAS PAINT PEEL COMMON ON THIS ERA'S VEHICLES, THE REST OF PAINT IS NICE.THE HORRIBLE AIR SUSPENSION HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH HEAVY DUTY SPRINGS. CAUSED BY THE FAILING AIR SUSPENSION BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED, THERE IS A CRACK IN THE FRONT WINDOW NEAR THE INSPECTION STICKERS AND IT DOES NOT AFFECT STATE INSPECTION (PA), WHICH HAS EXPIRED AS OF THE END OF SEPTEMBER.INCLUDED WITH SALE IS AN ORIGINAL SHOP MANUAL AND A LIKE NEW ELECTRONIC TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE TO THIS CAR. ALSO INCLUDED ARE MANY PARTS FROM A SIMILAR MARK VII DONOR CAR, THOUGH I CAN'T REMEMBER THE YEAR OF IT. THE ~187,500 MILES SHOWING ON ODOMETER IS NOT CORRECT.WHEN PURCHASED IN APRIL 2007, THE ODOMETER WASN'T WORKING SO ONE WITH 102,000 MILESFROM THE DONOR MARK VII WAS INSTALLED BY THE SELLER. TITLE IS MILEAGE EXEMPT. THE MILES SINCE THEN, 85,500(187,500 - 102,000), ARE TRUE. THE CARFAX PIC SHOWN, NEXT TO THE LAST PICTURE,SHOWS 17,000 MILES AS OF LATE 1999. THE VERIFIED MILEAGE IS AT LEAST 102,500 (17,000 + 85,500).

THINGS THAT WORK:

AC, POWER DOOR LOCKS, POWER MOONROOF, POWER SEATS, POWER MIRRORS, ELECTRIC DAY/NIGHT AUTO DIM REAR VIEW MIRROR, COMPASS, POWER ANTENNA, DIGITAL INFORMATION CENTER (THOUGH SOMETIMES GOES SPASTIC FOR PERIODS) AND POWER TRUNK CLOSE.

THINGS NOT WORKING CURRENTLY:

BOTH POWERWINDOWS ARE OFF TRACKS (MOTORS GOOD) WINDOWS WILL GO DOWN BUT WOULD NEED HELP TO PULL THEM UP, STEREO & CD (BLAUPUNKT MONTREAL) STOPPED WORKING A MONTH AGO DUE TO BLOWN AMP OR FUSE?

OTHER ISSUES:

AC IS COLD BUT SOMETIMES THE TEMP WILL FLASH, NOT ALL OF THE TIME.I WAS TOLD ONE OF THEACTUATORS SHOULD BE REPLACED TO CONTROL THE ACTUAL TEMP, CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN FLASHINGTHE AC COLDNESS WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME WHETHER THE TEMP IS SET AT 65 OR 85. YOU CAN CONTROL AC BY FAN SPEEDOR CLOSING VENTS IF TOO COLD. I RARELY USE ANYTHING BUT LOW. SECONDLY I HAVE ONLY ONE KEY THAT WORKS, THE IGNITION; NOTHING FOR DOORS, GLOVE OR TRUNK BUT TRUNK RELEASE IN GLOVE WORKS FINE. THE 5 DIGIT CODE WORKS FINE FORUNLOCKING DOORS.
