This is the Hot Rod Lincoln Mark VII. I know there are a lot of people who love these things and hey, when they work right, they are really really nice cars. Quite honestly, I’m sick of fixing it. Brand new suspension air bags, new window motor, new door lock doodad, new stereo with CD player, new who knows what else, it’s never enough. This car is like a chick who finds out you have a bank account. OK here we go with the latest round. I stop for gas, fill the tank, get in the car, turn the key, and roor….roorr...roor and then roor….>click< Now all I get is >click<. SOOOOOOoooooo I take public transportation home, come back with my truck, try the truck battery in the car. Nothing doing. So I take the battery out of the car, take it home, charge it for a few hours, put it back in the car, still nothing doing. I believe it needs a starter. If you take this car, IT MUST BE TOWED.Either that or you can put a starter in it where it sits and drive it away. I’ve done that, but those days are over.
UPDATE: I had it towed home, it’s in a parking lot off the street now. If you’re up for taking it home and fixing it, grab it, the thing is actually a nice car. The a/c blasts cold, the cruise control is nice to have, it goes like hell if you want it to, it’s got the power seats and all the crapola they put on the Lincolns. If you manage to do a lot of freeway driving with no traffic, the beast will actually decent gas mileage, too. I’ll even throw in a couple extra stereos and speakers for it. And extra wheel cover center caps ($60 a pop at the dealer). And a couple extra emblems for when you are drying the car and the emblem falls off or you break it. When it’s not pissing you off, it’s a very nice car.
OK you know what you’re getting into, come and get it. I live near LAX. 90245 Comes with a full tank of gas. Dammit. There’s a cult member out there someplace who wants this car. Contact oblivicron@hushmail.com
