1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Black Exterior (1C) w/ Red Pinstripe Red Leather Interior 23,500 Miles 400 Cleveland Engine with less than 6000 miles 3-Speed C6 Automatic Transmission 2.47 Axle New Paint New Landau Top Twin Comfort Power Lounge Front Seats Rear Bench Seats (with room for 4 adults) Cartier Clock (it quit working in the '80's, but dam it looks good) Original AM/FM 8-Track 4-Speaker Stereo Almost Everything Works Rust Free Colorado / Wyoming Car I'm selling this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V on consignment for a friend. He owns a performance shop in Northern Colorado and took it in on trade. It was originally purchased in January of 1980 for $15,316 ($44,296.70 in today's money) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and driven to Cody, WY, where it remained until coming to Colorado. I have the temporary tag issued for the cross-country drive, along with the original window sticker. Once it got to WY it spent the majority of its life indoors and is rust free as a result. With only 23,000 miles I would describe it as a survivor in exceptional driver condition. It presents fantastically, yet can be enjoyed regularly without guilt. All original options are present and almost all of them still work. It has had a high quality repaint and received a new landau top, but in the original colors with all original trim and bright-work intact. The paint is nearly perfect and presents fantastically. The motor was replaced with a correct Cleveland 400 V8 crate motor less than 6000 miles ago. It has had the front brake rotors, all brake pads, shocks, air filter, and driver's side window motor replaced along with a fresh oil change. There are 7/32" tread remaining on Michelin Rain Force tires. This is a turn-key classic that is ready to be driven anywhere. The 1979 Continental Mark V (the word Lincoln did not appear anywhere on vehicle, the owner's manual, or even the window sticker) was the last evolution of a legacy dating back two decades. In 1980, when the platform was downsized, Motor Trend called the Mark V "the last traditionally full-sized American car", also noting that Cadillac had ceded its models size to fuel economy and emission demands 3 years earlier. At nearly 20 feet long, over one third of that being hood, this 2-door "coupe" is the last of the giants. The black exterior over red interior with red pinstripe is one of the best color combos, retaining its classic appearance, but not dated like some 70's era colors. It turns heads everywhere it goes with a presence and form that is unmatched. You will smile every time you look at it. The driving experience is quintessentially classic American Luxury. As you open the door and settle into the plush leather seat you are engulfed in cardinal red, square gauges, and a comically thin steering wheel that transports you to an age when size mattered. I am old enough to have spent only few early years in the 70's, yet I remember them well. It was an age when everything was big from trousers, to shirt collars, to mustaches. In fact, the biggest complaint I have in driving this beast is the extra shaving -- it makes my mustache hair grow at triple speed! Looking out over the crack-free dash, the hood is vast and extends to the horizon. The sharp creases at each side frame the picture forming blades protruding well beyond the hood's leading edge. At front and center is the Lincoln Star, which vaguely resembles crosshairs overlaid on top of those who dare venture in the path of the 5000 pounds of iron at your fingertips. It doesn't happen often, people see you coming and admire from a safe distance. Just as it did in 1979, the Mark V commands respect. Turn the key and the 6.6-liter big block 400 Cleveland V8 fires up on cue. When it's cold it prefers a little gas on start up, but soon settles into a smooth and quiet idle. The vacuum actuated headlights flip up on command with a subtle hiss behind the switch. Pull the column shifter down into Drive and the parking brake automatically disengages. The ride is as smooth as glass. The power steering requires only the gentlest touch. On the road the big Lincoln is remarkably civilized and surprisingly nimble for its size. Power delivery is smooth and ample; speed builds quickly as a result. The sensation of that speed is soaked up well before it reaches you in the driver's seat. You are gliding along blissfully free to enjoy the stares of those you pass. Traffic parts ahead of you from nearly 9 feet of black hood eclipsing their rearview mirrors. As you glide along, you are reminded of how such novelties as cruise control (called Speed Control by Ford) and power everything were cutting edge options that defined the Mark V 36 years ago. The power vent windows are my favorite. A glance in the brushed aluminum mirror and you notice the word "heated" in cursive in the upper left hand corner. The visibility in all directions is fantastic, even through the oval Opera windows housed in the C-pillar. When it's time to throw out the anchor, the Bendix Hydro-Boosted brakes bring you to a stop with ease. The experience is one that can be enjoyed equally on daily commutes to Sunday drives, with enough room to share it with more than a few friends. In fact, at 6 feet, 2 inches I fit comfortably in the trunk -- without removing the spare tire, should you ever need to do such a thing. Mechanical: The mechanical condition of this Mark V is true to its low mileage. In addition to the items replaced in the opening paragraph, it has no glaring issues and is ready to be enjoyed thoroughly by its new owner. The previous owner reported that the original engine was replaced with the correct 400 Cleveland engine less than 6000 miles ago. He did not say why it was replaced, but the new engine runs fantastically. The 3-speed C6 transmission shifts smoothly. The heat is warm and the air conditioning is cold. The Motorcraft AC compressor is massive (like everything else). The power steering and hydro-boost master cylinder work fantastically and show no signs of leakage. The rear brake rotors pulse slightly only under heavy braking, but do not warrant replacement at this time. There are no oil or coolant leaks. The vacuum actuated headlight doors work correctly. The cruise control works on command, as does the power antenna, which can be activated by a switch under the dash. All interior accessories work except for the Cartier clock, and one of the 6-way driver's seat adjustments. The turn signal corner lights do not work. Finding a Mark V with so many of the original accessories in working order is super rare. This example had $2,249 worth of options in 1979 money and they nearly all work! Exterior: "Striking" is the best word to describe the exterior. The black paint is excellent and the red pinstripe accents it perfectly. It was a high quality re-spray with consistent orange peel that looks factory. The red pinstripe is vinyl, so it could be removed if desired, but that would be crime in my opinion. There are a few paint chips, which I have photographed accordingly and a crack in the left rear fender paint. The body and frame rails are clean underneath, with no rust. There is some superficial corrosion on the exhaust and fastener heads, but nothing abnormal. All chrome trim is in exceptional condition from the grill to the wheels. The front end has been spared the winter sandblasting most Wyoming / Colorado cars get, indicating it was a fair weather driver. The Landau top vinyl is in very good condition. The window glass is free of excessive pitting or cracks. The forged aluminum wheels and caps are in excellent shape, with no bends or curb rash. The white-walled Michelin Rain Force tires look correct and have 7/32" tread remaining. Interior: The interior is also very good and notably original. It has that wonderful classic leather smell, there are no offensive odors and the car has never been smoked in. The dashboard is crack-free (another indication the car lived indoors). All trim work is present and intact, although there are a few small cracks in the driver's door trim that can be found if searched for. The steering wheel plastic has three small cracks, the worst at the 12:30 position. The wood trim is in great shape. The front seat leather is in good shape, but there are creases that could benefit from being re-dyed and a very small tear below the steering wheel. The rear seat leather is nearly perfect. The carpet is also very good and the headliner does not sag. The radio works great, but I have no clue about the 8-track because I don't have any! This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V is fantastic find. It is mostly original survivor in a tasteful color and well optioned. We have priced it accordingly and would like an owner who will continue to care for it and enjoy it for years to come.

1976 Lincoln Continental 2 Door RUNS & DRIVES 100% Any questions, ask before bidding! More pics available upon request. Up for auction is my 1976 Lincoln Continental. Clean clear title in hand. I had plans for this but as they say, plans change. I'll do my best to describe the Lincoln. I will break her down into areas. Feel free to ask questions. Additional pics available upon request. Basics: Clean clear title in hand. Has the 460 with 144000 +/- miles. Automatic. Power brakes, power steering, power windows, power locks, cruise, A/C. Car runs and drives 100%. I would feel safe driving this home. When I bought her I drover 3 hours home with no issues. Car is not inspected as it was registered as a classic. Far too nice for parts or derby. History: I bought her off some folks who owned it since 1998. The Lincoln was registered as a classic. The story I was told, was the Lincoln was only driven in the nicer weather months. She was garage kept. I bought her with intentions of making real nice. However as I said earlier plans change. I drove her home 3 hours without any issue. The body:She is very solid and straight. There is some rust, with the most notable on the hood. I had a body shop friend of mine take a look and he said with a little sand blasting and priming & paint it would be as good as new. Other than the hood I would consider everything else minor. Everything is here trim wise. Weather stripping needs replaced around windows on doors. I have picked this up and these will be included. Underside of the car is nice with no rust issues. White vinyl top is in ok shape. Not bad at all for almost 40 years old! Engine. As I stated earlier this has the 460. She'll fire right up after a couple pumps of the gas peddle. Some where along the line some repaced the carb w/ a Holley 4 barrel. Engine runs good with no odd noise or smoke. Engine compartment looks good and clean. I'm sure she would benefit from a tune up. Transmission. Automatic. Shifts fine. Universal clunks a little when going into reverse. Brakes: Work fine w/ no odd noises or leaks. Tires: Like new. Interior: Seats are white leather and are showing some wear but nothing terrible. Head liner has a small rip. Dash & gauges are all nice. Dash is Tan. Door panels are nice but do show some wear. Accessories:The heater core is by passed. I am assuming it is bad. There are no signs of a leak on the floor/carpet on the inside. A/C would need converted/charged. Power window - Drivers side works, passenger side does not. Power lock - Passenger side works, drivers side does not. I think with a little lubing this would be corrected. Cruise works. Don't know about the 8 track as I don't own any to test it but the radio works. Power antenna does not work. There is power at the switch and to the motor. The cable for the mast is broken. Antenna is currently up. Rear defrost works. Misc: Passenger side ball joint is "creaky". Would need replaced. I greased it and it quieted it some, but is still noisy. Rides fine, just sounds like a creaky door when turning. Passenger side wiper does not work. I looked into this some. It needs a new wiper transmission which I picked one up and will be included. PAYMENTFull payment due 48hrs after auctions end. If you want to pay with cash this needs to be discussed prior to bidding. If paying with paypay a $500 non refundable deposit is required 24hrs after end of auction. SHIPPINGNO SHIPPING OFFERED! Getting this home is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. Come pick her up yourself or drive her home. I drove the Lincoln home 3 hours with no issues. Lincoln is to be picked up no later than 7 days after auctions end. ADDITIONAL INFOAs stated in description, this is a used item. All items are sold as is with no warranties or refunds offered. Please check out my other items!!
