Lincoln Continental Mark V 6.6 Liter V8 1979
General description :
STRAIGHT BLACK BODY, 400 V8, AUTO, A/C, PWR WIN/LOCKS/SEATS, SUNROOF, EXCELLENT!
You're looking at a true American classic that has been slightly customized in a true American style. Nowhere else could you find a 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V tailored to be such a sleek and intimidating vehicle.
The Continental has always been a great American luxury car with a TON of vintage sheetmetal. The gothic Mark V was longer, wider, and lower than its predecessors. This coupe has the great big personality of the 1970s without the drab earthtone color pallet. Its jet black paintwork is the perfect backdrop for the razor-sharp fender creases and plentiful chrome accents. The front has the Rolls-Royce style grille, and 1970s chic flat front hidden headlights. This is accented by attractive parking light lenses that are miniature works of casting genius. Out back, the deck lid features the Continental's trademark spare tire hump/continental kit. But you already can see what really sets this Lincoln apart from any other car out there. Those huge whitewall tires with what appears to be wire wheels, but then you get a little closer, and you can see that those chrome kings are actually a design by Chip Foose.
Step inside and see the interior you always thought a comfy Continental should have. This is a completely custom black crushed velour interior, that not only covers every inch of the seats in the comfy cloth, but also it's on the doors and floormats. The addition of aggressive red piping just makes every other Mark V interior look like a letdown. And the customizing didn't end there. The driver gets a Grant three-spoke steering wheel, and everyone can enjoy modern tunes with a large AM/FM/XM/CD stereo that's iPod compatible. Of course features were not something you ever had to worry about in a Mark V. This one already came straight from the factory with power seats, power windows, air conditioning, electric rear defogger, power locks, tilt steering wheel, and a sunroof. There is even a Cartier in-dash clock in front of the driver, so you know this is true automotive jewelry.
Ford's smooth and refined 400 cubic-inch Cleveland V8 provides effortless performance in the Continental. It has good horsepower, but the real story is the torque that's enough to pull a boat. Of course you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this beautiful big bodied car, but it's this kind of available strength that allow you to smoothly and quickly cruise away from the stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the big blue Ford engine looks factory-fresh, and it does show all signs of being the original powerplant. While this is the perfect car for the drive-in (after all, it's more comfortable than any movie theater seat), there's much more to this Mark V. It has a three-speed C6 automatic transmission, power steering, and disc brakes at all four wheels. This means you can ride in comfort to car shows as far away as you want.
This Continental Mark IV has all the right custom touches, but all the original pieces you want are still with this all-day cruiser, even the owner's manual. It's everything you love about the 70s without having to give up modern comfort. Call today!

About Lincoln
Lincoln, often regarded as more than just an upmarket Ford, has carved its own niche in the automotive world with a rich history and a lineup of distinctive models. Let's take a stroll down the memory lane of Lincoln's story.Early Beginnings:
Founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, the man behind the Cadillac brand, Lincoln initially started as a luxury automobile company. The brand quickly gained a reputation for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Ford Era:
In 1922, Lincoln was acquired by the Ford Motor Company, and this marked the beginning of a long association. Ford aimed to position Lincoln as its luxury division, competing with other prestigious brands in the market.
Classic Models:
Over the years, Lincoln introduced several iconic models that left a lasting impact on the automotive landscape:
Lincoln Continental: Launched in the 1940s, the Continental became an instant classic. Its elegant design and iconic suicide doors made it a symbol of luxury and sophistication.
Lincoln Town Car: Introduced in the 1980s, the Town Car became synonymous with chauffeur-driven luxury. Its spacious interior and smooth ride made it a favorite among executives and dignitaries.
Lincoln Navigator: The late '90s saw the rise of the SUV craze, and Lincoln was quick to respond with the Navigator. A full-size luxury SUV, the Navigator combined opulence with utility and became a popular choice among affluent families.
