THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this original classic 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V two door coupe!
Finished in silver over light grey velour cloth interior, this classic Mark V has been driven a mere 62,300 miles since purchased new. This California blue license plate specimen features a solid running 400 cubic inch V8 engine mated to a buttery smooth shifting three speed automatic transmission, electric windows and seating, factory 15" turbine-style alloy wheels with good rubber, padded vinyl top with opera window, am/fm 8-TRACK radio with electric antenna, cruise control and more.

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this Lincoln Mark V is in fair to good mostly all original condition throughout. As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the paint has a nice shine on the side surfaces but shows much wear and fading on the top surfaces with various areas of nicking, bubbling, pitting and scraping. The original padded vinyl top is tattered with much flaking. One wheel is missing the center cap with decent tires all around.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Lincoln is in quite good near-new original condition overall. The velour seating is in exceptional condition with the interior featuring working five-digit odometer which I am told is accurate, working am/fm/8 track radio with a few music selections included. The horn blinkers and wipers all work though the windows are inop [you press the switch and can hear motors working but the gears are not catching]. A/c not blowing cold, clock works, rear view mirror needs to be re-glued. Inside the rear boot you will find the jack sticker and original spare tire.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Lincoln starts, runs, shifts, brakes and rides quite well with fingertip light power steering, smooth acceleration and a whisper quiet ride! The brake pedal is low and hard [possible booster replacement needed] and there is a bit of excess engine noise due to bad exhaust manifold gasket.
