Vehicle Description

1979 Mark V For Sale
1979 was the last year of production for the famous Lincoln Continental Mark V, the last American Rolls Royce ever built in America!
This is one of only 2040 produced in the white “Collector’s Series” (with no opera windows) and 36,000 original documented miles.
The car is stunning inside and out, straight as an arrow, stops on a dime and literally seems to “float” on the road, no squeaks or rattles whatsoever on a brick road with speed humps... nor any fluid leaks!
It’s amazingly easy to drive, not to mention the turning heads and constant little comments and conversations no matter where you go…
New tires, battery, starter, relay, battery ground cable, belts, (it still had the original factory Motorcraft), hoses, heater control valve, fuel filter, air filter, master brake cylinder, windshield washer pump, wiper blades, all fluids changed, recored radiator, A/C conversion to R- 134 (Freezing Cold!), rebuilt carburetor and any other issues related to safety and comfort were addressed and taken care of.
The brakes are in excellent condition with 8 mm. on the front and 6mm. in the rear with a very long life, I have the report form Tires Plus as well as several other repair documentation.
The blue velvet-like cloth interior (which was an option over leather at the time), is still in excellent condition and the front power bucket seats are super comfy that can be adjusted with the six-way power settings (the passenger side has some issues with the tilt).
Between the seats is a huge (and unworn!) armrest with plenty of storage underneath (for your 8-Tracks!) and a center console with its original 40 Channel CB Radio, two handheld mics and a perfectly working power antenna… people freak out when you raise it at a red light!
The Cartier clock has a bit a mind of its own as well as the “fuel to empty”, and the 8-Track stereo sounds muffled.
The car still wears its original paint and pin stripes, and the body is rust free with only few cosmetic blemishes (smaller than a penny).
The undercarriage does show some surface rust which is very common as the chassis were never painted from factory at the time, otherwise the car is rock solid throughout.
This car is loaded with every possible option available at the time except for a moon roof and the driver’s side rear view mirror with thermometer.
I had the car inspected by Lemon Squad before my purchase and was pleasantly surprised by their report.
This Mark V was specially ordered by its first owner in Georgia (see plate on passenger side dash) who was a Ford collector and then passed it on to his son who preserved its condition.

The car has been carefully detailed inside and out including the engine bay, new under the hood insulation and new door strikers; it had a doughnut spare which had melted over the years and was replaced it with a full-size spare as the car is very heavy.
