1978 Continental Mark V --

Spectacularly Preserved --14,409 Actual Miles

Purchased in July, 1978, for a hefty $16,082 at McKinney Lincoln-Mercury in Salem, Oregon, this striking automotive landmark has been carefully stored since the end of the 70s by the original owner. It was uncovered not far from the dealership where it was purchased brand new.

Attention-grabbing in Dark Red Metallic Moondust and larger than life, this gorgeous Mark V has clocked a scant 14,409 miles since it left the assembly plant in Wixom, MI. It is absolutely rust-free. Highly optioned and fully-documented, this Mark comes complete as delivered, with every factory or dealer supplied tag, manual or piece of paperwork, including the original window sticker, metal ownercard, and two build sheets.

Motive power is the 7.5 litre 460. The big block is complemented by an optional four barrel and dual exhaust system and packs 360 lbs. of torque. In standard trim, the luxury Continental was already loaded, but this Mark V came with an additional 21 options as shown on the window sticker. Among the extra-cost amenities are power vent windows, miles to empty indicator, and a time-capsule quadraphonic eight track. (See full option list below).

Extreme originality is what this Mark V is all about. It is intact down to the smallest detail. The Red/Rose Luxury Group interior, well padded with leather, is as new and unmarked. The silence and comfort while gliding down the road are unmatched. You feel the weight and solidity Lincoln engineered into this car. It's still rolling on the Michelin 225-15 X radials as equipped, with generous tread left.

The 1977-79 Mark V was Lincoln's final three-year run of the Mark in a decade that celebrated "huge". It is widely considered the best built and designed of the later 70s American luxury coupes, sharp of line and still elegant today. Offered at a low $11,800 with No Reserve, shipping arranged nationally or internationally.

Lincoln owners in San Diego, your chauffeur awaits

Fri, May 12 2017

In an effort to make up lost market share, Lincoln is trying desperately to differentiate itself from other luxury automakers. The automaker is offering and expanding a number of services aimed at setting itself apart not only from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Audi, but also the Fords that so often share showroom space. One such offering, the Lincoln Chauffeur, is expanding beyond its initial rollout in Miami, Florida, across the country to San Diego, California. The concept is simple. For $30/hour, a chauffeur will drive you around in your own vehicle, stopping at the store, the gas station, or even at school to pick up the kids. The chauffeur can do these things with or without you present, meaning the driver can drop you off at the airport and return the car home, allowing others to use the car rather than leaving it parked at the airport. The service is available to old and new Lincoln owners, though the former get eight free hours to try the service. San Diego was part of a planned expansion. If things continue to go well, look for further rollouts in cities across the country. Related Video: News Source: Lincoln via Automotive News Lincoln Ownership

Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
