You are viewing a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV in bullion gold (of course that is not the actual name of the color, but in the sunlight it glows exactly like a bar of gold) with corresponding leather interior.  It is a two-owner, 44K mile automobile with a strong 460 cu in motor and all the power accessories, including ice cold A/C.  I recently fitted the car with new whitewalls and invested $700 in an extensive tune-up and an A/C service and refresh, so it is absolutely ready to be enjoyed.  The second owner purchased it in 1977 and It is unrestored and nearly flawless.  I urge anyone serious about acquiring it to come look at it in person; it will astound you.  The paintwork is the best I have ever seen and it has to be one of the most impressive Mark IV's in the nation.  It is literally the color of a bar of gold.  I've included a photo of a brake rotor and caliper I took when the tires were being put on to give you an indication of just how well-preserved this car is in every way. And additionally, I was even able to locate the build sheet less than a week ago, which will allow you to trace the originality of this car much more thoroughly than you otherwise could.  Its a heck of a treat to find a piece of documentation on an automobile that has been hidden away and untouched for more than 35 years!

This is by far the most striking Mark Series automobile I've ever seen and I just had to relate this anecdote.  On the day that I worked on the photos for this listing I happened to stop in front of a small country church just as the attendees of a Saturday afternoon wedding were exiting the building.  The bridal party was moving off towards their cars and the congregation was still miling about and saying their goodbyes on the church steps as I sat at the intersection waiting for traffic to clear.  It was a beautiful day -- perfect for the lucky newlyweds or for a cruise in a cool car -- and I was admiring the scenery and the well-dressed paritioners, and pondering the twists of fate that have to this point allowed my to avoid the marital yoke.  And just as I was at the peak of my pleasant reverie and preparing to pull away a girl in the bridal party turned and pointed at me in the Mark and said, "Hey look at that car!" Well, apparently everyone was watching the bridal party exit because as if on cue all of the seventy-five or so people turned in unison and watched my slowly drive off.  I'd like to think they saw the appearance of a pure gold Lincoln as a sign that the union was charmed.  It was a cool moment for a very deserving automobile, because it has been meticulously garage-kept and cloistered for decades, it seemed only right to show it off a bit and let it shine in the afternoon sun.  Enjoy the photos and the video at the link below!
