1975 Lincoln Continental MARK IV. V8 460ci. Auto. 56,xxx original miles. It runs, drives, shifts, and sounds amazing. Everything works on this classic...Exterior/interior lights, power windows, power locks, windshield wipers, hot heat, hide away headlights, even the original 8 track!! It has a good ride/suspension and is fun to cruise around. It draws attention everywhere it rolls. This car has been owned since 1985 and was ALWAYS garage kept. I have provided a detailed description with over 100 detailed pictures along with video clips. I would want the same done for me if I was buying a vehicle through Ebay. I have the clean and clear title in my name, in hand, and ready for a new owner. Hopefully with the hours I have invested in taking pictures and making this auction I have answered all questions, but if not, feel free to call: 513-464-TEN TWENTY. But please read everything and view all of the pics/videos prior to calling.
This body panels are all original. The hood, both doors, and trunk open and close with that tight clicking sound you find on newer cars. All of the glass is crack free. The body is razor straight with its original white paint and red pin stripe. The frame, floorpans, and trunk have surface rust, but everything appears to be VERY solid underneath. The paint still has a shine, but there is some rust forming in a few places. Everything is extremely solid with exception of the drivers front fender well lip. You can see this in the pictures. This would be a perfect foundation for an easy restoration. It is sporting its original rims(in excellent condition) wrapped with new tires. The original spare wheel and jack is also intact in the trunk. Both bumpers are in good original condition, but there is one spot on the front bumper that has rust. The original white vinyl top is showing some wear, but still looks pretty good. This is all just my opinion......Pictures will say a thousand words below, but needless to say this is an extremely original and rare Mark IV that turns heads everywhere.
56,xxx original miles. (Title says 90,xxx actual, previous owner accidently wrote 90k and explained to me what happened.)
Original V8 460 with new stainless steel valve guides.
-NEW jasper automatic transmission.(Shifts into every gear PERFECTLY)
-New complete exhaust system.(No exhaust leaks and sounds great!)
-New white wall tires.
-New front shocks.
-New master cylinder, brakes, and calipers.
-New battery.
-This MARK IV does leak a little power steering fluid underneath it. I have not located where it is coming from, but there is no other leaks that I have knoteced.
The interior is original. It is white and red. The dash and all of the wood grain is in excellent condition. The door panels are in good condition for being original. The white/red front leather seat is in decent condition, but the drivers side is cracked up pretty bad. The white/red rear leather seat is in good condition. The carpet is decent. And the headliner is in good conditon. Still has original floormats. The power windows, locks, and tilt wheel works. The power seat also works!! The hideaway headlights work like new. This MARK IV also has its original 8 track stereo! The stereo sounds good throughout its factory speakers and the 8 track still works! All of the original gauges work great with exception of the fuel gauge. It does rarely work, but most of the time it sits on empty. I am thinking it has a bad connection, but not sure. The interior is amazing condition for being almost 4 decades old!
Overall, this is a an absolutely rare original find of a classic Lincoln Mark IV. It has been well taken care of throughout the years, but definitely shows signs of age. It can be driven the way it is or you can of course restore it while you cruise it. It is blast to cruise around and has a very comfortable suspension ride with a lot of power from the big V8 460. If you read the description and look at all pics below, then there is absolutely no disapointments with this vehicle. I really cannot nitpick much about it considering how old it is..however I tried in the description above, as I would want the same done for me.

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth. The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy. Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum. It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive. Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
