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.

2016 Lincoln MKX packs plenty of power, MKC-inspired looks

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Following on the heels of Ford's unveiling of its new Edge a few months back, Lincoln officially introduced the new MKX counterpart on Tuesday at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Unlike its Ford counterpart, the MKX does away with any notion of a four-cylinder, opting for the buyer's choice of a pair of V6 engines. At its base is FoMoCo's familiar 3.7-liter V6, generating a projected 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, although the real exciting powertrain news focuses on Lincoln's optional engine. Like the Edge, the top-end engine is a 2.7-liter, EcoBoost V6 that promises "more than" 330 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. We'd love to tell you about the performance impact this new engine has on the MKX, but as Lincoln probably hasn't published a 0-60 time since 1967, that simply isn't possible. Suffice it to say, we expect the most potent engine should offer pretty brisk acceleration. Aside from the power increase provided by the MKX's new engine lineup, Lincoln has thoroughly refitted the crossover's exterior, using its handsome MKC kid brother as its inspiration. It's a good look, to be honest, allowing the new CUV to maintain its styling edge over its Blue Ovaled platform mate. See what we mean in our gallery of live images, right from the Lincoln stage at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

Sell your own: 2002 Lincoln LS V8

Ford Motor Company has been a global concern almost as long as there has been a 'Motor Company'. And while it is omnipresent in most corners of the globe, few things spoke to that globalization more than Ford's purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover near the end of the last century. And with that purchase came shared platform opportunities, some of which didn't work (Jaguar's X-Type is the most notable, whose platform was shared with the Ford Mondeo), and some that did. We'll focus on one that did: Jaguar's S-Type, whose engineering was common to the Lincoln LS. Sales didn't set the world on fire for either model, but there is something ageless about both; the Jag embraced a neo-classic theme, while Lincoln's LS is almost timeless within its 3-box, slab-sided architecture. This for-sale example, located in Melbourne, Fla., looks to be in nice condition. If the mileage is accurate and the Carfax reasonably clean, it should provide miles and years of motoring pleasure, even if only driving to your rheumatologist. The LS borders on being a quiet collectible, with less obvious pleasure in the viewing, more obvious delight in the driving; that's especially true with this model's V8.
