1978 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK V 2DR COUPE, BEAUTIFUL SURVIVOR IN DECENT SHAPE
It has 460 powerful engine and C6 automatic transmission and all wheel disc brakes. It still gives comfortable and enjoyable ride.
It is in very decent shape for its age. It has been taken care of pretty well. I'm just the third owner. The previous owner brought this car from Virgin islands about 10 years ago where it spent most of its life.
The body is in very good shape with some non significant dings and dents in couple places on the very bottom. The metal is solid with just some surface rust mostly on the trunk floor, inside of the hood and the front bumper. Most of the chrome is in good shape. All glass expect one small rock chip in the windshield and the tires still fair amount of tread left on them; there is also good spare tire in the trunk. The paint is not perfect, it has some touch ups and few tiny bubbles but it is still in presentable shape overall. Vinyl top has some discoloration and tiny bubbles in some areas.
Recently the lights stay turned on for some reason so I'm disconnecting the battery cable so it doesn't get drained while the car is not driven. Somebody told me it might likely the lights switch issue but I haven't had a chance to look into it.
The interior is in good shape including seats, headliner and the dash. The carpet is ok besides there is a missing small piece of it about 2 by 2 feet by the driver door. Floor boards are solid and still have the factory paint on them. There is also clicking noise in the seats once you put the ignition key in, it stops once the engine is started.
It is still fun to drive and and very comfortable car.
It can be driven or I can assist you with shipping if needed.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this vehicle and I will answer them as soon as I will check them here.
Thanks and Happy Bidding!

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford'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.
