This is a REAL 2-owner antique coupe with a strong 460cu engine and tight transmission that can be a daily driver or a great conversation piece!
The vehicle has 11,954 miles on it. Obviously there is no way I know of to guarantee those are the exact miles, however, given the condition of the vehicle, the smell, the ride, and anything else I can think of to debunk the miles on the odometer, I could not imagine it not being the actual mileage.
Vehicle was originally bought by a rather large (350lb) man who parked the vehicle in a dark, no window garage in late 1982/early 1983. It sat there until the second owner purchased it five (5) years ago. Immediately the second owner had the fuel tank and lines replaced along with the radiator core. He did this to remove any bad fuel and replaced the radiator core at the suggestion of his mechanic because coolant may have the potential to eat and leak after sitting that long.
Other than that you are looking at an all original 1974 Lincoln Mark IV Coupe.
This vehicle drives strong and rides smooth. Gears shift nice and tight with no jerking motions.
So there we have the good. Now what you all want to know....what's not perfect about this awesome car??
As I said, a large man drove it so even with the LOW miles, there is some wear on the drivers seat, but not ripped or anything. Feels like it could use a spring for a little more support. Also, due to the man's size, I am unable to get power to the drivers power seat. I am 6'1 and it sits fine for me and my wife is 5'9 an sits ok for her too.
The headliner is hanging about an inch right at the drivers side sun-visor, but the rest is in good shape.
There are probably 5 or 6 small paint flakes around the body; none larger than the tip of my pinky. Also, on the drivers door, you can barely see where he used his thigh to nudge the door closed. The current owner and my wife don't see it, but when you pick as many cars as I have, it's there. Easy fix but not noticeable to the average eye.
The chrome trim is in nice shape however the trim along the passengers side has some dings. Not hail but not sure what it is. May be able to ping it out; not major.
When the vehicle is started, the headlamp covers close unless you turn the lights on, then they open. However, when you park the car and turn the engine off, the headlamp covers slowly slide back open.
Overall this is a great car that can absolutely be enjoyed the way it sits with no additional work or money invested by you. At the same time, if you just really want to play with it, it would take VERY little to make this a no-pick car that could get valued over $20k if you went through it with a comb and just dotted all the I's.
Gentleman I am representing this car for has simply collected too many toys and his wife is on him to clear out the barn!
Don't let this one slip by!! Do your homework before you bid...Cars like this with MUCH higher miles (50k-80K) and lesser desired color combinations sale all day between $8,500 and $14,000.
Whoever gets this will be sitting pretty whether you keep it for your collection, for your daily driver, or if you want to turn a profit!
Feel free to contact with ANY questions...I pride myself on telling the good, the bad, and the ugly on all vehicles I represent. No car is perfect but this one is absolutely better than average.
There is no financing on this vehicle. We can accept cash, certified funds, or electronic transfer. Shipping is not included however I will gladly help negotiate shipping for the buyer if desired.
Thanks for bidding. jf@FamilyFirstAutomotive.com

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
AOL Autos' associate editor Peter Bigelow went deeper in his criticism. Have a read: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is A Flop.
Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.
