1978 Lincoln Mark V Up for Auction With NO RESERVE 81K original miles, 460 V8. Rare color combination with burgundy vinyl quarter top and burgundy padded trunk. Options include power moonroof, working AM/FM cassette player with working power antenna, tilt steering wheel and remote trunk release. I am the the second owner, I have the original owner's warranty card as seen in the photo. Mechanical: I have done a handful of things and they sure do add up. The major things I've done were a new radiator and full exhaust system, the Lincoln is remarkably quiet considering the size of the engine. I've also done a full tuneup, new disc brake pads all around, new front rotors, and had the a/c charged up last spring. The previous owner replaced the compressor and retrofitted the a/c to modern freon. I've fixed alot of smaller things; I got the cruise control working, fixed the headlight doors (which would stay open, now they close when the headlights are off) and fixed the horn. The a/c worked great all summer but seemed to need a charge by September. The steering has begun to feel a bit loose, she could probably use some front end work. I've had a few Lincoln Mark V's and this one is by far runs the best. It's very quiet and when you're stopped at a light you don't even feel the engine. Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, the burgundy leather is original and showing some age cracking in the driver's seat as seen in the pix. Otherwise everything inside is in great shape, the dash, door panels, carpet, headliner, visors and moonroof shade are close to perfect. Window motors, headlight doors, and power moonroof work perfectly. Moonroof does not leak at all, even in heavy rain or a car wash. The moonroof is huge, almost feels like a convertible when you've got it fully open. The previous owner tinted the windows; it looks nice with the white paint but is nicked in a few spots. The weatherstripping around the windows and in the trunk was replaced by the previous owner. When you're on the highway with the windows up you can't hear any road noise, it's nice and quiet inside. The paint is original but is still very presentable as seen in the pix. Some slight bubbling in the paint in a couple of spots, only visible up close. The vinyl on the roof and trunk are pretty good, the padded trunk vinyl is showing some age but I've kept it garaged and applied Armor All and it's held up well. The body is very straight, never hit or had any bodywork anywhere, the doors close easily (the last Mark V I had required a really hard slam or the doors would only partly latch) and the bumpers are shiny, no dents or peeling anywhere. Everything lines up perfectly on this car, which is great on a car with such straight body lines. She is a total blast to drive! The power from the 460 V8 is a pleasure, the last Mark I had came with the 400 V8 and the difference between the 400 and the 460 is substantial. Cruises nicely on the highway and brakes evenly with the four wheel disc brakes. She starts on the first try even in cold weather, idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an American classic luxury cruiser should. No leaks from anywhere, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. I'm only selling the Lincoln due to financial constraints, I've got a lot of money invested in the car. I hope to find her a good home. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Lincoln is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I
can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary,
cost of shipping to paid by buyer. If you need it I can recommend a door
to door auto shipper I've used many times in the past; they're
professional, reliable and have great rates. This is a NO RESERVE auction, top bidder gets her! Classic Lincoln which will only appreciate in value! Any questions feel free to call or email. 914-224-3230 |

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Sun, 02 Dec 2012Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.
Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline
Tue, Feb 24 2015Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.
