Continental Mk IV---The Lincoln Continental Mark IV was new for the
1972 model year, available only as a two-door hardtop coupe. It was
instantly recognizable because of its small 'Greek Temple' grille,
oval opera windows, and Continental rear trunk lid hump that evoked
the Continental Kits of the 1950s. On top of all that, the new
Continental was four inches longer than the 1971 model, adding to
the visual impression of an extremely long hood. Under that long
hood was a 460-cid big-block V-8 sourced from Ford. The Mark IV
delivered 224 net hp, down quite a bit from the 365 hp of the 1971
model. Some of that loss reflects the change from gross to net
horsepower in 1972, but the earlier engine had a 10.5:1 compression
ratio, while the new 460 had only 8.5:1. -Vehicle is on consignment
