Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this gold land
yacht 1977 Lincoln Town Car. This car is show quality inside and
out and ready to be enjoyed. This Gold Lincoln is an all original
with numbers matching motor and transmission. This car is fun to
drive and floats along as it cruises down the road. Only having 56k
actual miles, there is plenty of life left in the car. The overall
condition of the paint, interior, motor, and drivability is suburb.
Options on this Town Car include: Air conditioning, AM/FM radio,
cruise control, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power
windows, tilt wheel, power mirrors, upgraded cloth interior with
Lincoln symbols and added style inserts, and even white wall tires.
For 1975-1979, the exterior of the Lincoln Continental underwent a
major revision. Although the body below the beltline saw only minor
change (the taillights redesigned in the style of the Mark IV), the
roofline was completely restyled. To separate itself from the Mark
IV, the two-door Continental/Town Coupe adopted a fully pillared
roofline with a square opera window in the C-pillar. In place of
the pillared hardtop shared with the Mercury Marquis and Ford LTD,
the four-door Continental/Town Car adopted a wide B-pillar; to
distinguish itself from the Cadillac Sixty Special Brougham; Town
Cars were given the oval opera window introduced on the Mark IV.
Along with the styling upgrades, 1975 Lincolns received substantial
upgrades to the braking system. Designed by Bendix,[57] the Lincoln
Continental became one of the first American cars equipped with a
4-wheel disc brake system (as an option). To further improve the
emissions performance of the 460 V8, the engine was fitted with
catalytic converters, ending its compatibility with leaded regular
gasoline. For 1979, the interior underwent further updating, as the
Mercury-sourced dashboard received additional wood trim. The 460 V8
was deleted from the Lincoln/ Mark V model line entirely, leaving
the 400 V8 as the sole engine. This Lincoln is perfect for a comfy
daily driver or even a show car. This 1979 Lincoln Town car is for
