Vehicle Description
A low-mileage and loaded triple-black survivor is what you get with
this 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV. And as you dig deeper you
discover everything from desirable big block power to some
sought-after rarity. So it's amazing all this classic car
distinction is currently being offered for such an obtainable
price.
This is the first year for the Continental Mark IV, and it's for
lovers of intricate design. The front has the Rolls-Royce style
grille and 1970s chic flat front hidden headlights. Out back, the
deck lid features the Continental's trademark spare tire
hump/continental kit. And because it was built before new bumper
laws, they fit flush with the body as an integral part of the
design. It was all part of Lincoln's upper class image, so it's
essential that it's all as crisp as you see on this example. The
paint has a great shine that you love from a deep black, and as you
get closer there are also plenty of signs that this is the original
application from the Michigan factory. So you get the best of both
worlds - a nice luster for casual observers, but the unmissable
worn-in look for those who want to see a 45+ year survivor. The
coordinating black vinyl roof is not only a terrific premium piece
that's still in great condition, but also Lincoln fan will notice
something else. In '72 the opera rear windows were an option. They
were so popular that they became standard in the subsequent years.
So to find one from the single-year where the full roof was
available, but rarely chosen, is true distinction this survivor
will carry forever.
The full black interior finishes off the ultra-desirable triple
black package (exterior, roof, and interior) this had from the
factory. The pillow-top seats have that feeling of true cruising
opulence. You have the choice to seat six total, or fold down the
front armrest to give you true individual luxury. Plus, the
wood-like trim on the doors and dash add to the upper-class feeling
while breaking up the darkness. As expected from a vehicle of this
caliber, there are plenty of factory luxuries, including power
windows, power locks, cruise control, and provisions for power
seats. This is such a great survivor that even the stereo is still
the correct factory 8-track unit. You can really enjoy this classic
car experience with all the windows down and still stay in comfort
thanks to the cold-blowing factory air conditioning. As you slip
behind the wood and black steering wheel, you get the tingle to
take this one out for a cruise. So while the coupe has only
averaged around 1,200 miles annually over its lifetime, we know you
won't be able to resist adding to that total.
Ford's smooth and refined 460 cubic inch V8 with four-barrel
carburetor is a terrific powerhouse, and this example is believed
to be original to the car. Serious big block power from just before
the low-compression era creates the kind of power and torque that
made these grand cruisers feel effortless. Fans of originality will
love how the big blue Ford engine looks as survivor-grade as the
exterior. You'll enjoy features like the power steering, front disc
brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission. It's part of a
total package that can easily take you in comfort to car shows as
far away as you want.
The sale comes with the right paperwork, including the original
warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. This is the
survivor-grade triple-black big block cruiser of your dreams. So at
a price like this, you know you need to hurry. Call now!
