Vehicle Description
9,411 actual miles on this unrestored survivor. The car still looks
practically new. Only 451 made total in these colors, documented
with Marti Report. We just spent $1800 servicing the car. New a/c
compressor, new freon. The climate control works and a/c is
cold.
EXTERIOR: Rare and attractive color combination. The red with full
length rose color top and matching rose side moldings are very
unique. I'm standing next to the car and it looks new. The paint is
claimed to be all original and our inspection agrees. It has a
shiny finish. No dents, garage scrapes or rust. There are only some
minor touch ups you would have to look for. The chrome bumpers,
mirrors and door handles still look new. The stainless trim still
looks new. The door handles are not worn or pitted. The glass is
all pristine. The door jambs are spotless. Weatherstrips are still
soft and in excellent shape. I believe the Michelin tires are the
originals, they match the spare.
INTERIOR: I am very tempted to use the word perfect. As I sat in
the car I could not find even a minor flaw. It's a very special
interior that matches the exterior's 2 tone. It is all red with the
rose inserts on the seats and door panels. The seats and armrests
are glove leather. The dash area is pristine, the chrome sparkles,
no cracked plastic. Not smoked in, the ashtray and lighter have not
been used. The Cartier clock works, the annoying key buzzer works.
The plush carpets and original mats soft it's two tone red with
rose inserts to match are mint. It even smells new inside, no musty
or mousy smells. From carpet to headliner it is like brand new!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The motor compartment is 100% stock. It still
has the stickers and assembly line markings, and all the vacuum
lines are in place, the snorkel to the air cleaner is complete etc.
It has not been spray canned or messed with. It is very good
original condition. The motor is a big 460 with 4 barrel carb.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment is fully lined in gray
carpet from the factory. The space saver spare was deleted, they
opted for a full size spare. It is a matching Michelin tire that's
never been used. The jack has never been used. The paint in the
jamb and bottom of trunk lid is pristine, still has paint ok stamp.
The trunk light works. The rubber, latches, decal is excellent.
UNDERSIDE: It is completely original underneath. It has optional
dual exhaust and the mufflers still say Ford (rear resonator has
holes). The floors are still showing the body color. There is no
rot or damage what so ever. This could be considered a bench mark
car because it is 100% original. The factory assembly line markings
are all still visible throughout. It has not been derailed,
undercoated or spray canned.
These ultra low mile Cadillac's and Lincolns from the mid to late
70s are very desirable. A Mark V is at top of the list and this one
is a prime example!
