15,022 actual miles! One family owned since new. A woman purchased
it, the son hung onto it when she passed. Most expensive American
car made in 1979. The Collector's Series is fully loaded including
extras only available on this model. It has it's own umbrella,
leather bound tool kit, a garage door opener kit, bucket seats with
console and so much more. Original paperwork, Marti report, are
included. The special gold emblem with the limited edition # and
the door emblem with owner's initials are still in original
box.
EXTERIOR: Beautiful midnight blue metallic with padded Landau top
and matching padded trunk hump. The turbine wheels are color
matched to the car, body side moldings are color matched. Grill has
gold accents. Very original and in very nice shape. Has some rock
chips in front, 1 door ding. No rust. The chrome, glass and rubber
are excellent. Original Michelin tires.
INTERIOR: It is so luxurious. The soft cloth pillow top seats were
considered an upgrade over leather. Rare bucket seats have full
power. In the middle is a deluxe console with locking compartment,
inside you will find the umbrella included with this model. The
front portion opens up to a CB radio. Glove soft leather trim is
used throughout including the entire dash pad, seat moldings,
armrests and entire console. Overhead is a power sunroof with
sunshade. The carpet is thick and plush. The visors have lighted
vanity mirrors and I just discovered something really cool. Drivers
visor has a garage door button and there's a sticker from Ford on
the mirror with the codes. Guess what I found in the trunk still in
the box? The digital controller that goes in the garage with a
Lincoln logo still on it. I've never seen one. Of course the car is
also full of all the power accessories, climate control, cruise,
tilt, lumbar etc. Has premium Quadraphonic stereo with power
antenna. Everything appears to be working including the Cartier
clock. Wood appliques are used on doors, dash and seat backs. Also
has map pockets on the backs of the seats. It is absolutely like
brand new in this car. I'm literally sitting in here trying to find
a flaw and I can't. The rear seat belts are still wrapped in
plastic, ashtrays are shiny and believe me or not it smells
new.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has original 400 motor. It is just as it left
the factory. Tags, stickers, ink stamps are still in place. Never
monkeyed with, spray painted etc.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is fully lined in the same plush carpet
that's in the interior. Even the bottom of the trunk lid, tire
cover and even the jack is carpeted. The original spare tire has
never been out of the trunk. Has original jack. The original
leather wrapped tool kit unique to the Collector Series is strapped
in place. It is 100% complete including a letter and contents card.
Has everything from flares to bulbs, fuses and tools. The
screwdriver even says Collector Series on the handle. It is like
new in the trunk. The latches are still shiny, has factory ink
stamp, weatherstrip still like new.
UNDERSIDE: Very original. Not messed with, not spray painted over.
Absolutely no rot, yes it has surface haze of rust on some
suspension, bolts, brackets etc. The floors are pristine. It still
has some assembly line paint markings and tags. Original exhaust
with Ford muffler. Has C-6 automatic trans and disc brakes at all
four wheels.
This was the Flagship of the eloquent Lincoln line up. The Mark V
is very desirable because of it's style and size. Last year for
"full" size. This one right here is the ultimate. I'm going to go
take a nap in the front seat now.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
