Gateway Classic Cars Dallas is excited to have a super special item
in inventory! One look at this long dark Blue 1979 Lincoln
Continental Collector's Series limousine, and you know the boss has
arrived. It's the perfect well preserved to deliver the best color
combo, a loaded A/C interior, a big V8 under the hood, and an
obtainable price. It's good to be the boss. The Collector Series
was the top of the line Lincoln, so this Limo carries all those top
of the line ammenaties. Lincoln has always been a premium
nameplate, but not all of them were created equal. You're looking
at a custom-built stretch limousine crafted by Executive Coach
Builders. Those who know the limo business understand these people
have been around for half a century, and they are one of the few
craftsman shops to still be around today. It's this long-lasting
quality reputation is why the sheet metal looks like the Lincoln
factory made it all. Of course, it also helps that this one has
been super well kept, all original, and with the same owner for
decades. That's what makes this one so retro and cool all in the
first impression. Plus, the concealed headlights, full vinyl roof,
and a Rolls-Royce style grille give this an international luxury
flair that lives up to the Continental name. All the details are
correct, too - from the turbine-style wheel covers, to the little
guards over the parking lights. We all love the razor-sharp fender
creases that are accented by the trim line running from parking
light to taillight. It's true full-size artistry on wheels. The
blue cloth interior is original to the car, and since it has only
averaged around 2200 miles annually, there has been little time to
wear it in. Like a true '70s luxury machine, the pillow-top design
is just as comfy as it looks. The custom stretch setup leaves
plenty of room in the back for a custom set of reverse facing seats
with a wet bar in-between. And because this one aims to be as retro
as possible, you still have great features on display like a
seperate AM FM radio, portable tube TV, and even a '70s-style car
phone! While this was originally purchased by the back seat
occupant (it was built for the founder of Royal Bank) today you're
likely going to be enjoying the drive of this classic. So luckily
it's just as luxurious up front. There's a split bench with armrest
that power adjusts to your perfect driving position. Plus, it has
other premium items like a power windows, power locks, cruise
control, and cold factory air conditioning. And they all work
exactly as it should in this well-preserved Lincoln. But if you
really want to understand the level of care that has gone into this
limo, just look at the dashboard. Beyond just the amazing condition
of the wood paneling. With a luxury car so well preserved inside
and out, it's great to have what is believed to be the original
motor (per the consignor) still in the engine bay. Ford's 400
cubic-inch power plant is related to the high-performance Cleveland
V8s that went into legendary muscle cars. But in this larger
displacement, it was refined to deliver the necessary torque to
move this large limo in quiet comfort. This has been nicely
maintained so it looks great and fires up on command. Plus, it has
power steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic
transmission. So it provides an executive level of effortlessness
from behind the wheel. This one is going to make a scene wherever
it goes - no matter if you love a unique classic or just want to
earn extra money with the coolest retro limo around. So if you like
the attention and craftsmanship of this professional car, don't
miss this deal. Call now! This 1979 Lincoln Continental is in our
