Vehicle Description
This 1984 Lincoln Continental Valentino offers a highly original
and exceptionally luxurious total package. Best of all, this
classic is the ideal mix of high-concept international style while
still being powered by the red-blooded American heart of Ford's
famous 5.0 fuel-injected V8.
This was the era of one of the most interesting Continentals to hit
the road. It was partnered with the Mark VII to introduce a
distinct aerodynamic and angular profile. And the range-topping
Valentino showed it off perfectly. It was specially outfitted by
the style icon with a Midnight Wine and Charcoal Metallic two tones
that contrast in color but are united in their rich tone. And the
way the triple-tone stripe cuts through the center of the body to
divide the two-tone really seems to complement the crisp style
lines of the hood and trunk. All of this can be seen so clearly
today because you're looking at a well-respected car. The paint
shows all the right signs of being the original application, and
the odometer is believed to represent the full actual mileage,
which would be averaging under 1,300 miles annually. Beautiful
chrome bumpers, a waterfall grille, wire wheel covers, and
Valentino insignias on the C-pillars are all part of the premium
presentation. So you'll like it for its thoughtful appearance right
down to the details - like how the walls of the newer tires match
the pinstripe.
The exterior gray is a preview of the full interior color. Like a
Valentino suit, the smart-looking gray leather has an ageless sense
of appeal. The front bucket seats can be power adjusted for that
perfect grand touring position, and no matter how far back you go,
there is going to be adult-size legroom in the rear. If you're
truly looking to make this classic your daily driver, there are a
few investments you may make, like a more modern stereo or repairs
to the headliner. But really, this is the kind of classic that
offers a ton of appeal from day one. That comes from a long list of
desirable features, like automatic A/C climate control, power
windows, power locks, keypad entry, power mirrors, power steering,
cruise control, an electric rear defogger, and an added backup
camera. Plus, the grip of the dual-spoke steering wheel, added
tach, tilt steering column, and clear view of the digital gauges
let you know this is a Lincoln made for real driving.
When you lift the hood, you'll see the unmistakable sight of Ford's
5.0-liter fuel-injected V8. The same motor that made the Mustang
the king of its era also gives this Lincoln an autorotative amount
of torque. You'll spot some upgrades like a newer aluminum radiator
and newer exhaust, but overall, this is about a well-maintained and
smooth driving package. Out on the road, features like the
four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive and four-wheel disc
brakes continued the confident driver feeling. And of course, this
never loses the supple Lincoln ride.
The sale comes with good paperwork, including the factory
buildsheet, owner's manual, service manuals, and maintenance
records. This was an expensive rarity when new, and so a Valentino
is an even rare treat today. The only difference is that it's now
offered for quite an obtainable price. Call today!!!
