For Sale: 1979 Lincoln Continental in Ft Worth, Texas

Vehicle Description

This 1979 Lincoln Continental has the look of tropical ocean water inside and out. So it really brings extra definition to a "cruiser" kind of classic. And everything from proper V8 power to the luxurious A/C interior gets you ready for a true classic that was made for road journeys.


There's an added presence to a car like this. It was the longest car Lincoln had put on the road, and so it just seems to own the blacktop. Of course, this imposing style also comes from the hidden headlights, big chrome bumpers, and long slab-sided profile. The blue paint sets a nice tone for the car by being premium without being staid. In fact, this shows all the right signs of originality including a few touches of sun fade that tell people you have a survivor. So the overall style is not about being aggressive, but instead, just a classic that's large and in charge. That's why it has boss-level elegance with the Rolls-Royce inspired grille, contoured hood, turbine-style wheel covers, and full-length white pinstripe. This is also badged a Town Car, and it has the right features for this with details like the coach lamps and a vinyl roof that coordinates in blue.


The sea of blue continues inside, and it's quite impressive. Plush carpeting, wood-like trim, a good headliner, and the smooth dash have a stock and preserved style that's quite inviting. And the leather upholstery is clean, complete, and supple. So while it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full actual mileage, the interior certainly looks like a 16k-mile survivor. More than just preservation, you're going to love this for its level of features. It includes power front seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering column, remote mirror control, and air conditioning now blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant. And it makes sure to deliver a true vintage experience that even continues to have its premium AM/FM digital stereo with 8-track. So this has the kind of time capsule style and acres of space that will have plenty of family and friends joining you on a pleasure cruise.


Under the hood is Lincoln's hardy 400 cubic-inch V8. This one warms up to be a strong runner, and these are known for their hardy nature. Plus, the smooth and supple ride you want in a long sedan like this makes it a true cruiser. It also has power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed automatic transmission. It all makes for the kind of cool survivor that also loves to hit the road.


It's hard not to get excited about well-preserved classic American luxury, especially when it's also quite affordable. Call today!!!
