Rare find, the Mark IV 1972 Continental is a one year only car
Made before the 5 mile an hour front impact bumpers, emission controls, smaller engine and the reworked rear end.
A true luxury classic
A true luxury classic that's also a complete survivor like this should not be this affordable, as when you look over every inch of this 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV, you'll be amazed at the level of preservation that has endured for 53 years.
The Mark IV arrived in 1972 resurrected after the Mark III in 1969.
The 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is 228 inches long, with a 120-inch wheelbase.
This Lincoln features the “Continental spare” in the trunk lid as well as hidden headlamps and the de rigueur Rolls-aping grille.
The Mark IV tips the scales at well over two and a half tons. This was an era when Ford would advertise their cars as having “road-hugging weight,” and apparently none hugged tighter than the big Lincolns.
All that excess weight needed a big motor to move it. Under the flight deck… er, hood lies a 460 CID V8, still with a four-barrel Edelbrock carb. Factory rated at 212 horsepower (this was the first year that manufacturers were required to report net) and was backed up by a C6 three-speed automatic.
This car has seen one repaint, a new top, rebuilt engine, new exhaust system, and new ac system.
The car’s paint is Gold Moondust Metallic and that’s matched to a dark brown leather interior with tufted upholstery and lots of fake woodgrain on the dash and doors.
The cabin is very nice and comfortable, and the car has functional A/C/ heat and a sunroof, rarities on American cars of this age.
This Mark IV presently has everything in my name; including a clean AZ title, also carries AZ insurance and wears AZ tags valid until 2027.
I purchased this car in Las Vegas NV I have now owned this car for since December 2021. My heart is with vintage American autos. I buy them as a hobby, and the experience.
The car is located in Dolan Springs AZ about 1 hour outside of Las Vegas.
I drive it on the weekends, tinker with it when I can, I enjoy having and looking at it. This Lincoln Continental is now a true survivor, with now very few of these automobile icons are still on the road.
This hot rod Lincoln will “start right up,” drive, stop, and run “smooth and quiet.” runs and preforms as it should, has impressive acceleration for such a big car with only a 650-cfm carburetor keeps up well even at today's standards.
It truly is a pleasure driving the 19ft long car, it sounds so awesome with the big 460 block humming down the road. The transmission shifts smooth, has all its gears, and has clean fluid; the electrical and wiring system are excellent with no parasitic shorts, or charging issues.
The fuel system is clean, Straight and solid frame, the floorboards, rocker arms, and under the doors are all rust free. Original spare tire, nice over all interior, All the power windows operate, doors trunk, and hood all open and close properly. Shocks are good, front end is solid with no rattles or clunks.
The car's interior smells nice, the power seats operate as they should, the seats are also very comfortable. The headlights function up and down as they should as well
I welcome pre inspections prior to purchase. This car is for sale from my residence.
It's true that some vintage vehicles have historically appreciated at a rate greater than the stock market, gold, and other arts and collectibles.
