6,474 actual miles! This is an outstanding survivor that looks and
performs practically new.
It has a great story: The original owner was a woman that never
married or had children. When she was in assisted living she told
her goddaughter about a Lincoln she owns that has been on display
in the Buffalo Transportation Museum. Until then nobody else knew
about the car. The goddaughter was shocked because she actually
visited the museum and remembered seeing the car. She inherited the
car and sold it to the next owner which is a Lincoln collector. He
serviced the car and put about 3,000 of the miles on it. You are
getting the best of both worlds: a mint looking survivor that has
been serviced and is ready to be enjoyed!
EXTERIOR: The Mark V is a striking example of a luxury car in the
1970s. It's long hood with hideaway headlights and a big chrome
grille in front of it, distinctive opera windows and fender louvers
on each side, vertical blade taillights and the signature
continental in back contribute to it's bold style. This one is
remarkably clean and it's original! The body has no rust or damage,
not even a door dent. The original black paint still looks like
new, even the original red painted pinstripe. Even the jambs are
clean and the weatherstrips are soft. The bumper fillers are not
damaged. Overall the chrome and trim looks great. It has the Vilano
full vinyl top is like new. Original crystal clear glass. The tires
were replaced, it's ready for the road, although you will feel like
you are on a cloud!
INTERIOR: I want this seat in my living room! The dark red leather
is glove soft and still like new. Actually this entire interior is
still practically brand new from carpet to headliner. The entire
dash area looks immaculate. It's not cracked, faded or worn. The
plush carpets look fresh along with the original floor mats. The
headliner is still tight as a drum.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Outstanding preservation, this original engine
compartment is clean. It is 100% in tact from the vacuum lines, air
cleaner duct work and even assembly line stickers. The 400 motor
runs smooth. It has been serviced with new belts, hoses, fluids and
the air conditioning was charged. Other features include cruise
control, power steering and brakes.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Still 100% original and in excellent shape.
Under the trunk lid and the jamb have pristine paint, the assembly
stamps are not even worn off. The trunk light works and the
weatherstrip is soft. Inside is lined wall to wall. That's the
original spare and jack, I don't think it's ever been out of the
trunk!
UNDERSIDE: It's very well preserved and clean under this car.
There's absolutely no rotten metal, all smooth and clean floors.
There are still assembly line paint markings, it even still has a
paper tag on the transmission! The fuel tank, sending unit and fuel
pump look like they've been replaced. I believe it has the original
exhaust which includes a muffler and a resonator to assure it is
quiet. The brakes were replaced, it features disc at all four of
the wheels. Looking up at the motor it is clean. It has a C6 heavy
duty automatic transmission and the original rear end has cruising
gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
This is an amazing time capsule, one of the cleanest survivors I've
seen! Get behind the wheel and find out what true luxury really is.
This is truly a rare opportunity.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights.
Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are
interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment
with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an
admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a
car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year
museum membership.
