Vehicle Description
*1985 Lincoln Continental Mark VII LSC*The Lincoln Continental is
without question one of the most important luxury cars in the
history of the American automotive industry. From its early
generations with Rolls-Royce-rivaling quality to the era-defining
"suicide-door" cars from the early 1960s, the Continental was
always a car at the cutting edge of styling and technology. The
Mark VII was a personal luxury coupe that debuted in 1983 for the
1984 model year. Based on the Fox Body Mustang chassis, the car was
smaller and nimbler than previous Continentals, yet it retained the
luxury buyers had come to expect from the brand.This 1985 Mark VII
LSC is a fantastically preserved example that shows just 16,908
miles from new at the time of cataloging. It sold new at L&B
Lincoln-Mercury in Babylon, NY on November 23, 1984, spending the
majority of its life in Florida and California. Finished in
Midnight Black, and complemented with a Charcoal leather interior,
the car presents in knockout condition throughout, showing as a
true icon of 1980s American luxury. The LSC nomenclature stands for
"Luxury Sports Coupe", giving the 2-door Lincoln an air of
exclusivity. From the outside, the LSC was differentiated by the
reduced chrome trim, with the example on offer here sporting
16-inch BBS mesh wheels and blackwall tires.Inside, the LSC
featured a full console, floor shifter, and a futuristic-looking
set of digital gauges, along with heavily bolstered sport seats.
That said, the Mark VII still placed luxury above all else so the
seats remained extremely comfortable, and the car was packed with
amenities. A premium audio system with a cassette player was fitted
in the center console, alongside an automatic climate control
system. A digital message display gave readouts for average speed,
fuel economy and other important stats, while an overhead console
included an exterior thermometer, map lights, compass display and
garage door opener. The moonroof, windows, mirrors and locks were,
of course, electrically controlled, and the factory even fitted a
keyless entry system, operated via an integrated keypad on the
driver's side door.Powering the Mark VII is the same H.O. 5.0-liter
fuel injected V8 found in the contemporary Mustang. Producing 140
horsepower and 250lb-ft of torque, power was sent to a limited slip
rear axle via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Spent gasses exited
through twin exhaust outlets, and it was the first American car to
be fitted with standard 4-wheel disc brakes, fitted with ABS.
Additionally, to ensure a smooth ride a factory air suspension was
used, leveling the car when loaded with luggage or occupants. This
example just underwent a servicing with us at Park Place and is
ready to be driven and enjoyed!In the world of classic cars,
finding an Italian supercar or a limited edition Corvette with low
miles that has been cherished by its previous owners isn't too
difficult to do. But when it comes the Lincoln Continental Mark
VII, when somebody bought one it was to drive it and to pile on
miles. That's what makes finding a car like this so special - an
impeccably preserved example of one of America's finest '80s luxury
cars, a truly affordable collectible .*Key Features* * Just 16,908
