Vehicle Description
All the great big personality of the 1970s in a cool limited
edition package. This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy
Edition is a low-mileage time capsule than offers distinction,
luxury, and value.
The Continental has always been a great American luxury car with a
TON of vintage sheetmetal. This style Mark V was longer, wider, and
lower than its predecessors. The hood alone looks like it could
have its own horizon. Luxury was a guarantee with features like the
razor-sharp fender creases, Rolls-Royce style grille, and 1970s
cool flat front hidden headlights. This is accented by attractive
parking light lenses that are miniature works of casting genius.
Out back, the deck lid features the Continental's trademark spare
tire hump/continental kit. But there's something special about this
coupe. Few people were willing to add 16% over the already
expensive Mark V for the Givenchy Edition. That makes the
factory-correct Crystal Blue Moondust Metallic paint a unique
feature. This included other notable upgrades such the pinstriping
and half vinyl roof in a complementary shade of darker blue. You
might have also noticed the Givenchy was the only one that covered
the forward half of the roof, and the rear portion had the hallmark
opera windows, but now they have Givenchy in the glass.
Inside the seating reflect the exterior perfectly. The blue leather
is a nice matching shade for the accessory color, and all the
seatbacks have the Givenchy logo stitched into them. The doors,
dash, headliner, and even the steering wheel continue this great
blue theme. It's joined by some tasteful wood trim to really give
it a premium atmosphere. All of it is presented in like-new
condition, because less than 20K on the odometer means there is
very little seat time. The interior is large enough to comfortably
seat six people, and up front you can fold down the armrests for
the choice of independent luxury. As expected with a true premium
cruiser, this one comes with power everything - power windows,
power door locks, and power front seats. Other great comfort
features in this classic include cruise control and the original
AM/FM stereo with 8-track. There is even a Cartier in-dash clock in
front of the driver, so you know this is true automotive
jewelry.
Ford's smooth and refined 400 cubic-inch Cleveland V8 provides
effortless performance in the Continental. It has good horsepower,
but the real story is the torque that's about enough to pull a
boat. Of course you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this
beautiful big bodied car, but it's this kind of available strength
that allows you to smoothly and quickly cruise away from the
stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the numbers-matching
big blue Ford engine looks factory-fresh. While this is the perfect
car for the drive-in (after all, it's more comfortable than any
movie theater seat), there's much more to the Mark V. It has a
three-speed C6 automatic transmission, power steering, and disc
brakes at all four wheels. This means you can ride in comfort to
car meets as far away as you want.
This Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition is a rare classic with low
miles and an exceptionally affordable price. An opportunity like
this is seldom and fleeting, so if you want to take it home, call
today!
