1979 Lincoln

Continental Mark V



This Mark V is a rare model!

It is a European model with German registration for the first time on August 14, 1979 in Munich.

 t was an exclusive affair. I have only seen a few European models in the last 40 years and most of them were in poor condition.

This Mark V is in excellent condition! The car has never been used in winter and has always been a collector's item. It is unrestored.

The mileage is only 34.000 original kilometers. The car is free of defects and has an H registration.

The Mark V comes from a generation of "personal luxury cars". You could order a wide variety of versions and extras.

This has the following options:

- Electric glass sunroof (mirrored)

- Cruise control

- Adjustable steering wheel

- Electrically adjustable front seats

- Continuously variable intermittent windshield wipers

- AM/FM stereo cassette radio (rare, as it's not an 8-track, but rather a compact cassette!)

- Residual fuel consumption indicator (sensationally accurate!)

- Electric rear window heater

- Central locking

- Interior lighting can be activated via the driver's door handle

- Large vinyl roof

- 2nd outside mirror

- Large lower sill trim (had to be ordered!)

- Black premium side trim

- Turbine look alloy wheels

- Outside temperature indicator, illuminated in the outside mirror

- Special stone chip protection below the trim strips

- Dark red side trim strips

- Whitewall tires

That's a lot for the price of 3.500 USD at the time!

There is a complete, extensive documentation folder.

In addition, there are the new-looking leather seats and the automatic climate control, the 6.6 liter V8 and the comfortable Ford automatic transmission.

The quiet engine and transmission, together with the very good suspension comfort, make driving the Mark V a pleasure. One wonders where the progress has gone compared to modern cars.
