1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V
Description
The 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V is an exceptionally well-preserved black-on-black example of one of the most dramatic American personal-luxury coupes ever built. Finished in black with a matching black Landau vinyl roof, it presents with understated elegance and the unmistakable proportions of the final full-size Mark series. Signature features include concealed headlights, opera windows, functional fender vents, a power glass sunroof, simulated spare-tire decklid hump, turbine-style wheels, and chrome bumpers with black rub strips.
Under the hood is the smooth and torquey 400ci V8 with a two-barrel carburetor, paired with a 3-Speed Automatic transmission. The drivetrain is tuned for quiet, effortless cruising, making the Mark V feel exactly as intended: isolated, comfortable, and refined on the open road. Power steering and four-wheel disc brakes further support its grand-touring character.
The interior is upholstered in black leather on the power-adjustable Comfort Lounge front seats and rear bench, accented by woodgrain trim throughout the cabin. Equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power locks, a Quadrasonic AM/FM stereo with eight-track player, and a Cartier clock. This ultra-low-mileage survivor is a highly desirable example of peak late-1970s Lincoln luxury and presence.
