1973 Lincoln Mark IV - Gateway Classic Cars St. Louis -

#6303
For sale in our St. Louis showroom is a wonderful flashback to 70's style and finesse, a numbers matching 1973 Lincoln Continental Mark IV. Believed to be actual miles at 98,405, options include: Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio with 8-Track deck, Cruise Control, Hub Caps, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Seats, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, and Radial Tires.
From the gold on gold on gold color scheme down to the shag carpet that lines the floorboard, this original un-restored time capsule perfectly reflects the beginning of the disco era. A big 2 door like this needs a big engine to move it down the road, and Lincoln came through with a 460 CID 7.5L Ford 385 series V8 engine. Lincoln enlisted the C6 3 speed automatic transmission to help convert the power from the massive V8 to the rear wheels. To stop this behemoth Lincoln Motor Company trusted the "Sure-Track" Anti-Lock Brake System, which was standard on all Mark IVs. Once you open the driver's door you are greeted with the bountiful leather seats and the plush shag carpeted floorboard. Slide into the supple seat and adjust it to your desired position with the push of a button. With power windows and power locks you have just about every modern amenity you need, but wait, there's more! Tilt the wheel to your comfort level and don't forget the cruise control as you're floating down the freeway at a comfy 70 mph. Set your desired temperature, be it hot or extra cold on the A/C dial, then pop that favorite 8-Track of yours into the AM/FM radio and its 1973 all over again.
Although longer and wider than the Mark III, the Mark IV carried over most of its styling points from the Mark III. Including the tall, prominent grille, the long-hood short-deck style, covered headlamps, and the "spare tire hump" in trunk. All Mark IVs were equipped with a vinyl roof. The Mark IV introduced the opera window to the Mark series, a feature that would become a Mark trademark until 1984. In 1972, it was an almost universally specified option and from 1973 onward it was standard equipment.
