[@Sergissandaclassic]

What a beautiful find here. Glad to see Bill and Christian back on line ! Someone is in for a sweet Diamon Jubilee here !

[@christianbugatticg]

Anyone I may know??? lol lol

[@bradleyteets8326]

You can say that again. It is a beauty

[@Sergissandaclassic]

​, hahahahaha you just never know these days!

[@seand2711]

I was thinking about bidding but those 2 scratches on the faux wood changed my mind. I just couldn't live with myself driving it in that condition. 😉

[@christianbugatticg]

Haha. Yeah that kills the whole car!! lol

[@Barbarapape]

I feel the same, they may be minor blemishes but they are there and once you have seen them they would drive you to distraction. This is a shame on what otherwise is an excellent example.

@@Barbarapape I was on joking. It's gorgeous. Wish I had room for it.

[@Barbarapape]

I wish i lived in the USA, the shipping costs to the UK would kill the deal. My local body shop has a guy that can remove dents from anything, it is just a shame that they used thin metal in the side mouldings that dents so easily. The rest of the car is so good that it would be a shame to not have the minor blemishes seen to. Someone is going to have a great car to cherish.@@seand2711

I love the color of this car.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks!

[@bdpopeye]

Sweet! I had a '77 Ford LTD Landau with those same power vent windows. That car like this was awesome. It was 9 years old when I bought it. That car loved to burn gas... fortunately gas was only .86 cents a gallon at that time. Oh well that was oh so long ago! thanks for posting Bill!!

[@christianbugatticg]

Nice nice nice!!

[@cadillacguy1890]

Only 5,159 Diamond Jubilee editions of the 1978 Mark V were made. 2602 were in the special Diamond Jubilee Blue leaving 2557 in the unique gold. There’s a real diamond chip in the opera window dotting the I in the diamond Jubilee script. What a nice example.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks for those numbers. I knew there were a few less gold cars.

[@paulzanetti300]

Simulated diamond. If they were a 'real diamond', they wouldn't last five minutes.

[@cadillacguy1890]

@@paulzanetti300 some sources say genuine Diamond and others say simulated. I just researched the original sales brochure and it says simulated, so simulated it is. I’m surprised, to me that’s kind of like giving your fiancé cubic zirconium.

Such a sweet ride!! The place looks great, too!!

[@christianbugatticg]

Hey thanks I appreciate it!

[@youtold7727]

I was going to buy this but then you pointed out that stain on the matt lol Yea right this car is brand new. I picked these up to wash/wax or detail in the years when they were new and I can say you didn’t feel bumps and on the highway they were so quiet and smooth. Another winner

[@christianbugatticg]

Ahhh the dreaded spot on the mat!! Lol! You don't know how much that annoyed me that I couldn't get it out!! haha! Thanks!

[@youtold7727]

lol oh but I do. Still a time capsule. If you take a razor blade and just rub it back and forth with the blade horizontally not in a way that you would cut it just rub gently back and forth like a paint brush I guess. I don’t know if I said that for you to understand but you could lessen the stain

[@davidbusk2255]

Why thank you!

[@bertram46]

Absolutely stunning......

[@christianbugatticg]

Good way to describe it! Thanks!

[@klavers]

Glad to see the specific hood accent stripe. I always wonder why they use the cheaper looking cloth fabric instead the thick velour trim that where used in other mark series, velour was an about 1,500 dollar option with the designer series rare but velour was premium over leather.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks!! Some people always thought leather should be an option in these.

[@marko7843]

@@christianbugatticg I always thought leather WAS an option, and it should have been standard for the price!

[@christianbugatticg]

It always was, but the Jubilee cars had this special interior. @@marko7843

[@jeffreydavis7657]

Absolutely stunning! Hopefully someone will be driving the most beautiful car on the road. Even though I love almost everything about it, I just can't get passed the cloth seats. I know it's a preference but I would pay anything for leather or vinyl. They always look much nicer (because they are). That said, both the blue and the gold Diamond Jubilee colors are gorgeous, and I would take either one.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks!! That is the way Lincoln decided to market these. Leather would have been a nice option, but these seats are SOOO comfy!

[@jeffreydavis7657]

Yes they were amazing soft, I will say that.@@christianbugatticg

Woah boy this car will look good in my collection hey Bill how are you my man I'm an Oldsmobile Lincoln Cadillac collector and a few muscle cars speaking of muscle cars don't you deal in muscle cars

[@christianbugatticg]

Hello!!! Oldsmobile is one of my favorites, as that what my dad would usually drive. And muscle cars.... I love them too!! However, I tend to buy cars that most people can afford. Many of my cars sell for mid teens to upper 20's. However I have had a few six figure cars. Muscle cars are just so expensive. Thanks!!

[@anthonylaspisa6992]

Yeah Christian you're right most like always out too expensive instead of curiosity if you don't mind me asking what all you trying to get for the Lincoln

[@anthonylaspisa6992]

Muscle cars lol

[@brianaugust1594]

Confirming what Cadillac Guy said below, Except I Believe the Diamond chip is a Cubic Zircona, splitting hairs I know. With way that is a Very We’ll Preserved Example👍🏆

Man,, how am I supposed to enjoy the clickity clack of that bushingless driver's door striker post when you start the video with the doors open ?? You're taking the joy out of it... lol

[@Barbarapape]

A near perfect Lincoln for someone. As said below the scratches in the wood and ding in the rear fender trim would annoy me. Finding replacements would be nigh on impossible. I hope it does well with the bidding.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks!! Well with the age of the car, there will be a small nick or pick here or there. This one is exceptional though I have to say!!

[@Barbarapape]

I am a perfectionist and those minor blemishes whilst expected on cars of this age would have to be seen to. The scratches in the wood are an easy fix, removing the ding in the trim would not be easy, why did they use trim that dents far to easily on an expensive car ?@@christianbugatticg

[@christianbugatticg]

Hey that is a good question. But if you whack any metal hard enough it will ding. @@Barbarapape

[@Barbarapape]

Very true, but the metal used in the 70's for car trim was very thin and dents easily. Unless you can find a new old stock replacement which may not match the original trim most times all you can do is try to improve the dent. The final result depends on the ease of access and the skill of the person doing the work.@@christianbugatticg

[@roberth9023]

how hard would it be to get that clock fixed

[@christianbugatticg]

Probably not terribly inexpensive, but I have a general rule...... two actually. IF it is going to take more than a couple weeks to get something back (unless it' crucial to the car's safety or operation) I leave it. And secondly, I an not about to tear a dash apart and risk breaking something, as that would be my luck!! lol

@@flunder50 survivorship bias on an extremely low mileage, clearly preserved model. Most of these Malaise Era junk-mobiles fell apart and hit the junkyard ages ago. Where they belonged. There’s no reason something high-quality built today won’t look the same in 40 years if it were stored in the same manner.
