UPDATE: This Lincoln sold in its Bring a Trailer auction. It is heading to an automotive museum in Budapest, Hungary! Here is a link to the Bring a Trailer auction for this 1979 Lincoln: bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-lincoln-continental-mark-v-57/

This belongs in a museum with all the effort that must have gone into getting/keeping everything straight. Let's hope they give it a run out occasionally to keep in nice working order. Hope they also have the right climate/humidity controls.

Cant believe how clean this car is. Absolutely gorgeous, so classy.....great color and interior too. Certain color & wheel style combos look ugly on these older cars- this one is perfect. A dual exhaust would also be great. I LOVE the letter/font style on the dashboard, the P R N D and speedometer look so good. A real gem of a car. The lines/shape of the car look great, its aged very well. Timeless

I had a 1978 Mark V around 20 years ago. Not a "special edition". Medium metallic blue with a white top and mostly white interior. Beautiful car, but it didn't fit in my garage and got less than 8 mpg. As big as it was on the outside, it was amazingly small on the inside. As nice as it looked, it had problems, especially the Duraspark II ignition, which left me stranded a few times. I kept it for a little over a year and gave up.

7:11 This is what kids today don't understand about horsepower. It was the torque that mattered in everyday driving with these vehicles and they moved along just fine. The American manufacturers were actually brilliant in using the detuned, almost strangled, big V8s because you couldn't kill the torque numbers in them and they did the job with great smoothness too.
@foxxster3565Ай бұрын
Well they did kill the torque as well. Lower compression ratios to meet emission standards robs both power and torque.

Excellent demonstration of a beautifully maintained Mk V. Sadly, the Mk series (and FoMoCo at large) were well past their prime by this era. The 460 was gone, Lincoln was sharing the same dash/IP with Ford and Mercury, and the build quality and reliability of these were absolutely dreadful. Give me a '71 Mk III or '72 Mk IV and I'm *there* !
