1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

Description

All the great big personality of the 1970s without the drab earthtone color pallet. This 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is a cery low mileage time capsule that you can pick up for less than just about any other example of classic luxury around. And they dont last in our showroom!

The Continental has always been a great American luxury car with big block power and a TON of vintage sheetmetal. The gothic Mark IV was longer, wider, and lower than the Mark III and delivered what was arguably the best combination of full-sized luxury and muscular performance. This coupe has been kept in a pristine preserved state for four decades. The Dove Gray finish is glossy and rich, and it shines nearly like white. It's the perfect backdrop for the razor-sharp fender creases and plentiful chrome accents. The front has the Rolls-Royce style grille and 1970s chic flat front hidden headlights. This is accented by attractive parking light lenses that are miniature works of casting genius. Out back, the deck lid features the Continental's trademark spare tire hump/continental kit. There's also the matching gray vinyl roof in good condition. But take a closer look, and you can tell this beauty is of the rare first-year Cartier Edition's. The original red and white pinstriping as well as the Cartier signature in the oval opera windows help give it away.

Also, the acres of gray leather interior, another telltale sign of the Cartier Edition for 1976, still looks disco fresh. The interior is large enough to comfortably seat six people, or both rows can fold down the armrests for four independent luxury capsules. As expected with a true luxury cruiser, this one comes with power everything - power windows, power door locks, power front seats, and even a power sunroof. Other modern luxury features in this classic include cruise control, AM/FM radio, and air conditioning. Of course, with a Cartier Edition Mark IV also comes a genuine Cartier clock.

Ford's smooth and refined 460 cubic-inch V8 provides effortless performance in the Continental, and with only 25,000 original miles, you wont find one nicer. It has decent horsepower, but the real story is the torque that's enough to pull a boat. Of course you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this land-yacht, but it's this kind of available strength that allow you to smoothly and quickly cruise away from the stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the big blue Ford engine looks as factory-fresh as the exterior of this coupe. While this is the perfect car for the drive-in (after all, it's more comfortable than any movie theater seat), there's much more to this Mark IV. It's got power steering, power brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission. The final drive ratio is a highway-friendly 2.73. This means you can ride in comfort to car shows as far away as you want.

This Continental Mark IV has all the great stuff you love about the 70s without having to give up modern comfort. They don't come more original than this one, and yet this luxury is exceptionally affordable. Call now!!!
