Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V, which is equipped with a variety of power features, air conditioning, and a massive 460ci V8 mated to a Select-Shift three-speed automatic transmission. It’s finished in Cream with a Gold landau vinyl roof over a Gold and Cream Romano Velour cloth interior, and comes from the private seller in Washington with a clear title.
If this Lincoln’s nearly 20-foot length isn’t enough to get people’s attention, its color scheme of Cream with a Gold landau vinyl roof and Gold bodyside moldings definitely will. The other features, such as the chrome bumpers with guards, prominent grille, concealed headlights, front fender louvers, opera windows, and faux Continental kit, will keep eyes on this Mark V even longer.
Even the 15-inch forged aluminum wheels offer a little something extra to see because they’re wrapped in whitewalls.
The interior is equally colorful—no plain black vinyl here. Instead, there’s a generous amount of Gold and Cream Romano Velour cloth as well as some walnut woodgrain trim. There are plenty of conveniences too, such as power Twin Comfort Lounge front seats, power windows and locks, power steering (connected to a new steering box), cruise control, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/cassette radio.
Those features have been enjoyed sparingly over the past 48 years because the odometer on this car shows only 98,660 kilometers (61,304 miles), which is the true mileage, according to the seller.
Despite this car’s low mileage, it has received several mechanical updates. The reportedly original 460ci V8 was recently tuned up and equipped with a rebuilt four-barrel carburetor, plus a new voltage regulator. water pump, and alternator. There’s also a new speedometer cable, which is connected to a 180-km/h (~111-mph) speedometer (which explains the DSO [District Sales Office] code of A6, which corresponds to Ford of Canada’s Western district). The massive engine sends its power to the road through a Select-Shift three-speed automatic and a 2.75:1 Traction-Lok rear end. Power four-wheel disc brakes with new pads and hoses act as an anchor for this majestic land yacht.
