1978 LINCOLN MARK V DIAMOND JUBILEECOLLECTOR EDITION.

RARE! BEAUTIFUL, ORIGINAL, LOW MILE, COLLECTOR LINCOLN. 460 4BBL V-8. GARAGE KEPT, 1 OWNER CAR (UNTILDECEMBER 2015WHEN I PURCHASED IT).

NEW VOGUE TIRES, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS (FRONT & REAR), 1 CALIPER, EGR VALVE, BATTERY & FULL FRONT TO REAR DUAL EXHAUST (TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL SINGLE STYLE EXHAUST).

I PURCHASED THIS BEAUTY LAST DECEMBER FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S SON.HIS PARENTSPURCHASED ITNEW IN JANUARY OF 1979. I MADE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL TITLE BEFORE TRANSFERING IT INTO MY NAME. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS STOREDAT THEIR SUMMER/VACATION HOME. WHICH WAS ABOUT 200 MILES FROM THEIR HOUSE. NEVER DRIVEN IN THE WINTERS.GARAGED MOST OF IT'S LIFE.BARELY USED UNTIL THEIR RETIREMENT IN 1996. WHICH WAS WHEN THEY MOVED TO THEIR RETIREMENT HOME & STARTED USING THE CAR MORE OFTEN. HE TOLD ME THAT THE 11K MILES WERE ORIGINAL. BUT DID NOT HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE IT (So I figure it's probably 111k miles).HE SAID THE MAJORITYOF THE MILES WERE PUT ON BETWEEN1996 & 2004.LAST REGISTERED IN 2007 PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE.

WHEN I BOUGHTTHE CAR.IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, EGR VALVE, THE TIRES HAD FLAT SPOTS FROM SITTING & THE EXHAUST HAD PIN HOLES & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (AS MENTIONED EARLIER.. IHAD ALL OF THIS DONE). ALSO HAD NEW SPARK PLUGS AND AN OIL CHANGE DONE. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. IT FEELS LIKE A BOAT GOING DOWN THE ROAD.THE LAST YEAR OF THE 460 BIG BLOCK IN THE MARK SERIES! ENGINE RUNS STRONG! TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTH! I'VE PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT.

THE BODY AND PAINTARE VERY NICE. STRAIGHT & SOLID. IT STILL HAS THE FACTORY PAINTED PINSTRIPES & INTIALED EMBLEMS ON EACH DOOR. I HAD A COUPLE OF SMALL AREAS OF SURFACE RUST REPAIRED IN THE LOWER 1/4's. IT WAS VERY MINOR & UNDER THE LOWER MOLDINGS. IT CAME OUT VERY NICE. THERE IS SOME MINOR FADING ON THE HOOD & DECK LID. FLOORS & FRAME ARE ROCK SOLID. ALL CHROME AND MOLDINGS ARE EXCELLENT DRIVER QUALITY.

THE INTERIOR IS BEAUTIFUL. NO RIPS OR TEARS. THIS CAR WAS VERY WELL CARED FOR!

MINOR THINGS THAT THE NEW OWNER MAY WANT TO ADDRESS:

1) PASSENEGER POWER SEAT ENGAGES WHEN THE FWD/BACK SWITCH IS USED. BUT DOES NOT MOVE. HOWEVER THE POWER TILT DOES WORK.

2) POWER ANTENNA WILL MOVE DOWN BUT NOT UP. I'M GUESSING IT'S THE SWITCH.

3) A/C BLOWS COLD. BUT HAS AMINOR FREON LEAK IN A/C HOSEBY COMPRESSOR THAT HAS BEEN PATCHED.A/CHAS BEEN CONVERTED TO R-134.

4) POWER SUNROOF DOES NOT WORK. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS THE MOTOR OR SWITCH.

***When making an offer. Please keep in mind that the car is already priced reasonably with these things in mind.***

NADA HIGH RETAIL VALUE FOR A DIAMOND JUBILEE IS ALMOST $35K. AVERAGE RETAIL VALUE IS OVER $21K. SO I'VE PRICED IT VERY FAIR TO SELL. I JUST HAVE TOO MANY CARS (8)& NOT ENOUGH SPACE OR TIME FOR ALL OF THEM. SO SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET A GREAT DEAL ON A BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND JUBILEE! **Plus it's a great investment. These cars are steadily increasing in value.**

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY PLEASE!

***Please ask all questions prior to making an offer. All serious, reasonable offers will be considered. Low ball offers will not!***

PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO BELOW. THE MICROPHONE ON MY CAMERA/VIDEO RECORDER IS VERY SENSITIVE. SO THE CAR MAY SEEM A BIT LOUDER THAN IT REALLY IS (The exhaust sound very nice it's not that loud).

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY LISTING.
