Thank you for looking at my offering - Up for your consideration is can absolutely beautiful, well taken care of, garaged 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV.
THIS IS A 100% TURN KEY CAR NEEDING NOTHING BUT A GREAT FAMILY TO ENJOY!
I purchased this car from the second family that owned it. They owned the car for 10 years before I purchased it. The man I purchased it from was 72 years old, and an avid car guy who took wonderful care of this gorgeous car. The car hales out of Pennsylvania, from the original owners.
Guys, you know the feeling when you go to look at a car, you know within seconds that you are going to buy it - thats what happened to me when I pulled up! This is an extremely well cared for, properly maintained car and everything works. The body is gorgeous and rust free with no accidents or damage. There have been some minor paint touchup to cover some scratches over its valiant 40 year history, but I am confident we all can stomach that quite easily.
All gauges work fine, the seats are extremely comfortable (Its like sitting in your home recliner) and the leg room in all areas is just simply amazing.
The Driving Experience:The car starts without any trouble, no squeaks, noises or extensive pumping of the gas. Extremely quiet and it is luxury at its best. One can feel the power behind that 460V8, it easily handles the sheer size and weight of this car with ease. You can feel very confident of your safety and comfort whether its a day trip or driving coast to coast. The car is that well maintained!It drives beautifully at 85 miles an hour with no rattles, shakes issues. It also brakes perfectly and does not pull to either side. The previous owner did have the brakes recently serviced. The previous owner was very big on preventive maintenance; which in turn will benefit the new owner of this car.The tires are new and really enhance the smooth ride and driving experience! Plenty of tread left for miles of enjoyment; and no additional expense in terms of replacement need.
Exterior:Let the pictures speak for themselves! The car has a few touchup spots but nothing to be concerned about, looks like rock chips but no glaring repairs or rot. There are no evidence of accidents, rust or rot on this car. It looks just as good underneath as it does standing right in front of it. If you look at the trunk, the quarter panels on the inside are perfect. I took a picture of the left and right side of the car - there are no waves, creases scratches or rust. You can drive this vintage beauty to a car show or family gathering and the looks and compliments are great. The prior owner won a trophy for a show he entered, that will go with the new owner!All lights, directional signals, courtesy lights work as they should. Its very cool when the lights go on, the covers flip open. I don't think we will ever see this feature again in the car industry!The vinyl top is beautiful and the molding has inlaid vinyl and not a scratch, mar or issue! The brightwork on the bumpers and chrome rims are simply amazing - no curb rash, pitting or scratches.
Interior:The seats are flawless, leather and are power adjustable; ladies and gentleman this is a road car! They are original, no tares, beautiful condition with barely any ware. The door panels are gorgeous. The only flaw I see in the whole car are the leather pull handles on the driver and passenger door, have some cracks. They are fully functional, but that is about the only issue I see. The arm rests are very comfortable. Heck all you need is a remote and a TV and you are set!The dashboard is perfect, no discoloration, cracks or blemishes. The gauges are clear, no fading scratches or cracks. Literally, this looks brand new. The car was garaged, maintained and not abused at all.The windows are electric, they go up and down without delay and the seals are proper. They are not dried out, cracked or misaligned. The glass is original to the car, never replaced, no scratches or blemishes or fading.The heat works as it should as well as the defroster. Another wonderful feature? The air conditioner was converted and works beautifully! So if you live down south or the summers up here in the north east, you can look cool and be cool as your drive around enjoying the day! The car is a non smoker car, no odors or damp smells. The trunk retains its original carpet and it is dry! The spare is there, according to the gentleman I bought it from, he said it was never used! Me personally, I have not even taken the cover off to inspect. I will tell you the factory jack looks like it was never removed when the guys at the plant installed it!The radio is factory, it has an 8 track player (Does anyone know what that is?:) ) and it all works perfectly. Nothing aftermarket in this car at all. Bone stock.It has a fully functional and desirable factory sunroof - it works perfectly and is tinted. This is one of the best features of this American treasure! It opens and closes as it should.The doors do not sag or are misaligned; you close and open them with ease!
Mechanically:Take a look at the engine, its factory and all of the components are in position as they should. The smog equipment is still in place and connected. The battery is relatively new, plenty of electricity to run this car on long trips! The transmission shifts flawlessly through all gears no slipping or hesitation. The steering is superb! The car has a new pump and hoses. I did ask the gentleman why was it changed, he said, it started to make noise, and he was not having any of that! He told me, he had the brakes done and the power steering done to make sure he could drive it whenever he wanted to with confidence. He sold me on that, as I could tell it was a great car from the onset. The front end is properly greased and no uneven wear on the tires. As big as the car is, it is great on gas and uses regular unleaded fuel!The car is being tuned up presently, and ensuring all fluids are changed so as to keep up with the maintenance.I just had the carburetor rebuilt for improved performance. One of the nicest cars I have had the privilege of owning!
This car is for sale as is / where is with no warranties expressed or implied. I have described this car to the best of my ability and am confident the new owner will be extremely happy with the condition and its reliability. As I mentioned, this is a turn key car and can be driven coast to coast right now.
