Two-Owner 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced during an era of tightening emissions regulations and rising fuel concerns, the 1977-79 Lincoln Continental Mark V nonetheless emphasized comfort, style, and prestige over restraint. Built on Ford’s full-size platform, it was among the largest two-door coupes ever produced, featuring dramatic “opera windows,” a long hood, and a formal roofline inspired by classic luxury cars.

Buyers could choose refined V8 power, richly trimmed interiors, and an array of designer editions, which reinforced its image as a status symbol. Despite its size, the Mark V offered a smooth, quiet ride that appealed to buyers seeking elegance rather than performance.

Sold new at Strieter Motor Company of Davenport, Iowa, this Mark V stayed with its original owner for nearly 50 years before being acquired by its current owner in 2025.

The car is finished in White paint with contrasting Dark Cordovan (burgundy) pinstripes and vinyl roof. Power comes from Lincoln’s 460ci V8 paired with a C6 automatic transmission. The Continental also features hydraulic headlight covers, Comfort Lounge seats with Dark Cordovan leather upholstery, air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with front and rear speakers, Cartier clock, and power steering, brakes, windows, locks, mirrors, and adjustable driver’s seat. The car also has an aftermarket oil pressure gauge mounted on the steering column.

The two-owner 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V is now represented by the seller in Michigan on behalf of its current owner with a window sticker, sales and service documentation, owner’s manual, and a clean Oklahoma title in the current owner's name.
