1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V

Description

Combining unmistakable late-‘70s styling with traditional luxury, the Lincoln Mark V features dramatic slab-sided bodywork, concealed headlamps, signature opera windows, and a formal roofline. Inside, occupants were treated to a spacious, comfort-oriented cabin trimmed with premium materials and equipped with the amenities expected of a land-yacht flagship.

Powered by a 400cio V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, this triple-turquoise 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V is finished in Medium Turquoise Metallic with a matching landau roof over Turquoise velour upholstery. The car is further equipped with wood veneer interior accents, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, and power accessories.

Notable modifications include 15-inch Vision wheels, LED headlights, a JVC CD player stereo, and trunk-mounted subwoofer.

This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V is now offered with factory literature and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.
