This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collector Series is an incredibly well-preserved, low-mileage example of luxury automotive history. Showing just 29,554 original miles, this special edition Lincoln is an absolute time capsule. Manufactured by Ford Motor Company in January 1979 (01-79), this vehicle was configured as a top-of-the-line Passenger Coupe (65D) and stands as a remarkably complete survivor from the pinnacle of late-70s American luxury.

Body, Paint & Structural Condition

The structural integrity of this massive American cruiser is spectacular. There is absolutely no structural rust or sign of body filler anywhere that we can detect on the vehicle, and the underbody remains remarkably clean. Our digital paint gauge confirms that the deep Midnight Blue Metallic finish is entirely original factory paint. Because it is the original finish from 1979, it exhibits some completely honest, minor character blemishes, including standard road rock chips, areas of light factory paint checking, and a couple of spots near the trunk lid where the clear coat has baked out and become dull over time. The matching Valino grain vinyl roof remains beautifully preserved. The car sits straight, retains excellent glass and brightwork, and rides on tires that remain in good shape.

Modern Performance Upgrade & Mechanicals

While the engine bay houses the car's original, numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8 engine, it has been modernly enhanced for maximum turn-key reliability. The restrictive factory carburetor setup has been upgraded with a self-tuning Holley Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system. The Sniper system is fully adjustable via its handheld controller, allowing the car to fire up with total ease, warm up instantly, and run beautifully with modern drivability. Power is sent cleanly through the robust C6 automatic transmission, which shifts exactly as it should. Out on the open road, this Mark V delivers a cloud-like ride, tracking smoothly, cornering evenly, and coming to a stop nice and straight. Please note that while the factory air conditioning system is fully intact and operational, it is currently not blowing cold.

Interior Luxury & Functionality

The Midnight Blue luxury cabin is in amazing condition throughout--presenting even nicer than the low mileage would suggest. The plush seating surfaces, door panels, headliner, and deep-pile carpeting show virtually zero wear. The interior is completely smoke-free with no unwanted smells or signs of past smoking inside. All power accessories function exactly as originally intended, including the power windows, power seats, gauges, and factory electronics. This rare Collector Series is a turn-key, heavily optioned cruiser that is fully dialed in for the street or the local show circuit.
