Description
This 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is a striking Lipstick Luxury Group example finished in vibrant Lipstick Red (paint code 2U) with white pinstripes and a matching white vinyl roof, creating one of the boldest and most eye-catching color combinations of the mid-1970s personal-luxury era. Signature features include hidden headlights, opera windows, power-operated sunroof, cornering lights, dual exhaust outlets, remote-adjustable side mirrors, power-telescoping antenna, and 15-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in 235/75 Hankook Optimo H724 thin-whitewall tires. Power-assisted disc brakes on all four corners and variable-ratio power steering make this large coupe surprisingly manageable despite its size.
The 460ci V8 with four-barrel carburetor produces 202 hp, delivering smooth, torquey performance ideal for effortless cruising. The C-6 three-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels via a 2.75:1 axle ratio, prioritizing quiet refinement, comfort, and long-distance relaxation over sporty handling. With only 13000 miles showing (described as actual/original, with minimal dealer-added miles), the drivetrain remains in excellent preserved condition.
The luxurious interior features white leather upholstery with Lipstick Red accents on power-adjustable front seats, a full rear bench, deep-pile carpeting, automatic climate control, cruise control (integrated into the multifunction steering wheel), Quadrasonic AM/FM stereo, power windows and locks, and anti-fog glass. The dashboard includes a 120-mph speedometer and central fuel gauge; note the non-functional clock as a minor age-related item. The spacious cabin offers vast legroom, premium materials, and impressive preservation consistent with low mileage.
A rare and well-preserved survivor of the Lipstick Luxury Group, complete with original documentation (owner’s manual, build sheet, sales brochure, salesman’s booklet) and a clean Wisconsin title. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2025, this Mark IV stands out for its vibrant factory color scheme, extensive luxury options, ultra-low mileage, and strong collectible appeal as a charismatic representative of peak 1970s American personal luxury — ideal for enthusiasts seeking bold style, effortless driving, and historical significance without heavy restoration needs.
