Description
This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collector’s Series is finished in Midnight Blue Moondust Metallic with matching Midnight Blue landau vinyl roof, featuring a power-operated glass sunroof, gold-finished grille, concealed headlights, opera windows, functional fender vents, illuminated side-mirror thermometer, bumper impact strips, simulated spare-tire hump, and 15″ turbine-style cast aluminum wheels with 235/75 Firestone thin-whitewall tires — a limited-edition finale model celebrating the Mark V’s end with unique badging and trim. Power steering and four-wheel disc brakes provide manageable control; paint shows minor chips, power antenna inoperable, but overall low-mileage preservation is strong.
The 400ci V8 (159 hp) with two-barrel carburetor delivers smooth, torquey cruising power through three-speed automatic and optional Traction-Lok differential to rear wheels. Oil changed September 2025; drivetrain reliable with mileage shown.
Midnight Blue velour trims power-adjustable Comfort Lounge front seats and rear bench, with woodgrain accents, automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows/locks, AM/FM eight-track stereo, Cartier clock, digital miles-to-empty display, and tilt steering column. Spacious cabin is well-preserved as a near time-capsule.
Ultra-low-mileage Collector’s Series survivor with window sticker, Deluxe Marti Report (build date September 26, 1978), owner’s manuals, garage door opener, and clean Missouri title. Acquired by dealer in 2025; excellent example of late-1970s American personal luxury — rare, comfortable, and ideal for collectors valuing originality, grandeur, and effortless drivability.
