Vehicle Detail
Rare 1978 Lincoln Mark V Designer Series Pucci Edition With NO RESERVE Rare Emilio Pucci edition with Black Cayman Landau Vinyl Roof (snakeskin pattern) and "astro-roof" moonroof. 67k original miles, 460 V8. Options include power moonroof, quarter windows that lower and raise before main window, working 8-track with CB (handset still plugs in and works), tilt steering wheel, remote trunk release and automatic dimming headlights. The Cartier clock and original AM/FM stereo still work. Here's a page describing the features of the 78 Pucci Edition: http://www.lincolnclub.eu/continental-mark-series/1977-1979-continental-mark-v/1978-continental-mark-v/pucci Mechanical: full tuneup and water pump, hoses, and KYB shocks all around (the expensive pressurized ones in the rear). The most expensive mechanical work I've done is install a new Edelbrock timing gear set with roller chain and "re-curving" the ignition with a set from Edelbrock. These improvements are the first things to do to improve power and fuel efficiency for the "smog" motors of the late 70's Ford 460 V8. I bought the Lincoln about two years ago and now selling due to financial constraints, over $8k invested. Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, gray leather with burgundy accents. Both driver and passenger seat motors work properly in all directions as well as window motors and headlight doors. The moonroof works perfectly, doesn't leak even in heavy rain and has the sliding shade that can be closed as well. Some small bubbling in the paint on the passenger front fender in front of the wheel well and on the passenger side front corner of the hood. New sheet metal put in behind front wheels by previous owner. The vinyl top is close to perfect, looks like new. The paint is original but still shines up well. Engine starts easily, cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road effortlessly with no wandering. Runs very strong and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an American luxury cruiser should, it handles well considering its size. All directional/brake/turn signal/headlights, wipers and cruise control all work. The title is in my name, VIN is 8Y89A955213 Nice classic Lincoln which will only appreciate in value!

Here are some pics, you can see what the underside and the bottoms of the doors looks like as well.
