1980 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK VI HERE IS AN EXTREMELY CLEAN, ORIGINAL FIRST PRODUCTION YEAR MARK VI THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN! NOT SURE IF YOU COULD CALL THIS BEAUTY A RARE BARN FINDOR GOLF RESORT FIND! I LOVE THE MARK SERIES AUTOMOBILES AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL LOW MILEPRISTINE MARK V LINCOLNS. I HAPPENED TO STUMBLE ACROSS THIS TRIPLE WHITE STUNNER AT A LOCAL ESTATE SALE. FRANKLY, THIS IS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITYI HAVE EVER TAKEN TO ACTUALLY DRIVE A LINCOLN MARK VI. I HAVE COME TO TRULY MARVEL AT WHAT AN INCREDIBLE COACH THESE LINCOLNS ARE. LEXUS MUST HAVE REVERSED ENGINEERED THESE CARS TO FIGURE OUT JUST HOW LINCOLN CREATED SUCH A QUITE AUTOMOBILE! THIS MUST BE WHAT A WHISPER RIDE IS ALL ABOUT BECAUSE YOU CAN LITERALLY WHISPERAND YOUR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT CAN HEAR EVERY WORD! THE RIDE OF THIS EDITION MARK VI HAS TO BE EXPERIENCED! IT IS SMOOTH BUT SURE FOOTED. THE STEERING IS TIGHTAND THE CAR DOESN'T WONDER. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR THAT ABSORBS ALL THE CRACKS ON CITY STREETSOR HIGHWAYS WITHOUT BOUNCING!!! SOMEHOW, LINCOLN CREATED A "SMALLER" MARK SERIES AUTOMOBILEWITHOUT LOSING THEIR PATENTED LINCOLN CONTINENTAL RIDE. TIRES AND BRAKES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL THE INTERIOR APPOINTMENTS ARE PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR. THE WHITE LEATHER SEATS ARE ALL SOFT WITH NO CRACKS. EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT SEATS DO SHOW MORE WEAR THEN THE REAR SEATS, THEY ARE IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. THE DEEP PILE CARPET IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THE AREAS OVER THE DRIVE LINE HUMP DO SHOW SOME SLIGHT FADING. ALL THE SWITCHES ARE PERFECTLY CLEAN AND FUNCTION SMOOTHLY. ALL THE MECHANICAL OPTIONS (WINDOWS, SEATS, ANTENNA, RADIO, LIGHTS, MIRRORS, HEADLIGHTS DELAY, ETC.) ALL WORK SMOOTHLY AND QUIETLY! THE DOOR LOCKS AND TRUNK LOCK WORK FINE FROM THE DOORS OR THE KEYPAD ON THE OUTSIDE DRIVER DOOR. EVEN THE KEYHOLES LIGHT UP AS THEY SHOULD AS WELL AS THE OPERA LIGHTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ON THE "B" PILLARS. THE ONLY OPTION THAT ACTS UP IS WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS NEED TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. EVERYTHING UNLOCKSFLAWLESSLY, BUT SOMETIMES WILL NOT RE-LOCK. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND DIGITAL READOUT ARE BRIGHT AND ACCURATE .... EVEN THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE MILES TO EMPTY WORK PERFECTLY! THE BLUE MARK VI LOGO ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX IN THE WOOD PANEL LIGHTS UP CLEARLY AT NIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON! AND OF COURSE, BOTH SUN VISOR MIRROR LIGHTS WORK AS WELL. EVEN THE FACTORY AMPLIFIER IN THE RADIO WORKS! THE ENGINE IS THE 5.8L AND IT RUNS EXTREMELY SMOOTH AND QUIET. I WISH MY MARK V LINCOLNS COULD HAVE BEEN THIS QUIET. THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND NO DIFFERED MAINTENANCE AT THIS TIME. THE 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD. I CANNOT OVERSTATE JUST HOW DIALED IN THIS DRIVE LINE FUNCTIONS. THERE ARE NO WEIRD SOUNDS COMING FROM ANYWHERE. EVEN WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING KICKS ON TO FILL THE CABIN WITH COOL AIR, YOU CANNOT TELL THE COMPRESSOR JUST CAME TO LIFE! AS YOU CAN SEE BY MY PHOTOS THE EXTERIOR IS ALL THERE AND IN FANTASTIC SHAPE. I SHOT THESE PICTURES MYSELF ON DECEMBER 11TH, 2011. YEP, JUST THREE WEEKS AGO. THE ORIGINAL VINYL TOP IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ALL THE TRIM PIECES ARE PRESENT AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE RIMS DO NOT SHOW ANY STAINS WHAT SO EVER! ALL THE LIGHTS WORK, EVEN THE ULTRA RARE OPTIONED DRIVING LIGHTS ON THE HEADLIGHT DOORS! ALL THE AMBER AND RED LIGHTS ARE FRESH AND CLEAR, NO CRACKS. EVEN THE LITTLE RED LINCOLN EMBLEM ON THE GRILL IS CRISP, VIBRANT AND CLEAN! IT IS CLEARLY OBVIOUS, THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE DAY ONE! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE IS NO RUST .... THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR! THIS CAR WAS A "SUNDAY" CAR FOR THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAINED BY THEIR LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER. EVEN THOUGH WITH JUST 67,000 ORIGINAL MILES IT WASN'T THEIR DAILY DRIVER, IT WAS ALWAYS READY FOR ACTION! WHEN I GOT IT, THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT JUST NEEDED A FEW LITTLE THINGS, SOME GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND A PROFESSIONAL DETAIL TO BRING OUT IT'S OBVIOUS POTENTIAL! THIS MARK VI IS TOTALLY ROAD WORTHY AND CAN CERTAINLY BE DRIVEN TO THE EAST COAST AND BACK (WEATHER PERMITTING). PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A VERY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A LUXURY CLASS AUTOMOBILE FROM AN ERA GONE BY, IT DOES HAVE 67,480 MILES ON HER. THERE ARE SOME MINOR ROCK CHIPS UP FRONT AS TO BE EXPECTED AND A FEW, TYPICAL LITTLE THINGS BUT NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM IT'S GORGEOUS TRIPLE WHITE APPEARANCE. THIS MARK VI IS TRULY A JAW DROPPING DRIVER. ONE SPIN AROUND THE RESORT WILL TELL YOU IT IS ALL LINCOLN MEANT FOR THESE CARS TO BE! YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER YOURSELF IN 1980! ON YOUR FIRST DRIVE, YOU SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF LAUGHING IN DISBELIEF! IF YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS, THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA TITLE FROM 1980 AND THE CAR COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL BLUE CALIFORNIAPLATES. FOR CALIFORNIA BUYERS, THE CAR WILL COME WITH A CURRENT SMOG CERTIFICATE. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO VIEW AND TEST DRIVE THE CAR, HAVE IT INSPECTED BY A LOCAL FORD DEALER OF YOUR CHOICE (AT YOUR EXPENSE) IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE AREA, OR WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I AM A PRIVATE PARTY AND AS SUCH THIS CAR DOES NOT COME WITH ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED NOR IMPLIED. THIS IS AN AS-IS, WHERE-IS SALE. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT CAN BE SENT VIA PAYPAL. THE REMAINDER OF THE BALANCE WILL NEED TO BE CASH, CHECK FROM BANK OF AMERICA OR CHASE BANK, WIRE, OR DIRECT DEPOSIT IF WE HAPPEN TO HAVE THE SAME BANK. POSTAL MONEY ORDERS ARE OK AS WELL. CAR WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL ALL FUNDS HAVE CLEARED. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING. THIS PURCHASE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!
