1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V - metallic burgundy exterior - burgundy velour interior - 460 cu in (7.5 L) engine - approx. 37,000 original miles - I am the SECOND OWNER Car came from West Virginia. Was owned by elderly couple who drove to church and the grocery store once a week before illness led the car to sit in the garage for 10 years. I bought this car in the summer of 2005. The car received some TLC (tune-up, replaced brake lines, A/C charged, upholstery was steam cleaned, shocks replaced). All parts were purchased at A&D Motors in Strongsville, Ohio. and were original equipment manufactured unless not available. New custom dual exhaust installed by Mufflers4less Cleveland. Original records of service by previous owners is complete. Reason for sale is relocation. I love the car and hate to sell it. It drives like a dream & floats like a boat. Custom historical plates included. Although they're non-transferable, you could use them during car shows. Please contact me with any & all question you may have. note--- In 1978, the Ford 400 cu in (6.6 L) Ford 335 engine engine replaced the 460 Ford 385 engine V8 as standard equipment, the latter available as an option everywhere but in California. The 460 V8 option was deleted entirely for 1979. The Mark V was larger and more complex than its predecessor, coming just ten inches short of being 20 feet (6.1 m) long. The electrical system and mechanical componentry shared less in common with other Ford products, and was harder to service. The Lincoln Mark series is a series of personal luxury cars that have served as the flagship of the Ford Motor Company product line. The series started in 1956 as the newly-formed Continental Division introduced a successor to the original Lincoln Continental of 1940-1948. In 1958, the Mark series moved to Lincoln, where it was produced until 1960. In 1968, the Mark series was re-introduced as a personal luxury car, as the Lincoln Continental Mark III. In 1998, the discontinuation of the Mark VIII ended the series. The V8 version of the 2000 Lincoln LS was marketed as its replacement as the market for personal luxury coupes declined in the late 1990s. Today, the influence of the Mark Series remains in the current Lincoln naming scheme. All models introduced since 2007 have adopted an "MK" alphanumeric prefix; the lone exceptions are the Navigator and the Town Car.
