CAR DESCRIPTION:1979 Lincoln Mark V Cartier Edition.P/Windows, P/Door Locks, A/C, 2-Tone Leather Seats, Trunk that fits at least 4 bodies! I am the 3rd registered owner, the car history is as follows:Car was purchased a few years ago as a present to my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary (because when we dated, I owned this car).

I am running out of space and need to sell this car. My loss is your gain. I am a serious car collector with over a dozen collectable cars so I must sacrifice this car.

Info on car courtesy of Wikipedia:The behemoth Lincoln Continental Mark V was sold for only three model years: 1977 to 1979. The last of the true highway cruisers, it replaced the Mark IV's more rounded styling with a more sharp-edged look that was then fashionable. Once again, its size increased both in length and width. It no longer shared its platform with the Ford Thunderbird (which was downsized by shifting its nameplate to the smaller Mercury Cougar/Ford LTD II platform.) In 1978, the Ford 400 in (6.6 L) small-block engine replaced the 460 in as standard equipment, the latter available as an option everywhere but in California. The 460 in option was deleted entirely for 1979. Lincoln, with the Mark V and Continental, held out for the giant American car longer than anyone else, but after 1979 it would not be possible. Ford came dangerously close to violating the Corporate Average Fuel Economy laws that year, and subsequent models would be substantially smaller. This Mark, which was an updated version of the '72–'76 model, was completely restyled; and to some degree re-engineered. The soft, rounded look of the '72 car was replaced with razor sharp lines. The vinyl top, the opera windows, the spring-loaded hood ornament, the vertical radiator grille, and large whitewall tires were all part of the package. Interior design remained similar to the Mark IV, with variants in the seat patterns and dashboard trim (while retaining the general dashboard layout of the IV) being the primary differences. The Mark V was larger and more complex than its predecessor, coming just ten inches short of being 20 feet (6.1 m) long, yet, surprisingly nimble for a car of such gargantuan proportions. The electrical system and mechanical componentry shared less in common with other Ford products, and was harder to service than the corresponding equipment on the Mark IV. The designer editions were offered for the coupe model only. These designers included Bill Blass, Cartier, Emilio Pucci, and Givenchy. Each designer edition carried exclusive exterior and interior color combinations as well as more optional equipment over the standard model. I will use an escrow account for payment and/or cashiers check, cash. All checks or escrow must clear first before releasing car. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. _gsrx_vers_334 (GS 5.4.3 (334))
