Vehicle Detail
This is a Beautiful and Very Rare 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe. It is a very low mileage car with only 65,905 original miles. The Town Coupe is the rarest of all the Continentals and Town Cars. The Town Coupe was one of the biggest coupe ever produced in the world. At 233 inches long with a 127 inch wheel base it is the king of the road. The Town Coupe glides down the road with one of the smoothest rides ever produced. This car anywhere I take it people give it thumbs up and love to take pictures with it. Its from a different Era when America still knew how to build a beautiful luxury car. Now for this specific 1978 Continental Town Coupe I will try to describe it with the most detail I can. To begin with it only has 65,905 miles and was one owner for just about all its life. This beautiful Lincoln runs and drives great. I just had the brake line replaced the whole way running to the rear and the brake system flushed and bled. The brakes are firm and perfect now. The exhaust system was replaced a few years ago and is still like new on the car. The car starts up every time regardless if is it cold or hot. The car runs really smooth and does not overheat or smoke. This Town Coupe has the 6.6 liter V-8 engine. The car has been on the highway many times and will cruise at any speed with no issues at all. It also has no problems sitting in stop and go traffic. It is a great running classic Lincoln. The exterior on this Continental Town Coupe is a rare and beautiful burgundy metallic color. With a burgundy vinyl soft top in great shape. The paint does have some flaws as shown in the pictures. It is the original paint so in the past 36 years it has picked up some chips and nicks and a few spots of minor rust. I took pictures of everything that I noticed on the car. But overall the car is still very beautiful on the out side and these small blemishes could easily be touched up. The paint still shines great and has no fade. The soft top is not dried out nor is it faded or cracked it is in great shape and the paint on the metal half of the roof is flawless as well. With the exception of one spot on the rear bumper all the chrome and bright work is shiny and in great shape. The underside of the car is solid and no rot at all. All the glass is clear and not milky cracked or chipped. It has the original hubcaps and they are in perfect shape as well. The interior is simply flawless and beautiful. It is all original and a beautiful red color and still bright and vibrant. The seats are velour with the pillow top style. They have the original Lincoln embroidery in the seats and it looks beautiful. There are no tears, stains or wear on any of the seats. The carpet is not worn and it is not stained. The dash has no cracks at all and all the interior trim is perfect too. Everything and I mean everything works as it should. The original radio, power antenna, lights, power seats, cruise control, gauges and wipers all work great. This is such a beautiful and rare classic Lincoln that I hate to sell it but I have to shirk my collection and I simply can not keep this beautiful car. I have tried to describe everything in as much detail as I can. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Also, the car does have a clean and clear title.
