Offered here in a NO RESERVE auction is a 1979 Bill Blass edition Lincoln Mark V. I have owned this beautiful automobile for over 10 years. During that time the car has been dependable and well cared for. The 400cu. V8 engine runs strong. Transmission shifts smoothly. Body work is pretty much done. Last Spring before I moved from VA to NC I had Chester, the mechanic who has worked on my car since I purchased it, go over the car thoroughly and repair or replace anything he found that needed attention. As the result of that inspection he installed a new gas tank (picture provided), replaced the fuel lines and installed a new gas float in the tank. He replaced the solenoid, a few turn signal bulbs, two of the rear tail light sockets and recharged the AC, which has been converted to the new refrigerant. In response to a question posed to me regarding the brakes and last tuneup, I contacted Chester and asked him if a complete tuneup was among the work he performed at that time. He advised me it was. As for the brakes, they are fine. Car body is straight. Body side moldings are in remarkable condition. These are usually dinged to death on most cars from this era, especially around the wheel wells. Not so here. Beautiful chrome overall. One exception is the passenger side mirror. Chrome on that mirror is fair at best. Car has upgraded Collector Series Ebony wood interior. RARE WORKING AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO. Power windows, antenna, and trunk release work. AC blows COLD. Leather interior is in great shape for its age, as is the carpeting. Coveted driver side thermometer mirror works! Is illuminated at night. Last year I moved to a lakefront home so this year I am selling my land yacht so I can buy a real boat. Features that don't work. Power door locks. I replaced the actuators a few years back so its probably the switches on the door panel. Power seats have limited adjustment. Speed control worked until I replaced the steering wheel with one from a Collector Series car. So again, its probably just the switch in the steering wheel pad. This is a used, 35 year old automobile, and as such does not have a warranty. There are typical age related imperfections inside and out. There is a small tear in the headliner above the driver side sun visor. The fiberglass fascia beneath the driver side headlamp cover is cracked. This damage was done by the mechanic shop that rebuilt the carburetor some years back. I have a complete new fascia in white that will come with the car if you want it. Pictures of these imperfections have been provided for you to review. I also have the rocker panel moldings that were removed when the body work was done. They are in fair shape and will be included. The canvas top has been replaced and looks beautiful. But car must now be hand-washed. Do not run it through a high pressure car wash. While the car is weathertight and will not leak even in a torrential rain, a commercial high pressure wash will cause water to penetrate the door windows at their top edges. I have tried to cover all possible questions about the car. If you have a question please contact me. I have a clear NC title on hand. TERMS OF SALE.
