A true luxury classic that's also a complete survivor like this should not be this affordable. But as you look over every inch of this 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV, you'll be amazed at the level of preservation that has endured for 45 years. In fact, it's so nice, the only thing that won't last long on this coupe is its time in our showroom.Pastel Lime is a great color to represent a 1970s machine like this. But more than just the right color, you're going to be able to wow everyone with the condition of this paint that was applied over four decades ago at Lincoln's Michigan facility. This level of shine and luster is a sure sign of a lifetime of garage care. Even the luxury vinyl roof is complete and soft to the touch. So, the kind of luxury you expected from Lincoln in '72 remains today. But it's more than just color that makes it distinctive. This is a year for lovers of intricate design. The front has the Rolls-Royce style grille and 1970s chic flat front hidden headlights. This is accented by attractive parking light lenses that are miniature works of casting genius. Out back, the deck lid features the Continental's trademark spare tire hump/continental kit. And because it was built before new bumper laws, they fit flush with the body as an integral part of the design. It was all part of Lincoln's upper class image, so it's essential that it's all as crisp and pristine as you see on this example.Inside is even more survivor-grade luxury. We know you love how the interior green cloth and vinyl are the perfect match for the exterior vinyl roof. The pillow-top seats have that feeling of true cruising luxury, and you have the choice to seat six total, or fold down the front armrest to give you true individual luxury. As expected from a vehicle of this caliber, there are plenty of factory luxuries, including power seats, power locks, power windows, cruise control, and the stereo is still the correct factory 8-track unit. So just imagine how much survivor-minded judges will love this one (that's why it has already received an award from Hemmings!) There is even factory air conditioning. As you slip behind the wood and green steering wheel, you get the tingle to take this one out for a cruise. So while the coupe has only averaged around 1,500 miles annually over its lifetime, we know you won't be able to resist adding to that total.Ford's smooth and refined 460 cubic inch V8 with four-barrel carburetor provides effortless performance in the Continental. This was the beginning of the lower compression era, and since the motor is suspected to be original, that's a good thing. That means it's a survivor that's built to handle unleaded. Plus, the big V8 retains enough torque to pull a boat. Of course, you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this big bodied car, but it's this kind of available strength that allows you to smoothly and quickly cruise away from the stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the big blue Ford engine looks as factory-fresh as the exterior. While this is the perfect car for the drive-in (after all, its interior is more comfortable than any movie theater seat,) there's much more to the coupe. It has power steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission. This is the kind of luxury that can easily take you in comfort to car shows as far away as you want.Complete with the original warranty card, here's the kind of vintage luxury that you thought was impossible to find today.
