1977 Lincoln Continental MK V
This 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V was purchased new on October 29, 1976 from Santa Ana Lincoln-Mercury for a whopping $14,685. A local technical painting contractor was the buyer – and this car was used by their leisure suit wearing salesman to take clients to lunch and dinner back in the 3-martini-lunch era! The warranty owner card and vehicle service contract exist as documentation. The old registration slips show that in 1993 the car was transferred to the family owners of the painting company, who kept it in their personal collection until this year, when we purchased it from their estate.
It’s a solid, rust free California car, in its original color of white, and fabulous original interior and just passed the California Smog Check!
The Standard equipment list on these Mk V’s was impressive, including factory Air / Temp control, power steering, 4 wheel power disc brakes, concealed headlamps, driver 6 way power seat, 400 cubic inch V8, and much, much more.
The OPTIONS on this car are quite impressive too! The Moonroof was a $938 extra! It also has Tilt wheel, speed control, 6 way passenger seat, AM/FM/Quadrasonic tape player, Power doorlocks, and “Luxury Group Option” which had the 6 way power passenger seat, vinyl landau roof, and choice of interior, including the Cordovan/White leather that we see in the car today!
This Mk V runs great, it’s very quiet, smooth and comfortable and fun to drive. The moonroof is my favorite, it’s almost like having a convertible! And, if you don’t want the sun on your head, you can close the sunshade screen!
The interior is amazingly nice, all original and in great shape! The dash is totally crack-free, the steering wheel is beautiful, and the upholstery is in excellent shape, with only a little bit of age showing in the white sections of the front seats, you can see this in the photos. The wood trim is lustrous and vibrant, and the original carpeting is in excellent condition. There’s a little scuffing on the driver doorpanel, and the sunvisor lamp doors are broken.
The paint was redone at some point, in a high quality way with nice pinstriping. There is a scratch at the left front corner, and a smaller one on the right side front fender. It’s a California car since new, and stored indoors – SOLID! NO RUST! The chrome is in excellent shape too.
OPERATIONAL: The Car runs and drives nicely, the concealed headlamp doors work each time, the horn, wipers, turn signals, headlamps, tail lamps and brake lights all work properly. The power windows work great, the moonroof works great, and the driver’s seat power seat works, although the switch works funny. The gas gauge and warning lights work, the tilt wheel works, and the fabulous seat belt warning buzzer works too!

NON-OPERATIONAL: The A/C isn’t cold, the passenger 6 way seat doesn’t work, the Radio / tape player isn’t working, and the visor lamps / doors are broke, and the clock doesn’t work.
Overall it’s a huge amount of fun for a very reasonable price!
