This is the rare Lipstick Edition Luxury Group design model of the 1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV. We have been told by a top sales agent and former president of a Lincoln club that it was designed by the famous 1970s makeup artist Max Factor but not part of the desiner series. Do not know how true that is as there is little info on how they came up with these particular Luxury Group design options. What I do know is it is a beautiful design. One of their best in my opinion. This car was left to me by my awesome mom who died from breast cancer. She got it because I had a 1983 Mark 5 in mint shape and I was doing car shows. She couldn't do very much because of the cancer but she could sit at car shows and talk to people and be with me.
It's in great cosmetic shape and mechanical shape.
The leather interior is beautiful, the dash is like new. This has been garage kept all its life. Has been a head turner at many car shows. Many people stop to take pictures with it. And it's always fun hearing people's stories about Lincolns that their parents or grandparents had. Drives like a dream and floats on the road! Steering is still very tight and she starts every time! I am selling it because I need a medical procedure and I have no other way to pay for my portion of it after insurance. Really don't want to let it go but, I don't i have no choice at this point. I am so disabled from a motorcycle accident and I don't drive her as much as she should be driven. Not driving or starting her up is death to a car and I would hate to see that happen to this rare beauty. She needs a home with someone that can take care of her right.
Pros:
All leather 2 tone interior
Am/fm 8 track player
Extra portable 8 track player w/ cases of 8 tracks
460 engine
Automatic trans
Power everything
Rare disk hubcaps
Rust free straight body
Nice chrome
Runs drives great
Original spare tire and tools in fully carpeted trunk
Cons:
Could use new fuel pump and battery (though I will be getting a new battery soon) Small crack in rear corner of vinyl roof (fixable according to a local shop that does interior and roof. He said it's a pretty easy fix. If your local I will gladly give you his number). Needs a new AC belt. Last owner said that it gives it more horse power so he removed it. Don't know if that is really true but I have heard that. Anywho, that's it for Con. If you want to see her before the auction ends please contact me and we can make arrangements to view and test. Thanks and many blessings to you!
