Vehicle Description
With its opulent look, luxury features, A/C interior and correct
460 V8, this 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is true classic
luxury. And it even has a great story about a long-term ownership
and a bit of a celebrity past.
The distinct design of this machine gets heads turning. After all,
that hood is almost impossibly long, and it leads the way with
elegant touches like the hidden headlights and Rolls-Royce inspired
grille. The bumpers hug the form like proper chrome kings because
this was built before federal regulations. Plus, the full-length
pinstripe shows off the curves of the profile and the straightness
that the well-respected sheetmetal still holds today. The white
paint has a nice glow to it, and the coordinating cream vinyl roof
gives this a delicate sophistication. It's a true executive-level
package, and that's exactly who bought it. The story on this is
that it was purchased by Hayes Electronic Ignition and was even
used in their advertisements. And the family kept this car in their
care for the next 47 years. It's an extraordinary tale, and we even
have the original dealer invoice and Hayes advertisement to back it
up.
The ultra-low odometer reflects the actual mileage, and so you can
see great care and little use in the leather interior. The tobacco
brown looks fantastic with its plush pillow-top presentation. You
have the choice to seat six total, or fold down the front armrest
to give you true individual luxury. Your seat even power adjusts to
the ideal position. Plus, the wood-like trim on the dash adds to
the upper-class feeling. As expected from a vehicle of this
caliber, there are plenty of factory luxuries, including power
windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, and the factory AM/FM
stereo. Even the factory air conditioning is blowing nice and
cold.
Under the hood is the correct 460 cubic inch V8. It really has a
terrific look of originality right down to the bold blue paint and
factory decals. So it's easy to believe that this is the original
powerhouse. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this is a big
block that produces big torque. The V8 is still a strong runner
today, and the three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly.
So it means this vintage Lincoln remains a terrific boulevard
cruiser. And that's especially true thanks to features like power
steering, power brakes with discs up front, and modern Hankook
tires behind those classic stock wheel covers.
The sale comes with the dealer invoice, maintenance records, and
the full owner's manual packet. This is vintage luxury that has an
awesome preservation and a cool story to tell. That's what makes it
such an irresistible upper-class classic. Call today!!!
