Description:

NO RESERVE - Lincoln Mark V, Black
Leather, Moonroof, Professional Air Ride System

1979 Mark V, 65k, 400 V8, rare black leather interior. Every option available for the Mark V is on this car, including power quarter windows, dual power split bench seats, miles to empty digital readout, digital am/fm 8-track stereo (almost $500 option in 1979), tilt steering wheel, power antenna, power trunk release and the tinted glass moonroof with sliding privacy shade. Custom stereo under dash with DVD screen on passenger dash. Two separate pumps, three trunk mounted, isolated and equally charged batteries and four independent switches, one for each wheel. The hydraulics work smooth and responsive. The car can can easily be raised to regular height and driven normally, with nice tight handling due to the high end air suspension. Not so much a hopper as an air-ride controlled custom car, over $8k invested in customization. Factory wheels available.
I am also considering sale of my rare 1979 Cartier Edition Mark V, details below. Auction is for burgundy Lincoln only.
The Lincoln lived down in Texas all its life, it's only been up in New York for a short time, selling due to finances. All the custom work has been professionally done, much invested. Recent work includes water pump, high output fan, a/c compressor, alternator, tuneup including installation of high output MSD distributor and plug wires. Runs great, lots of power, sounds great through dual Flowmaster exhaust.
The Lincoln was repainted about ten years ago and has a nice deep shine. The car is super straight and clean underneath, being a Southern car it's never seen winter and is corrosion free and solid. The seats have seams that are beginning to open up, I was going to have them reupholstered, carpet is fairly new. Overall presents beautifully and the four switches are fun to flip, each wheel raises and lowers independently. It's my first air ride car and it's a fun, fast, attention grabbing classic. I can send video clips on request.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Lincoln is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well.
I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. If you need it I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used many times in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates.
Once again, this is a NO RESERVE auction

here
Very solid old Lincoln overall, the only real rust behind the front wheels; two new front fenders are included. The rear has a heavy duty tow hitch with a plug for brake and directional lights as well as adjustable air shocks. The power moonroof, power quarter windows, main windows, power seats and headlight doors work properly. The floors and trunk are solid. The brakes feel a bit low, might need a master cylinder and the gas tank will drip if filled fully. The a/c compressor turns on and there is still some old style freon in the system, it blows cool. Recent work includes radiator, valve cover gaskets, water pump and alternator. All reasonable offers considered, willing to let both Lincolns go as a package. Both have clear titles. Auction is for the burgundy Lincoln only.
