Description:

1976 Lincoln Mark IV All original car!
It's original ONLY ONCE!
This is truely a survivor from the 70's and has resided in Colorado's dry climate all of it's existence and has been garage kept during that time. It's original paint is starting to show some thinning on the top surfaces(hood, 1/2 of top & trunk) the sides still look great! The factory vinyl top is in good condition as well, with some slight dis-coloration in several places, nothing major.
The interior leather seats are in beautiful conditiion w/ just minor wear as seen in pictures on drivers seat back edge. Dash pad has no cracks, which is a testament to being garage kept. all the chrome trim is in beautiful shape as well! This all original Mark series is equipped with a smooth running 460 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power moon-roof, color coordinated leather interior, thick pile carpeting, AM/FM radio, power windows, power door locks, power drivers seat.
The engine starts with ease, idles smooth, runs and drives almost as well as it did when it was new. Driving this car is like riding on a cloud, it literally floats! Currently, the car has 107, 726 miles. It has been driven only 4, 428 miles during the past 24 years. I am planning to take it for a drive this weekend so, it will have slightly more miles on it.
Like most older Lincoln's ( I have owned quite afew of them) when it sit in the garage & is not driven, it does develope some fluid leaks (pwr steering, trans fluids as the oil drains back into the pan from torque converter causing it rise past the top of pan gasket. If you are familiar with older cars, especially Lincoln's & Ford products, this is very common. Tires have good tread on them & should be fine for a shorter drive. I would replace them if I planned to drive cross country, especially in the heat of summer. I would not hesitate driving this car the 2000 +/- miles from Denver to Boston, then back to Denver. For those of you who are wondering about mileage, it averages somewhere in the mid teens, as long as you don't use a lead foot. If you are heavy on the gas foot, you may get only 12mpg. It's all in how you drive!
I will stand behind my description as to condition of this vehicle. If you arrive to pick it up within seven (7) days from end of auction & you find this car to be materially different than the description, I will refund your deposit, shake your hand & we part company on a friendly note. Fair enough?
