March 2, 201214 yr Cheers or Jeers: 800 Mile 1979 Lincoln Mark V Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-Lincoln-Mark-V-Collector-Series-New-Astro-Roof-CB-Kasman-GM-Classics-/150769317287?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item231a8d35a7 1979 Lincoln Mark V Collectors Series. 821 Miles, As New, Window Sticker on car. (Also see this car's matched 78 Diamond Jubilee by clicking here) This car is100% original down to the rare and optional dual stripe Goodyear Polysteel tires. Surviving as one of the best preserved original cars I have ever encountered, this Collectors Mark V also boasts every option that was available. This was not a forgotten car like many old Lincolns; this was in a collection and treated as a prize, stored properly for the future. Documented down to the several battery changes the car has had in its life being about the most maintenance this car has needed. One of two as new Collector Series I have owned. The car shows in every manner as a new car. A Collector Series like this example was also the top US car offered for 1979. Being one 2040 White Collector Series Mark V’s, and being fully optioned, this car had a 24K window sticker in 1979! Although the Collector Series came pretty much loaded and had features never seen on any other Mark V, there were a few options that were not standard. This example has the expensive Astro Roof, the Kasman II interior option with the console, the Quad sound system, CB radio option with the chrome power CB antenna, and Dual Stripe Tire option. Having this selection gives the car the best of absolutely everything. It’s an every box checked car and even has a factory engine block heater just to claim it has everything. Just for those who are not familiar with the 79 CS Lincolns… Leather was a $400.00 deduct on the Collector Series. The Kasman II interior was the top interior option and offered the nice console and ebony woodtone accents and rear reading lamps with its selection. No console, reading lamps or wood accents were available on leather cars. This car also has the dark blue optioned wheels, something even more rare and desirable. They really offset the car with the blue interior vs gold wheels that many had.
March 3, 201214 yr Way too expensive. The red carpet in the garage I think it more impressive than the car.
March 3, 201214 yr WOW, Love this car, to me I could see it sell for about 20K, so it is about 48K over priced. CHEERS on Quality of the Auto JEERS on Price.
