Vehicle Details Year: 1979 Make: Lincoln Model: Continental VIN: 9 Y 89 S 749239 Mileage: 89970 Transmission: Automatic Engine: 8 Cylinder Exterior Color: Black Interior Color: Black Title: Clear

Crevier Classic Cars is pleased to offer this remarkably well preserved 1979 Continental MK V. The Mark V is a totally original car. including original paint. leather interior. engine. transmission. roof. carpets. all original factory stampings. inspection marks and just 89. 00 miles from new. etc. It was bought from the original owner's family in Monmouth. Oregon. It was a very rare find in this excellent. original condition. The previous owner is a large commercial farmer. I purchased it directly from his son and grandson. The owner was placed in an assisted living home. It had always been meticulously maintained. however the car hadn't been driven for the last four years prior to me purchasing it. It was a rare. special order Mark V in Triple Black with the Carriage roof option (opera window delete) with full leather interior. To my knowledge there was only one other 1979 Mark V ordered in this configuration. however. it was ordered with the less desirable velour interior. The Carriage roof was standard on the Bill Blass Designer Series.

This car was a very lucky find. It is the last of the great American full sized luxury coupes. The design and proportions of the car were in my opinion. a work of art in a more modern era luxury car. It was the total refinement of the Mark III and Mark IV Continentals. There is now one in the Nethercutt Museum. I was getting very disappointed in my search. I was getting very discouraged and about to give up when I found this one under the radar. My stepson lives in Portland. so I asked him to go down to Monmouth to check it out for me. He was astonished when he saw it and persuaded me to come up immediately and buy it before someone else found out about it. He was right.

The owner's son was very nice. He let me take the car Les Schwab's in Salem to get it checked out up on the rack. Coincidently. they had installed the existing Michelin tires on the car in 1992. When I got it home. I took it to a local carburation specialist to pull the tank and also to make sure that everything was proper in order to California smog. as it's a 50-state car. My goal was to bring everything up to new reliability standards. as my wife would be driving the car at times. I have done all of the following documented mechanical repairs/service. and more:

Full tune up. plugs. cap. rotor. timing

Full C-6 trans service.

3 oil & filter changes to purge out old oil

Complete new brake system. including calipers. rotors. flex lines and pads. Purged system

New tires & shocks. alignment

New transistor ignition module. coil. plugs. distributor and magnetic pick up

A/C serviced and converted to 134. expansion valve replaced

Fiber steering flex coupler replaced

New high and low beam lights

New muffler

New hoses & belts. air filter

Removed R & L window regulators and replaced all nylon bushings

Replaced and or repaired R & L plastic arm rests on doors as new (they are commonly broken or cracked)

Replaced faux wood horn pad center with a new original for show (commonly deteriorate from age)

Repaired all functions of original cassette radio to operate perfectly

Purchased full size spare wheel & tire to save original space saver spare & air can for shows. It is an award winner and is as mint as a Mark V that exists. Please contact us at
