1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition.  NO RESERVE!!  This car will sell, so be prepared to bid!  I purchased this car from the family of the original owner.  It has 53,039 miles on it which I believe to be actual.  The engine is a 400 2bbl which runs great.  The car is equipped with all the standard options all of the Mark Series has, like power locks, seats (both), windows, trunk release, interval-wipers, cruise control, AM/FM/8-track radio with remote seek (working), rear defrost, etc.  The things which I know are not working are the passenger door-lock actuator and the A/C, which needs a recharge (compressor is free and connected).  Exhaust is new and carb has been recently rebuilt.  The car starts and runs very well and all the other options I mentioned are working properly.  It tracks straight on the highway and rides like only a Lincoln does!  One other mechanical component which needs attention is a bushing in the steering linkage which is sloppy.  It does not affect the driveability of the car, but is annoying as the wheel turns slightly before the steering engages the steering gear.  It is a common problem for Marks which I haven't gotten around to fixing.  The car doesn't appear to have had any Winter use at all as it is very clean and all original so far as I can tell.  The pinstripes are all intact and all the paint matches from panel to panel and is very glossy.  This IS an original car and IS NOT flawless.  I would call it an exceptional example of an original 34 year-old vehicle, but it does have chips which have been touched up with the correct paint.  It is not banged up, dented, or full of dings.  The original owner clearly took good care of it and I have had it in climate-controlled storage.  The original spare is in the trunk and appears to have never left as it still has blue residue on the whitewall and the seams on the tread show no wear whatsoever.  The interior is outstanding and really needs nothing.  The original floor mats are intact and the carpet is excellent.  The dash and arm-rests have no cracking at all, and all of the glass is good.  The rear-view mirror on the passenger side swivels around a bit and probably needs to be disassembled and tightened up.  I have done my best to accurately describe this car.  It is not my wish to mislead anyone about anything whatsoever, so if you have specific questions about the car please ask, and you can count on an honest answer.  If there are views of the car you would like me to provide, please message me and I will get them to you ASAP.  Please feel free to call if you would like to talk more about the car of ask me any questions.  I have been collecting Lincolns for nearly 20 years and am very familiar with these cars.  Thank you for looking!  -John 701-729-6839  Buyer will be required to provide a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end time.
