Pristine 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collector’s Series to be Auctioned
A remarkably preserved 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collector’s Series, displaying just 97 miles on its odometer, is currently up for auction in Florida.
The vehicle, finished in Midnight Blue Metallic with a matching Midnight Blue vinyl Landau roof, was originally delivered to Uptown Motors Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and remained in a private collection in Wisconsin until 2024. It features a 400ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, along with a power sunroof, power-assisted disc brakes, and a Quadrasonic AM/FM/8-track stereo system. Recent servicing included flushing the fuel and braking systems, an oil change, and a new battery. The car’s exceptionally low mileage and original condition make it a standout example of late-1970s American luxury.
Included with the sale are a window sticker, a Deluxe Marti Report detailing its factory specifications, owner’s manuals, a tool kit, and a clean Missouri title. The interior boasts Midnight Blue velour upholstery and power-adjustable Comfort Lounge front seats. A detailed online listing provides extensive photos and documentation of the vehicle’s condition. The Continental Mark V represented a high point in Lincoln’s design and engineering, often sought after by collectors of classic American automobiles – learn more about the Mark V’s history here.
The vehicle is being offered at no reserve, and the selling dealer anticipates strong interest from collectors and enthusiasts. Officials stated the car is ready for immediate delivery to its next owner.
