1979 Lincoln Mark V Continental, Cartier edition – $12,000

This was my personal car, the exclusive ‘Cartier’ model was the ‘loaded’ model. I had been in the process of restoring it to top condition in 1995, complete with new tires and original paint job. A few months after, a minor hail storm made holes in the old brittle ‘half’ Vinyl top (no damage to paint or body) and I threw up my hands, bought a Cad, and parked it in my metal pole barn. Where it has sit ever since.

But as I am now in my mid-eighties, and none of my kids want it, it is time for me to let it go. If you want to restore one of the old ‘dinosaurs’, here is one worth your time and money. It was my Florida car when I maintained two residences, had it shipped up here to restore, it has never been driven on salt.

The 1979 Mark V was the last Lincoln to have the BIG engine, it has about 130,000 miles on it, was working fine when I stored it, the engine and transmission had never given me a problem before laying it up. (It will, naturally, need a new battery and a serious tune-up job as part of a restoral after sitting sad and lonely in the barn for 15 years.)

Will consider a swap for bare land in NW Wisconsin.
