Among the final model year for the Mark V, this 1979 Lincoln Continental comes finished in white over red leather upholstery. Powered by a 400ci V8 engine mated with a 3-speed automatic transmission, it also features vinyl landau roof, opera windows, concealed headlights, power accessories, steel wheels with hubcaps, automatic climate control, an updated radio, and more. Cared for by the same family since new, this garage-kept Mark V is now being offered for auction out of Florida with just over 34k miles showing on the odometer.

This example is finished in white with a red vinyl roof incorporating distinctive rear quarter oval opera windows. Red trim and pinstripes accent the exterior, along with extensive chrome trim. Equipment also includes hidden headlamps, a Continental rear tire hump, and aftermarket turbine-style wheels. Minor paint chips are noted on the driver’s door, front passenger’s side fender, and trunk lid, as well as an area of paint touch-up near the driver's door handle. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

Inside, occupants are greeted with red leather upholstery accented by woodgrain trim along the dashboard, door panels, and steering wheel. Amenities include power locks, windows, air conditioning, reading and dome lights, and an upgraded aftermarket radio. The seller recommends reupholstering the rear deck area and refastening the interior door handles. The dashboard currently does not illuminate and the horn does not work.

Power comes from a 400ci V8 engine featuring a two-barrel carburetor, which delivers a factory-rated 159 HP and 315 lb.-ft of torque to rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes an independent front suspension using coil springs and a solid rear axle with leaf springs, along with four-wheel disc brakes. The seller adds that a recent tune-up was performed and new belts have been installed.

This sale will include a clean title.

The seller would like you to know: “This isn’t just any classic car—it’s a piece of family history. Owned by one family since its original purchase, this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V has been lovingly cared for and garage-kept its entire life. It’s a true gem for a collector or enthusiast who will appreciate its legacy and give it the care it deserves. Serious inquiries only, please. This isn’t just a car—it’s a story, and I’m looking for someone who wants to write its next chapter. Reach out to schedule a viewing or ask any questions!

Key Features:

• Garage-Kept: Always stored indoors, ensuring the undercarriage is completely free of rust.
• Amazing Condition: Minor wear and tear, including a few paint chips, rear window shield upholstery, and passenger door handle but nothing that detracts from its classic appeal.
• Mechanically Sound: The motor runs well and has been recently tuned up. I keep the battery disconnected when the car is sitting because there is a slight battery draw that can drain it. A new radiator ensures smooth performance, it needs some work but nothing more than any other antique.
• Timeless Design: The Mark V is a symbol of luxury and American automotive history, boasting iconic lines and a spacious interior.

Why I’m Selling:

This car has been a cherished keepsake for our family, but I’m moving to an island where the saltwater air would be unkind to this classic beauty. I’d rather see it go to someone who will continue to appreciate and preserve it.

Why It’s Worth It:

This Mark V is the perfect project car. It’s ready for a little TLC to bring it back to its full glory, and it offers an unmatched combination of style, nostalgia, and comfort. ”
