Priced competitively for a quick, confident sale.
📖 Overview
Step back into the golden age of American luxury. The 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is the ultimate ’70s personal luxury coupe—so iconic that even Elvis Presley owned one. With its one-year-only design and legendary 460 V8, this Mark IV delivers style, comfort, and presence like no other.
This Lincoln runs and drives well, has cold A/C, and features a brand-new exhaust system front to back along with a new carburetor. It also comes with its original manuals, spare tire, and jack. The vinyl top is in nice shape, the body is solid, and the floors and rockers are intact.
The engine runs excellent, the transmission shifts smoothly with clean fluid, and the car has a good electrical system with no shorts. Heat works, headlights function properly, and overall it’s a well-maintained classic ready for enjoyment today.
⚠️ Buyer Transparency
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a classic Lincoln with full transparency. Don’t be deceived—every 50+ year-old car has issues, but most sellers simply don’t disclose them. If you look at the average listing, they often sound like concours-quality vehicles. I’d rather be upfront and let you know exactly what you’re getting, so you can make a confident decision.
📌 Highlights
Rare 1972 Model – No government-mandated emission controls, higher-compression 460 V8, and sleek styling before the heavier bumpers of ’73+
Cold Factory A/C – Extremely uncommon to find fully functional today
Smooth 460 V8 + C6 Transmission – Powerful, reliable, and silky-shifting
Beautiful Color Combination – Nice looking paint, solid vinyl top, and a well-kept interior
Comfortable & Clean – No smoke smells, no burns, very comfortable seating
Runs & Drives Well – Strong drivetrain with new carburetor and full exhaust system
Garage Kept – Not a flip or consignment, just a well-loved survivor
Includes – Original manuals, spare tire, and jack
