Description
Power comes from the 400 cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a C6 automatic transmission and a 2.47 conventional rear axle. The interior is appointed in Turquoise Velour Twin Comfort Lounge seats, part of the Turquoise Luxury Group, and features a host of premium options including air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, speed control, reclining passenger seat, power windows, AM/FM 8-track stereo with CB radio, and remote-control mirrors. Wire wheel covers, rocker panel moldings, and white premium bodyside moldings complete the period-correct presentation.
According to the Marti Report, this car is one of only 898 produced in this paint and trim combination, further distinguishing it among the 75,939 Mark V Coupes built for 1979. Its documented provenance, rare color combination, and full complement of luxury options make it a standout choice for collectors of premium American personal luxury coupes.
Of the 75,939 Lincoln Mark V Coupes built for 1979, only 3,136 were equipped with the Turquoise Luxury Group. Just 1,582 were painted Medium Turquoise Moondust Metallic, with 898 featuring Turquoise Velour Twin Comfort seats. Of those, only 108 combined the White Valino Landau vinyl roof.
