1976 Lincoln Mark Series Versailles

As charming as it is cool, this 19,858-mile Lincoln wraps an original 460/3-speed drivetrain in traditional American luxury that's simply unmatched in scale and grandeur! Mid '70s metal features some of the most ornate styling from the Malaise Era. And this coupe's classy silver-on-red color combination is the perfect canvas for far-flung detail. In fact, the car's luxurious yet traditional pigment is decidedly stately, proving once again that good taste never goes out of style. Under that color, itself a... single PPG respray of the car's original Silver Diamond Fire single-stage, vast sheetmetal appears as straight, clean and crisp as the day the Motor City stamped it. That solid fuselage is well aligned, featuring re-dyed vinyl and wide doors that open and close with ease. Spears of red outlining stripes stretch 19.5 feet down the sides of one of the longest profiles ever built. And overall, this Lincoln's looks defy the decades its VIN suggests. Motivation for this 5,300-pound beast is provided by a proven Ford 385-Series 460, which twists 202 horsepower into 353 ft./lb. of smooth torque. Behind that mill, Ford's reliable and sturdy C6 3-speed automatic transmission drives a 9-inch axle and mild, 2.75 gears to effortless highway cruising. That powertrain rides a heavy duty suspension, which mixes sturdy disc brakes with requisite power steering. Everything rolls on gorgeous forged wheels, which spin 235/75R15 Suretrac Power Touring whitewalls. And, naturally, the plush Versailles interior is just as cool as the rest of the car, wrapping minimal wear in exquisite '70s luxury. There simply can't be many Malaise Era cruisers that are nicer than this, and a classically themed Lincoln is most definitely the one to own. If you're looking for a spectacular classic that also happens to be largely original, this opulent coupe will not disappoint! Call, click or visit for more information.
