I was born in 1979, you said 26 years old so many times I'm starting to feel 10 years younger myself! What a cool car, my favorite era of cars styling wise.
NOT a Cartier. NOT the lowest mileage Mark V in the world. There are dozens in the hands of collectors with
+TJ Bski No way, I am a firm believer that the sound system will add value. That makes the vehicle even rarer and in my opinion pretty cool. I love these boats from the 70's.
maybe maybe... The cassetteplayer is a vintagepiece of itself, cool also, yes. But still where did the 8track go? And the car is not padded! I have seen more special MarkV's, I think. The original stickering all over the engine seems interesting though.
@@CarlsCustomCreations Modifications do nothing to enhance a car's rarity LOL
You Americans sure made some great looking cars back in the 60's and 70's. This is yetanother excellent example of those wonderful automobiles. To me, walking into thatcar showroom would be like a kid walking into the best candy shop. Thanks for posting.
I know it. Now we Americans have adapted the European car design and Japanese. Imagine a European designed car with a dash of Japanese queues... Yikes.
I don't mind the European design though.
This 8 generation American loves old cars, but the people that sell them are like the horse traders of old. Anytime you buy a used car, whether it's 1 or 110 years old, have it checked out by your very trusted straight talking mechanic. Don't let some sociopath car salesman take you. I speak from experience, and I have been taken.
I'm almost 60, and if you're 30 now, this car won't be work scrap metal in another 30 years. If you want a classic, a 70's car is not the way to go.
He keeps saying 26yo, It is 36 yo.
When I tell you to drive a car such as this it's an amazing amazing treat. If you've never driven or rode in a Mark V of these eras you simply don't know what you're missing. All luxury cars of this era were amazing. I do like the modern cars and their quality but man let me tell you these cars were simply unbelievable to drive or ride in
Wow!! What a machine!! My grandfather owned one of these in that exact same color back in the day. I *so* wish I had talked my family into giving me that car when he passed away. His was very low miles and very original when he died in 1993. He kept that car immaculate. I often wonder about it -- where it is now, and if someone is still caring for it the way he did.
it's not a Cartier edition. All Lincoln's had Cartier clocks, unless it has the Cartier name etched into the opera window glass it is just a regular MkV. It's the wrong color for a Cartier also. 5 mins research on the net would establish what this car is.
it isn't an MK. anything. that designation wasn't thought of until very very recently. it is a Continental Mark V
This is one AWESOME machine. I would just about give an arm for this car. Just beautiful!
I owned a Mark V back in that time period (late 70's), and the automobile being shown above is not a Cartier Mark V. The Cartier edition was beige with red accents. This was I believe, the wedgewood blue luxury group Mark V, not the Cartier. (I should know, I OWNED ONE!)
Yup! I should know..it's outside my bedroom window
This car is a masterpiece!
My mom had this car (Cartier Edition) when I was a kid. Brings back a lot of memories. It drove and rode very nice!
So cool, this car came off the line while I was in High School. It's gorgeous.
When they say "they don't build them like they used to" when it comes to the Lincoln Mark V, they TRULY MEAN, they seriously don't make them like they used to; there will never be a car as amazingly overbuilt and luxurious in a mass produced automobile ever again as was the Lincoln Mark V.
A bold statement. I like the boldness.
Frank Cannon! Great looking car. I'm sure William Conrad would be happy.
Frank had Mark IV, NOT V!!!
I've never seen a cassette changer like that, I didn't knew those existed.
Cartier's came in light champagne for 78 and 79. 79s had a red bar across the front of the vinyl roof.
Yep sure did it's Not a Cartier!!
Love the blue interior with the thin steering wheel & the blue wrap around steering wheel cover. Classy & period correct. Everyone used those things.
This was my first car. same color, same interior, year, moon roof etc. Mine was in a lot worse shape with about 175,000 miles little rust on the fenders. I paid a $100 for it. I loved that car!! Had a lot of fun cruising in it. I drove it for about 2 years. It started having a lot of problems that were expensive to fix and being a teenager I didn't have the money. I ended up selling it to the junk yard. What a shame. This was in 92'
This car is unbelievably cool. Nice presentation!
beautiful color matching interior.. what a breath of fresh air blue interiors are.. where did we go wrong, and just have black/grey/biege color options these days :( Great car!
Beautiful! I had a '79 New Yorker.It was an amazing car!
I wish they'd bring back the plush interiors. My uncle had this car and I remember feeling like a million dollars in it.
I am so happy because I found one of these in a scrap yard in decent condition
thats not a cartier, I have a 79 Cartier, and it has to say Cartier in the opera windows. You can also see orange peel in the paint. My 79 is truly original, and it doesnt even have any wear on the steering wheel. not even on the woodgrain in the center of the wheel. I always get a kick out of these guys trying to call a mark v a Cartier just because it says Cartier on the Clock. 79 Cartiers didnt come in blue either. I know my Mark fives.
Troy Kaprowski would you consider selling it
I had a nice 79 mark 5. i drove it from 1988 to about 96 or so. loved that car. 400-2v , 2.47 rear gear, I think. Main bearings started to bring the oil light on at idle. 140,000 miles. Best riding interstate cruiser ever. loved the power wing windows. Also movable/ colapsing front grill.
And it is obviously detailed, which is why the paint is so smooth. If you look closely when he measures the paint thickness on the driver’s side quarter behind the door, you can see rust behind the side molding.
This guy is a car salesman......he opens his mouth and lies come out..... especially a car salesman that has a goat scrotum on his head.....
Troy Kaprowski Bill Blass was blue & white I think 🤔 right? Did you see bubbles on the paint under the trunk lid? Was that water 💦 or what? If it’s water how did it get under the trunk lid? I’ve never seen multiple amps like that on a stock Mark. It looks like one for each speaker 🔊. What jack nut would wrap the steering wheel with that Walmart special? The engine bay looked great. I would check the suspension it looked low in the rear when he drove it by the camera even with acceleration. I’ve been looking for a 79 for a long time. Last of the. 70’s before high gas prices & emission standards killed luxury cars.
I still listen to cassette in both my vehicles.
Theses cars really look bad ass!! Thinking about finding one !!
I'd feel as if I was being hustled by Kurt Russel in _Used Cars_ dealing with this guy.
I realize that cassette changer was a home unit shoehorned into the trunk, but I'm blown away by it's existence. I've never seen one advertised anywhere in print, or on tv.
a cassette changer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even know that existed?!?!
+Adolfo Avendano .....That cassette changer is from a home stereo system....it was never made to go in a car....companies like Aiwa and Sony were making cassette changers for cars by the early 80's....apparently this was someones effort to "rig" something together.
+Chris Austen Evindently. And that right there is a deal breaker for me. Takes up half the trunk and clearly does not belong there!:)
+Chris Austen You are actually wrong on this...that was a system called Quadraphonic and WAS available as a very expensive option on these cars.
+Todd V ....I think you misunderstood my comment....you mention the quadraphonic system, I assume you are talking about the head unit up front in the dash...in that case, you are right that it was an option from the factory (two of my Lincolns had the quad. system)....my comment however, was about the extra equipment installed in the trunk...the cassette changer and the amplifiers. I have been buying Lincolns for the past 40 years, in fact I've been obsessed with them all my adult life...I even have original sales brochures from all the late '70's Lincolns showing what options were available...I know Lincolns like the back of my hand...and I can tell you point blank that the stuff in the trunk was not an option from the factory or even from the dealer...the equipment in the trunk was installed by either a independent car stereo store, or possibly even by the original car owner himself (I know because I always install systems like that in most of my Lincolns)...in fact, if you want proof, view the video above and pause it at 6:36 and you can see a good close up of the cassette changer...now, do a Google "Image" search for "Panasonic cassette RS-296US...you will see the exact same machine, and you will see old advertisements from stereo hi-fi magazines that clearly depict that cassette changer as a home stereo component...it was never meant to go in a car...and if you watch the video closely, you will also see that the cassette unit severely overhangs the wheel well shelf that it's sitting on, and you'll also notice that when he tries to open the top of the cassette changer, he can't open it much at all because the lid hits the edge of the trunk...none of this would be the case if the cassette unit was from the factory or the dealer.......sorry for such a long post, but my point was that the radio head unit in the dash IS original from the factory...but the cassette changer and amplifiers in the trunk were put in later by someone else and that the cassette changer is clearly a "home stereo" piece.
Your right, Chris Austen! After taking a closer look, that is a home unit. Thanks.
Gorgeous!
Tony my friend I remember these mark 5 not this particular colour but wow the memories
I just bought a ‘78 Mk V this last weekend for 2k. She’s a big blue hunk of crap but with some elbow grease she’ll be a beast!
My Favorite Old Car Design and in my Favorite color but priced like a Diamond Jubilee Edition. Sweet Ride for Sure Tony. Love the Suede over the leather.
Now this dude knows how to walk a car through...... nice Lincoln nice video
I have a base model mark v but it’s rare because it has the sunroof option so a base model with a expensive option, not a lot of base models have that option
This is one espectacular car though, when I was waiting to see more from the interior and especially from it’s Audio/ stereo to be heard.
I was born in real Lincoln era with two Lincoln dealerships family owned. Cartier edition was only all dove gray inside and out. They all had Cartier clocks from 1977 through 2004 which was my last big Lincoln. Folks need to get educated on those gems and stop calling them Cartier because of the clock.
Also like to add Cartier one year was all tan with red accent on seats and a ban in red around the half vinyl top.
gorgeous!
I just bought a car almost identical at auction for 4000. only difference is white top and white stripe. 19000 miles
+James Smith Wow, that's a steal! I bought mine for 2,500, but mine had been restored by a collector years ago. Mine had 77,000 miles on it and it is now pushing 100,000.
I have 1979 Mark V, same diamond blue color, in Finland, about 80000 miles, nicer than this;o) Would not sell it less than 16000 euros!!! For sure....
I grew up in that era and I had no idea a cassette changer was even a thing. That had to have been super expensive.
What a remarkable car. The Americans sure knew how to make a real cruiser back then. Very impressive.
Hey Tony, you should do a Dealer tour like every car
I very want this car already 2 years. Earn money, people!
well you think that's fabulous...my parents have a 1979 collectors series midnight blue original everything...speakers, radio, engine, 8 track, spells of leather still, 4 door. orginal under 4000 miles. NOW THAT'S REMARKABLE!!!
Are there paint bubbles on the inside of the trunk lid? At 6:18. I can't imagine it's actually rust, though. Great car!
that car will be worth a LOT of money in 1979.
chieftp
In 79’ I’m gonna guess and say $15-16,000 brand new
My dad had a 73 Continental, but he always wanted one of these, but my mom wanted a 280ZX, my mom won, so my dad kept his 73, which at the end of the day was not too much different. The Mark cost more and was marketed as a personal car, but at the end of the day it was still a land yacht. I have to admit those land yachts drove smooth, and had lot's of torque, but you were not going to win any races and the body lean was like a ship listing, and you did not want to get into a situation where you would have to stop fast. I admit though that after learning to drive on that 73 Continental, you could drive anything after getting used to it.
He keeps saying "26 years old". It's 2015 Tony, not 2005. (But I get his point)
There's something strangely sexy about Tony, although he can't add or subtract.
+BC Bell Yeah, that's a 36 year old car - Awesome man.
He's clearly a dumbass
👀Maybe his man bun is way too tight 👅cutting off circulation to his brain
he walks around in public with a man bun in his hair..of course he's an idiot
This is the Sicilian Mafia car
I have never seen an aftermarket, trunk mounted cassette changer! Show us how that thing works and how it's controlled from the driver's seat.
would love to take this beast on a coast to coast road trip
super low production, jeeze, back in the day they were all over the place. My Neighbor had a white one with a red half vinyl top, he liked it, but told me it was a bit too big , especially in parking lots
I always thought the silver mark V's were some of the best looking ones, I also used to see a Bill Blass MK V, a lot, in a parking garage I used to park in every day and it looked really good in Navy
thank you, I am young again. :)
It's not a Cartier. Cartiers were painted in Champagne Mist.Gotta be a 400 engine. That was the only engine that they offered in 1979.
If I'm not mistaken the Cartier and Bill Blass editions also did not have "opera" windows at the c-pillar. I've always detested those windows. That stereo that he pumped up is after-market and while interesting, "back in the day" equipment, it does mean that the originality of this "lowest mileage in the world" vehicle has been compromised. Beautiful car though.
0:20 "it´s a one owner car"
1:08 "one brother bought it from the other"
+JE Torrico he perobably meant one family owned car
+JE Torrico and it sounds like they lived together
My father had that exact car he bought it new had it for a few years sold it then a year or so later bought it back cause he missed it so much
had a perfect 74,76, mark iv and 77,78,79 mark v and they were so worthless in the 90's. I knew I had awesome overlooked Lincolns. My friends laughed and thought they were hot shots in stupid Nissian z cars. Dime a dozen rattle busters now. Meanwhile my Lincoln's are worth of fortune and finally appreciated for their extreme beauty and on believable comfort and ride. Of course I sold them all back in the nineties. I could shoot myself! They just don't make greatness anymore. It's all one color no vinyl tops to break up the monotony along with any chrome parts to help accents. Even tail lights don't have chrome trim anymore. Everything's just placed in ready to go. They focus on the interior toys,and everything looks like everything else. I am so sick by this video because it's a great car I can't afford it, and I had so many just like it and I sold them. All as perfect. How it hurts my feelings. My Garnet red 1979 Lincoln Mark V with a white top and white trim and a two-tone interior that was burgundy and mauve I sold for $2,300 around 1995. That was its maximum value. Today I don't even want to discuss it.
Don't worry, I bought them. lol ... No seriously, during the period of time when you were selling yours, I bought a couple of Mark Vs at very low prices, enjoyed the hell out of them, and sold them later for the same price I'd paid for them.
the Z cars are also worth a fortune now, just saying.
jack basil u
That cassette changer and amps and all that aftermarket junk has got to go.
I bought a 1975 Mark IV last year, not as beautiful as this car, but that 7.5 L 385 Ford engine can move it, and heck, who wouldn't want a 4800 lb easy boy chair? My wife likes it too, says it is comfortable. It does drink gas in stop and go traffic, but on the open highway, it gets respectable fuel numbers for what it is.
Is the sound system original?
always a great presention.ITS FOR SALE??? TELL US THE PRICE.???
Is this car still for sale? If so, what are the details! Please let me know! Thank you!
Look at 2:15 in the lower right corner where the trim meets the wheel arch, there is rust starting behind the trim.
yessiree
+that's one of the areas my old one rusted through at.
And they still want $20,000 for this thing. Yeah I don't think so. It's been on the market now for almost a year and a half. They won't sell it until they cut that price by at least 30%.
How come it doesn't say Cartier on the Opera windows?
the car is incredible and we love your shirt…very cool! But the hair bun, whatever that thing is called.
The hair bun is terrible. The shirt is great. And his fingers are pretty, too.
Man bun lol haha
Wow. His paint meter again. Its the best quality luxury car in the world because the paint thickness varies 40 to 50 percent.
You forgot to point out the Cartier clock in the dash and if it still works or not.
Wish mine looked that good
Want it!!!!!! Dawn, got kids.
Blue hair color included?
Back to sales school for you!
Soooo, I just picked up my 79 Courtier and it has just under 30k on it. Almost had ya beat! A very freaking awesome car..... and the steal I got it for.....dum de dumm dumm.......$2.7k. Yes, a steal.
Please tell me the price, otherwise, how can I know if it is within my ball park. Also I am in Australia si I will want it converted to RHD. Do you know anyone over there who could do this?
Hey Jim, Give us a call at 301-816-1000 and we can answer all your question!
That car is PIMP!!!
If it was a Cartier it would have "Cartier" written on the opera window. Which, at 8:37, It clearly does not. Also, Cartiers were not offered in Diamond Blue. in 1979, The Cartiers were finished in metallic Creme.
36 years. ...not 26.
I knew a guy who had to cut part of the 2 x 4's on the back of his garage to get the car all the way in.. i think it was maroon in color . I was floored over the car...
How much did this car sell for
Mine has less mileage, but it has been in a barn for the last 40 years and looks like it.
Something is phony about this guy. I think it is because he oversells his cars.
+johnnyedify I got the same impression. Talks like a typical car salesman/swindler.
Maybe because he doesn't know what kind of car that is. Absolutely not a Cartier. May not even be a '79.
Facts
100% original paint... except for a couple paint chips that we fixed to factory spec.
You know how rare that cassette changer is
I am watching in 2018..
Why don't you do anymore of these videos??
+Jusaxi maybe fired!
Ok that's a 1979! Not a 78/79! But a 79! You know how I know that? Cause my father had them both! While new. Yes he had some amazing cars back in the day. From a 58 Chrysler New York to a 1964 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe. Then a 1971 Lincoln Coupe to a 1978 Town Car and 1979 Mark V. I know the difference cause the 78 Lincoln had the 460 cid V8 yep a full 7.8 LT! While one year alter the 79's only had the 400 cid 6.9 LT V8, the 460 had 4 brl carb and the 400 a 2brl. Needless to say the 460 had a lot more power at still only 240 hp, but 400 ft lbs tq! while the 400 had under 200 hp and just 350 ft lbs tq! The best running of the 70's Lincolns were the 70/71, with the 460 4brl dual exhaust and higher compression that had over 350 hp and almost 500 ft lbs tq!
Better than most insane modern car's. ...you crush and yet walk out freely without being looked inside. ....the new technology car's are killing people small accident then everything get blocked damn
I don't know what somebody would do with this thing. It would be cool to drive for a week or two, and I won't even talk about the mileage, but cars like this are hard to maneuver, and I hope you have a big garage. I can't see how these are going to be high dollar cars, as even when they were out cars like MBZ 450s and BMW 635s were also available, and the workmanship, quality, design and handling of these did not really compare. They mainly appealed to guys in their 40s and 50s who had never driven a European car, if you really liked Goodfella's, that is kind of what I am talking about.
The Mark V wasn't built for handling. Nevertheless a terrific car to drive and the ride? Fuggetaboutit
+Kenneth Southard You don't have to be a snob about it. I mean, we all have our own tastes.
Matthew Butler Actually, I speak from a little experience. I grew up driving my Dad's 73 Continental, and drove that around until he sold it for an Audi 5000. Also two of my uncle's owned Mark Vs, one had the Cartier edition the other the Bill Blass, spent a quite a few miles in those too.
Let me expand a bit. Believe it or not, I actually have somewhat of a soft spot for these cars. In the very late 1960s to the mid 70s, these were cool. However, by the time the late 70s and early 80s came along, these cars became pass'e almost overnight. I think it had to do with a combination of the low mileage and the superior capabilities and build quality of the higher end German autos. The Mark V was at the end of this era, and was really a hold over. It was running on the old Thunderbird chassis and most of these were sold with the 400 where the Mark IV at least had the 460. The Continental was in a similar situation running on the old LTD frame. At about this time, Ford was also selling a gussied up a Grananda, which itself was a gussied up Maverick and trying to get top dollar for it as the Versailles, a friend of mine's mom had one, which I also drove quite a bit as well (By the way, I know that the Seville was based on the Nova, but GM did a much better job in the execution than Ford did with the Versailles.) Cadillac had at least seen this change coming when they came out with Seville in 75 and had also downsized the full size line in 77. I think that decision served to make that brand relevant today vs. Lincoln which just kind of sank into the abyss.
I feel that you are degrading a great automobile for car enthusiasts who clicked on this video to see the car they love. I have much experience with classic automobiles. Especially the Lincoln Mark V. I currently own a 1977 Lincoln Mark V with the 460 v8. I personally love all cars for what they are. This isn't a racer, and I know and understand that. It is a full sized luxury sedan that drove, rode and handled as such. Don't get me wrong, I love all classics. However, comparing this particular vehicle to smaller sports cars is an injustice to say the least.
I've got one for sale with thousand miles,beautiful,
32,000
At 2:56 There's only 0.5 Showing on the scale ?????
I got the same exact car color everything with 30,000 miles
it doesn't have the Cartier logo in the opera Windows nor the insignia on the bottom right of trunk. Cartier edition Lincolns in 1978 only came in tan. as far as I know. I own one. It's my garage queen
I would say some young buyers put this stereo in there. I cant believe elderly people would want all those knobs.
HOW MUCH !!!
own 2 1979 Mark 5! best cars I ever owned!
I thought mine didn’t have many miles
A couple things, I have a 61k mile 79 mark 5 and the rear seatbelt are still in the factory plastic which means it was never sat in, he dared me too, by the way I only payed 2700 for it... look on my channel for the video
The last big Lincoln, after 1979 they started to built clown cars.
The towncar existed till 2011 and while not big like these, hardly a clown car..
A man-bun!
Dude on a computer that's so his buddy has something to hold on to
Hey Einstein, the car is *36* yrs old.
Matt Garretts cars are low mileage and real!
best fukin garage everrrrr jonathan from bs as argentina!!!!
